2007 Nissan Titan Airbags Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I BOUGHT A 07 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY OF 07. RIGHT AWAY I FOUND THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT WORKING. INCLUDING THE AIR BAG. I HAD IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN DEC 08. I ONCE AGAIN HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON JAN, 23 AT 8:30 PM. I WAS GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT A CEMENT AND MEDAL SIGNAL POLE. THE IMPACT WAS IN THE CENTER ON THE TRUCK. MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR THE SAFETY IS PART OF WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT IS VERY SCARY. *TR

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, EARLY MORNING, DRY CONDITIONS. I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SEVERE STOMACH PAIN. I LEANED MY HEAD BACK AND NEXT THING I MUST HAVE PASSED OUT. I AWOKE AFTER STRIKING A TELEPHONE POLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE IMPACT WAS DEAD CENTER. THE LICENSE PLATE IS THE EXACT SHAPE OF THE POLE, INFACT THE SENSOR IS DIRECTLY BEHIND AND UNDER THE BUMPER FROM THE PLATE. THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND THE AIRBAGS NEITHER ONE DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CRUISE WAS SET, AND THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS, SO I MUST HAVE HIT THE POLE GOING 30-35 MPH. THE POLE IS APPROXIMATELY 3' FROM ROAD. I SUFFERED CHEST AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL RECOVERING. LUCKILY I'M STILL ALIVE! THE INTERIOR LOOKS PERFECT LIKE IT NEVER WAS WRECKED, ON THE OTHER HAND THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. THE BUMPERS ENDS WHERE LITERALLY WRAPPED AROUND THE POLE. IT WAS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN, LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I DO HAVE PHOTOS. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
