NHTSA Complaint #10567059 — 2010 NISSAN VERSA

DRIVING IN SNOWY/ICY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE STARTED ANGLE TOWARDS ONCOMING VEHICLE (LARGE POWER COMPANY BUCKET/BOOM TRUCK). THE TRUCKS DRIVER (THERE WERE MORE THAN ONE) SAW ME COMING AT HIM. THE TRUCK MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ME. I COLLIDED INTO THE DRIVER CORNER OF THE LARGE TRUCK HEAD-ON. BUMPER WENT INTO THE ENGINE. TAIL-END OF MY VEHICLE SWUNG AROUND TO MEET HIS DRIVER SIDE WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN MY VEHICLE BROKE LOOSE FROM THE BUMPER, THE WHOLE FRONT END CAME OFF AND PART OF THE ENGINE CAME OUT. ONCE I COLLIDED WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE, I SPUN AROUND HITTING THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AS WELL. I SLID BACK ACROSS THE ROAD AS I WAS SPINNING INTO A SMALL AREA NEAR A FENCE. THAT IS WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NOW.... AFTER ALL THIS; THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT BLEW WAS THE CURTAIN BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER CURTAIN AIRBAG, THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL NOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THE DASH DID NOT GO OFF. I HAVE SUFFERED BODY(PHYSICAL AND MENTAL) DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT SINCE I HIT HEAD-ON, THE DRIVER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT TO. *TR
