NHTSA Complaint #11701842 — 2014 NISSAN NV200

On 9/25/25 I was driving through a green light in Baltimore MD. The streets were grand view and w cold spring lane . A driver ran the red light from my left side and hit me so hard he totaled my 2014 NV200 cab edition. The air bag did not deploy , instead it shot out steering like like missle and hit me in face causing a concussion that led to overnight hospitalization to get cat scan and MRI.. the airbag also cause a permanent burn on right knuckle and lacerations, and damage to my neck from whip lash reacting to being hit unexpectedly by first car then air bag projectile. The air bag hitting me face caused more damage to my body than actual accident which caused severe lower back pain and injuries to my hand and left lingering nerve pain to left and ride side of body. The impact was so hard my nose also bled the next day and I had migraines and blurry vision for next week. I could not work for next 5 days on doctor note because of concussion. I lost income I have medical bills and I lost my van I use for my delivery business which generated 2,000 a month income.

There was no warning lights on regarding air bags deficiencies. The vehicle was inspected by opposing party insurance. Farmers insurance and deemed totaled. It was towed to bill Elliott 5900 York Rd.
