If you had your foot on the brake at the red light -> then the air bag was deployed, I cannot imagine that you took your foot off from the brake and then started to accelerate instead?   If it was me, my reaction from the deployed air bag would be to push whatever I'm pushing which is the break and NOT the gas pedal.   Personally, if you're sure it's not your mistake, I would suggest you trade in the car and move on. I don't think you can win this case. Sometimes, there's something that is not worth fighting for.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Nov 04, 2009 4:11 pm) Have you ever had airbags go off??? They go off in an instant with quite the force. When you are not expecting it, it is very logical that the foot would come off the brake. Its a natural reaction for the body to curl up as a protection mechanism. The gas pedal was not pushed. We did not even know that we hit the vehicle in front of us until the driver came out and asked if we were ok. When the mechanical inspection was done, the air bag sensors were not even damaged. The only way to actually find out what happened for sure is to get the "black box" read. Basically the airbags should not have gone off in such a low impact collision. I did some research and found out that Nissan did do a recall on the airbag sensors for the 2007 and 2008 Rogues. It makes sense that they used the same sensors in the 2009 vehicles. What I am looking for is someone who can read and interpret the black box. I know it is hard to believe but electronic devices can malfunction from time to time. The black box holds all the answers.

Replying to: rogue10169 (Nov 04, 2009 6:30 pm) Wrong country, but you could review the NHTSA complaint files and see if there are any similar complaints for the '09s, and earlier. Otherwise, dunno. Maybe an attorney who specializes in accident reconstruction kind of cases could give you some leads on a black box expert.   NHTSA Replies to this message: gooddeal2 (Nov 05, 2009 4:38 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 04, 2009 6:36 pm) I agree. I don't think you can solve this case by yourself. You would need an attorney who are willing to work on contingency fee.
