I HAVE A MAXIMA 2000, STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH 6 CARS INFRONT. ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT ME FROM THE REAR AT ABOUT 40 MPH SENDING MY CAR TO ANOTHER VAN INFRONT.THAT SEND THAT VAN TO ANOTHER CAR INFRONT. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THE NISSAN COMPANY SAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOYED IF HIT FROM REAR FIRST!!. WELL, MY FRONT SIDE WAS STILL HIT HARD ENOUGHT TO THE TWO CAR INFRONT OF ME, THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME FROM FRONTAL IMPACT.
