Alright folks, here's one for y'all to work on. I drive a 2017 Nissan Titan SV 2wd 12,500 miles. Driving home from work, going speed limit. Light was green the entire time I was able to visualize it, at least 10-15 seconds. As I began to cross through the intersection, well see for yourselves....



Here are a few pics from the collision.





I was unable to get out the drivers side door as it was jammed, passenger side was fine. Driver had NO insurance, which pisses me off. I have a $250 deductible. Other driver was cited for no insurance, and taken to hospital from the scene with cuts from head to toe from the broken glass, don't know about other injuries

Amazingly, and I'm slightly concerned, my air bag did not deploy. I'm pretty sore all over today, but walking and talking.

damn.

how fast were you going? 30 or 35? i am a little surprised as well the airbag didn't pop but maybe it just wasn't a hard enough hit.

DANG. Airbag should've deployed... Sorry, glad everyone is ok.

Makes me cringe just watching that video. I definitely feel for you.

Btw how did you like your titan, would you get another one? You don't hear much from people who actually own them, so just curious

---

I actually am very pleased with the Titan, albeit still concerned re: airbag deployment. I like the 5.6 V8, good acceleration, handles nicely. I average around 20 mpg. Only knock i have on it is the "infotainment", but I cant really say much as I have the SV base model type truck (my choice). I recommend them.

In before DadAg tells you it's your fault for not noticing the other car quicker.

BTW, never said that.

Try to understand what "partial" means.

Question for the AB...Given that my driver side door was jammed shut, is that indicative of frame damage, or maybe just the panel itself needing replaced?

Well aware. It was separate in the post I was responding to.

I've thought over and over since the wreck and watched the video several times. I don't think there's any way I could've avoided. I was watching the road, hit the brakes as quick as I could, and there was no safe maneuver available in my head over that short time frame.

---

I agree, only way to avoid was to not be there at all.

I think it's because your fenders got pushed back with the impact. However I'd think the front frame is damaged add well. They're designed to give

You are correct. New tires, new brakes, test facility, lowest recorded distance of who knows number of attempts. So yeah, absolute best case scenario.

Truck looks ****ed. Is that totaled? Or can you fix it up and dump it?

I was sitting still in a middle turn lane, driving a 2011 f150, and was hit head on by an older Silverado. He was going between 35-45. My airbags never deployed. It was a dead center hit at a 30* angle which bent the frame so bad it had to be replaced.

My wife, myself, and the hound in the back seat were fine, and I'm sure the airbags would have caused some damage, but it just made me question at what point do these things deploy?

cant tell from the vid, but wondering if he was texting & driving -- just kind of decided to not observe the red light

Insurance agent said since relatively new, low miles, and airbags didn't deploy, almost guaranteed they will fix.

I can't imagine it won't have gremlins after, so I'll probably dump it soon

So, with roughly 10,000 more miles on brakes and tires, it takes more than twice as long to stop?
