Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2017 Nissan Maxima

Airbags are off and i did not turn them off. i am concerned due to the recalls

My daughter parked my car outside at approx. 10:30 p.m. at 2:05 a.m, it ignited and exploded. my state farm investigator said it ignited due to abs actuator leaking brake fluid onto the circuit board. i called nissan because there was a recall for this but they claim my car was not included in the recall. i had recently purchased the vehicle and only had it like 20 days. car was totaled! *dt consumer stated former licensed construction contractor, and a certified fire investigator specializing in fire origin and cause investigation, and consultation. he already inspected my car and told me my car ignited and exploded because the abs actuator pump leaked brake fluid onto the internal circuit board which started the fire. *jb

I was driving on the interstate where it started to rain and i hydroplaned slightly, so i let off the gas and recovered to a stop. the side curtain airbags then deployed due to a "tilt angle" being sensed, while all four tires were still in contact with the ground. the vehicle had no impact, no tilt, and no damage to the vehicle. i was able to continue and drive the vehicle home with the airbags taped to the ceiling. the car was then subsequently driven to the dealership approximately 50 miles away with no issue. i submit the vehicle to nissan to analyze why the airbags deployed, and information was pulled from the edr. all i was told was the airbags deployed within an allowable time from a "tilt angle" being recorded. when questioned, the representative could not tell me how long that allowable timeframe was, why a tilt angle was recorded when all four tires were still in contact with the ground, and could not tell me if the sensors that send data to the edr were functioning correctly (but i could pay to have my own diagnostics run). also, according the the edr report, in the "pre-crash" information before the event occurred, it showed the vehicle had already come to a full stop prior to the event. i have had previous minor electrical issues with the vehicle related to the radio and mileage tracking resetting themselves, which i had related to nissan during the investigation, as well as the driver side automatic window falling open in the track when i shut the door. this investigation has taken two months, without any effort on nissan's part to contact me with any updates. the dealership was also told not to touch the vehicle to even think about repairs, during which time i am still expected to make payments on a vehicle i don't have in my possession.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 nissan maxima. while driving 25 mph, another vehicle crossed in front of the contact's vehicle. as a result, the contact crashed into the driver side of the other vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained injuries to the face and neck that required medical attention. a police report was filed. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 3,000. *bf *js
