Illusionist Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 So i was on my way home from school and this lady pulls right out in front of me and practically stops in the middle of the road. I slam my breaks hard but get her right between the tires driving her passenger side in 18 inches. She wasn't wearing her seat belt and had supposedly serious injuries, but none visible that i could tell. They took her away on a stretcher and she also had no insurance. This was a week ago and the police have yet to complete an accident report so i'm stuck without a car, which sucks. Check out the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoi408 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Ouch... Thats really crappy. My friend just flipped his car. Hope you get all that taken care of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusionist Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 yeah it's been a rough week! I'm hoping they will total my car and give me around $5,000 back. i saw a 94 pathy in the paper listed with a lift, winch, air lockers, etc. for 4k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Wow that really sucks, glad your ok... you are ok right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Ouch...that's no fun at all. Side impacts are the worst kind of impacts for occupants. Since you had to be involved, I'm glad you had to be on the giving end of it, not the receiving end. Hope everything works out for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusionist Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yeah i'm fine, i wasn't hurt at all... Had my air bags deployed i probably would have been banged up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Air what?!?!? You drive a WD21 Pathfinder, don't believe there is such an animal with airbags. Glad to hear (read) that you're alright. Edited April 11, 2007 by Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 Pathy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Simon! Yes, they do have airbags. My '94 SE has one. Just drivers side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) I know my 95 does not. Are you 100% sure? Any 94-95 Pathy's I've ever seen do not have any air bags. Not to mention, there is no mention of air bags, air bag sensors, or an air bag computer in the Factory service manual. I'd be curious to see a pic of your steering wheel to see if it's the same as mine. Edited April 11, 2007 by Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 i am nearly 100% sure ours do not have airbags.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishpath95 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 '95, no airbags of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grie78 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 no air bags in mine, either. that sucks, glad you're ok. good luck, hope it works out in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govols74n Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Glad you are ok, and the Pathy held up great (considering)..... No air bags/nor are they mentioned in my manuals either....yes, the steering wheel looks like it has an airbag, but if you notice, anywhere you push, the horn goes off.....it's not an airbag, just a horn....lol.

Precise1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 LOL, airbag or windbag? Airbag would be in the steering wheel, windbag would be holding the steering wheel... JK!! Sorry about the accident. Glad you are ok and I hope she is also. As for no police report, I'd be raising hell !!! I'd say your pathy is totaled (frame bent), do you have uninsured motorist coverage??

McClurgM Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Good to read that you are OK!! Hope you get a fat insurance check so that you can get back on the road!. I would be pretty mad about the lack of the police report! -argue- Good luck! Matthew P.S. No airbag on the '92 SE Edited April 11, 2007 by McClurgM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 No, I think they come equipped with a "barf bag" ya know, so you have something to puke in after you realize what has happened to your pathy LOL... Sorry to hear about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusionist Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 i don't have uninsured motorist coverage but i was not at fault in the accident so the lady is taking al the fault and my insurance company is suing her for the damage. I'm kind of hoping it is totaled because i only paid 2k for it and i should get back what it's worth probably around 3 to 4k! i guess my '95 didn't have airbags, so yeah! But i was also surprised at how little my pathy was damaged compared to her car! I called today about the police report and it still wasn't ready, so i'm going to go down there tomorrow and figure out what's going on with it.

packie88 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 my 94 se has airbags and i have two round sensors right behind the bumper, i was about maybe 1/10th of an inch from seting mine off in my accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 wtf...are you serious? those round things behind my bumper supports is the horn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 my 94 se has airbags and i have two round sensors right behind the bumper, i was about maybe 1/10th of an inch from seting mine off in my accident I would like to see where on your steering wheel or dash, either of them is marked SRS (Supplemental restraint system) Sorry, dude, I don't think you have air bags.

GrimGreg Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 wtf...are you serious? those round things behind my bumper supports is the horn... :contract: First Pathys with airbags were the R50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packie88 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ill take a picture im pretty sure it does though. also if you check slicks write up about installing a grant steering wheel, she mentions that 94's and up have airbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 well maybe slick was mistaken. because i have seen pathfinders that are wrecked in wrecking yards, and i dont see where the airbag has deployed sorry man, pull off your steering wheel cover, and all you will see is some metal and the horn....

RedPath88 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 There should be an external indication of an airbag being there, if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
