2008 Nissan Rogue

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR LIT UP FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE OCS SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A RECALL (08V521000). I CALLED THE RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10-2-13 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. WAS INFORMED THAT IN FACT, THE OCS HAD GONE BAD; BUT AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND WOULD COST $2819 TO FIX. I HAVE SINCE ESCALATED MY CASE TO THE REGIONAL LEVEL, GIVEN THAT MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES, WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, AND A SENSOR SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND THAT! I WAS TOLD BY THE REGIONAL OFFICE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT, AND THAT THEY WILL FURTHER RESEARCH MY SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS RECENTLY STARTED BLINKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE OCCUPANT PASSENGER SENSOR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000) BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE. THEN THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $3000 TO REPAIR!!! WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT AGREED TO DO ANYTHING. SINCE DAY ONE, THE PASSENGER SENSOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERRATIC AND OFTEN WOULD NOT WORK WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. WE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY NEVER AGREED TO FIX IT. NOW THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THE CAR IN NOT FUNCTIONING AND IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OCS UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. LATER THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH TO HONOR THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THE SAME. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. UPDATED 6/4/12 *CN

NHTSA PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED A RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROGUES FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR NOT CONNECTING PROPERLY WITH THE SRS, MAKING THE SRS INDICATOR FLASH AND RENDERING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG USELESS. I PURCHASED MY ROGUE USED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN THE PROBLEM AROSE, CHECKED YOUR DATABASE TO FIND IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS TELL ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. A BRIEF SEARCH ON GOOGLE HOPING TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THIS REPAIR WOULD COST, INDICATES THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ROGUE OWNER AFFECTED BY THIS. I WONDER IF THE RECALL WAS SUFFICIENTLY BROAD. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS MALFUNCTIONED ON ITS OWN, BUT WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE. *TR
