2008 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCS SENSOR AND AIR PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS AIR BAG ICON FLASHING ON THE DASH BOARD IN RED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS A RECALL REPORTED BACK IN OCTOBER 2008. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER, 2008 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS RECALL DOES NOT POP UP BASED ON MY VIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL REPAIR MAN SAID IN ORDER TO FIX THIS, I HAVE TO CHANGE WHOLE SEAT WHICH COULD COST ME ABOUT $2000. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE THIS ISSUE. I AM SURE ANY SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSANUSA. IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING AND KILLED BY THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT POP UP, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD NEVER GO TO ON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BEING THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY- EVER- BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EVER SENSE SOMEONE SITTING THERE. THERE WAS A RECALL OF MY EXACT MAKE AND MODEL BUT OF COURSE NOT MY VIN#. NOW, THE STATE OF HAWAII WILL NOT LET ME PASS MY SAFETY INSPECTION- BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY WELL OF THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. SO I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION- TO THE TUNE OF OVER $2000! I WROTE TO NISSAN CORPORATE WHO BASICALLY TOLD ME TO SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING. THIS IS A JOKE & I AM CERTAIN WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE SINCE MY STATE HAS DEEMED IT UNSAFE- OR MY OTHER OPTION IS TO PAY 1/3 OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS ALREADY KNOWN & THERE ARE 100S OF COMPLAINTS. I HOPE YOU GUYS MOVE THIS ALONG BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO MAKE A CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE, PAY OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT, OR PAY IT OFF AND JUNK THE CAR, SINCE I CANNOT SELL AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WON'T PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION. NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE EXACTLY GREAT FOR ME. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS & SEEMS MORE LIKE A WAY FOR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO INCREASE PROFITS. I HOPE YOU MOVE QUICKLY ON THIS BEFORE INNOCENT LIVES ARE TAKEN BY A KNOWN FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. NOT TO MENTION, I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO EITHER PAY THE $2000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR TO JUNK MY CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY PENALTIES! I'M GLAD MY OWN STATE CAN SEEM THIS COMPLETELY UNSAFE BUT NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED? WHAT IF I FIX IT- WILL I BE REIMBURSED IF THERE FINALLY IS A RECALL? THIS HAS PUT ME IN SUCH A TERRIBLE PLACE! PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY FLASHING. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. UPDATED 08/17/16*LJ THE CONSUMER WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $ 1800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHEN A PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE RESULTS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING NISSAN REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION IN MY ROGUE SINCE THEY INSPECTED IT IN 2015. THEY HAVE REFUSED. NOW I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, AIR BAG OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS), AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED AND DO NOT SEE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS!!!!! I NEEDS MY SEAT CUSHION REPLACED, OR THE AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN A COLLISION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT SPIRAL CORD REEL AND AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,562.

I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE AIRBAG, OR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, FIXED. AFTER OWNING THE ROGUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ( I BOUGHT IT NEW), THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING IN THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HUNDRED (I RECALL IT BEING OVER $500, BUT IT'S SO LONG AGO I MAY BE WRONG)TO FIX IT. I THOUGHT THAT TOO MUCH, BUT WHEN THE TAKATA RECALLS BEGAN, AND PEOPLE BEGAN TO DIE, I BECAME MORE CONCERNED. I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY HOT AND HUMID. THE REALITY IS EITHER THE SENSOR OR THE AIRBAG HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY FROM NEARLY THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT'S OBVIOUSLY FAULTY, AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX IT.
