2008 Nissan Rogue

This happened a few years ago. I would always place my purse on the passenger seat when driving. The air bag deactivation sensor would be tripped due to a lightweight item being placed on the passenger seat. One day, approximately 4 years ago, I noticed the light warning that it was deactivating would not turn off. After a couple of months of this still being on, I took it into Coggin Nissan at the Avenues of Jacksonville. As I was getting signed in to the service department, they quoted me $150 just to look at the car. I recounted that it is an obvious safety hazard, as the air bags are involved, and there was a recall for the 2008 Rogue for that very issue. I asked for my car back and left. Then called to place a complaint. Nothing came of it, as the car was our second vehicle, and it is rarely driven. The car was purchased late in 2007, as a flagship Rogue. It has 125,000 miles, and should be able to be driven more often, especially when we have family visiting, but it sits unused except for little jaunts in the neighborhood, or if there is no other recourse.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 5-10 MPH, she heard an abnormal intermittent banging sound coming from underneath the front end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the strut assembly needed replaced. The contact stated the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who test drove the vehicle but could not determine the cause of the failure. The mechanic performed a front-end alignment on the vehicle. The contact stated after the front-end alignment was completed, the abnormal banging sounds increased significantly. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the driver’s side front subframe was corroded and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

The TPMS lamp for tire pressure sensor, stays on. It appears there may have been a recall on this. I just made a complaint about the passenger airbag light showing it does not sense when a passenger inns in the front passenger seat with seatbelt fastened and car is running or driving. I just bought this car from a private party. Below is the picture of the lighted TPMS pressure sensor lamp.

The passenger airbag warning light shows the airbag will not engage when a passenger is in the front seat. I just bought this car used from a private party. The photograph below shows when the ignition is turned on and I am sitting in the front passenger seat with my seat belt on. The light never turns off when I’m a passenger or when I have a passenger in the front seat. I am afraid the airbag will not work in a front end collision.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the air bag warning light constantly flashed while driving. Additionally, the passenger’s side air bag warning light remained illuminated while passenger’s seat was occupied. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was then informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign number: 08V521000 (Air Bags, Electrical System). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000.

The transmission shudders, jerks, whines, roars loudly. Yes it’s available for inspection. I was driving up a hill with my grand children in the car, and it started shuddering. Didn’t seem to be getting gas at all. The tank was full. Then it started rolling backwards down the hill. Needless to say my grand children were scared to death as I was also. No I haven’t spoken to anyone about the problem, as I don’t know who to talk to? Nobody has looked at it yet. I figured the transmission went, so I haven’t bothere$ with reaching out, until a friend told me hers did the exact same thing. So we looked it up. Yes it seemed to be shuddering before but never lost power and rolled backwards. There were no warning lights, or signs of it quitting. There was no acceleration at all. Just slowly lost power. It was still running but when you push the gas pedal you got nothing. Not even the reving of the motor!03/29
