IllustrationTAKATA RECALL. AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. BROUGHT TO DEALER. CHARGED ME $160 TO TELL ME OF A SENSOR PAD MALFUNCTION AND ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE OF SRS SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST APPROX 1,900. I UNDERSTAND 2008 AND 2010 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT 2009. WHY NOT??

AIR BAG FAILURE - THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO NOT WORK (AS NOTED BY THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH AS WELL AS THE SECONDARY AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON NEAR THE GEAR SHIFTER). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF THE NISSAN ROGUE WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL (2008 AND 2010 WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE). AS A RESULT, IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO WORK AND TO REMAIN SAFE IN THE CAR WHEN DRIVING, IT REQUIRES A NEW PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THIS REPAIR COSTS GREATER THAN $2000 (PART AND LABOR).
TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON FOR THE PASSANGER SIDE AND IT WONT TURN OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $2000. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM THE LOOKS OF IT MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.
AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I WAS TOLD ITS A TAKATA AIRBAG, BUT IS NOT COVERED ON CURRENT RECALL. I NEED TO REPORT SO THAT IT CAN BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS.
TAKATA RECALL UPON START UP OF THE VEHICLE, THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS NOW FLASHING ON THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. DEALER HAS INFORMED ME IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $2000.00 FOR THE REPAIR. VEHICLE IS NOW RENDERED UNSAFE WITH DISABLED AIRBAGS.
