2009 Nissan Rogue

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK INDICATING SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, THE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. RECALL REFERENCE #NTB08-095C SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT MY NISSAN ROGUE 2009 ( PRODUCED IN JAN 2009) AND THE AIR BAG MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA, SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND REPAIRED. THIS IS A PROBLEM, WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE ALSO POSTING ABOUT IT. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG CONTROL ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,978. UPDATED 09/18/15*LJ UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUED TO BLINK INDICATING SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, THE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. RECALL REFERENCE #NTB08-095C SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THAT MY NISSAN ROGUE 2009 ( PRODUCED IN NOV. 2008) AND THE AIR BAG MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA, SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND REPAIRED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATES "OFF" EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHING IN DASH. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ONE IN THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER SAFETY RECALL THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. IT WOULD BE A VERY SAD DAY WHEN SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT / CRASH AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY, POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN DEATH! *TR

MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. OUT OF NOWHERE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH, I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS IT TAKES CERTAIN PROGRAMMING TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS WORK APPROPRIATELY. I THEN BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $200 TO HOOK THEIR MACHINE US TO READ THE CODE TO EVEN BEGIN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS I'VE BEEN TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS REPORTED ON LINE TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN SPECIFICALLY ON THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO HOOK UP A MACHINE TO READ THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IN WHICH I HAD IN MY HAND. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE HAD NUMBERS BETWEEN $300 AND $2,000 BE QUOTED FOR THIS PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND ACCORDING TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SAID THEY PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED AT SOME POINT THEY CAME BACK AND REISSUED NEW COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME FORM THAT IT DOES HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HOW IS NISSAN NOT FIXING AN ISSUE THAT MAKES THEIR AIRBAGS DISFUNCTIONAL AND NOT DEPLOY? I GUESS IT TAKES SOME DEATH AND A LAWSUIT BEFORE IT WILL GET DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. UPDATED 5/12/15*CN

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WITH THIS CAR AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 2008 NISSAN ROUGE. THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN NOT WORKING AND THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY, SINCE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE, SINCE THEY KNOW THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL THE YEAR BEFORE. *TR

I AM WRITING TO ALERT THE NHTSA TO A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN NISSAN'S AIRBAG CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TO REGISTER MY DISSATISFACTION WITH HOW NISSAN NORTH AMERICA RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR A REMEDY. I PURCHASED THIS 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AWD AT AUCTION ON 3 JULY 2013. NISSAN'S LEASING ARM WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I NOTICED FROM THE OUTSET THAT THE LIGHT INDICATING THE STATUS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SOMETIMES SHOWED INACTIVE, EVEN WHEN AN ADULT WEIGHING OVER 50KG WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, AND BROWN'S FAIRFAX NISSAN WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE CONDITION WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A CHECK ON 13 JULY 2013. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY OF LATE, AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OCCASIONALLY SHOWS THAT IT IS ACTIVE, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. BROWN'S WANTED $128 TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM BUT, SINCE IT REMAINED INTERMITTENT, WAS NOT SURE ANYTHING WOULD COME OF THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. AT ABOUT THIS TIME, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ECM PROBLEM (BY THE WAY, THE VEHICLE INITIALLY FAILED EMISSIONS INSPECTION IN JULY OF 2013 WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION, BUT BROWN'S WAS ABLE TO GET A "PASS" READING). I ASKED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO AUTHORIZE BROWN'S TO CONDUCT A DIAGNOSIS OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF THE ECM REPAIR. NISSAN REFUSED. BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM REMAINS INTERMITTENT, I AM UNSURE HOW TO PROCEED. I DO NOT WISH TO PAY $128 SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPEATED "DIAGNOSIS", BUT CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IN CASE OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES MIGHT HAVE BEEN RECORDED. FOR NOW AND UNTIL THE PROBLEM BECOMES CONSISTENT, I WILL NOT CARRY FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL AIR BAG SENSORS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT HAVE BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR CONTINUALLY FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SPECIFIC AIR BAG PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP CLEARED A CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIR BAGS SENSORS. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RETURNED BACK TO FLASHING AND/OR STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ARE NOT WORKING AND THAT IT WILL COST $2,500 TO REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AIR BAG SYSTEMS BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2009 MODELS. I AM NOT PAYING $2,500 TO REPAIR SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
