2010 Nissan Rogue

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY NISSAN ROGUE IN FOR INSPECTION ON NOV. 30, 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE REJECTED FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I THEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $250 TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THAT WOULD BE I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT DOES MY SERVICE AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT NISSAN HAD STATED TO THEM THAT IT WAS ON RECALL. I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED SINCE THAT WAS NEVER STATED TO ME WHEN I WAS THERE. SO I RETURNED TO NISSAN AND THEN WAS TOLD NO SORRY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A RECALLED ITEM ON MILLIONS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, IT WAS NOT ON MY VEHICLES. IT WOULD BE $2300 JUST FOR THE PART TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WAS BEING TOLD TO ME. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. AND WAS TOLD AFTER SEVERAL CALLS THAT SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANTY ANY LONGER THAT THE "RECALLED ITEM" WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I AM TRULY CONFUSED IT A KNOWN ITEM IS RECALLED ON MILLIONS OF VEHICLES I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS NOT ON MY VEHICLE. I KNOW IF AN ITEM IS RECALLED AND KNOWN TO BE FAULTY HOW CAN THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY WE CAN'T REPAIR IT UNLESS YOU PAY ABOUT $3000. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL PERSONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I REALLY NEED YOU TO HELP WITH THIS. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN JUST DISREGARD THIS. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER.

THE STEERING COLUMN COIL FAILED, CAUSING AIR BAG TO BECOME FAULTY AND POWER STEERING TO FAIL. ABILITY OF THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THEN, AFTER "REPAIRING" THE STEERING COLUMN COIL, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS RELATED ISSUE. THESE ISSUES IMPACT ABILITY OF DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, ABILITY TO TURN AND STEER.

WE TRAVEL TO ORLANDO WHICH IS A 3 HOUR DRIVE WE GO 4 TIMES A YEAR AND THE ROGUE FAILS ON US AT LEAST 4 TIMES EVERY TRIP. AFTER AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY ARE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE WE GO FROM 80 TO 60 AND CAR FEELS LIKE IT STRUGGLES WITH THE PEDEL TO THE FLOOR. ALSO WHEN THE AC IS ON AND WE ARE AT A LIGHT THE CAR TRYS TO STALL. AND THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE ANYONE IN THE SEAT AND THE ONE ON THE DASH JUST BLINKS. I'M AFRAID THEY WON'T DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. FIRST AND LAST NISSIAN WILL EVER BUY. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION I THINK IS A DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN BIG HAZARD. WE HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS AND SAME PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COIL SPRING INSIDE THE AIR BAG INFLATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY'WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING WITH 175LB PASSENGER BUT YET WORKS WITH 30LB BAG PLACED ON SEAT. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND CAN HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 30,000 MILES IN JANUARY 2014. MOST OF THE TIME I DO NOT HAVE A PASSENGER BUT I'D LIKE THEM TO BE PROTECTED WHEN I DO.
