2010 Nissan Rogue

BOTH LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHOWING THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT WORK IF THE ROGUE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE ROGUE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE CENSOR'S IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WERE NOT WORKING AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP CLEARED THE CODES AND RETESTED AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WENT OUT. THREE DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISE THAT THE CENSOR'S WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN TOOK THE ROGUE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I ADVISED THEM OF WHAT WAS DONE AT THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROPER PROCEDURE. I WAS ALSO ASK WHO RODE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHAT THEIR WEIGHT WAS. I ADVISED THEM MY WIFE RODE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT 99% OF THE TIME AND 126 LBS. WAS HER WEIGHT. I WAS THEN TOLD HER WEIGHT COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM? I NEEDED TO GET THE SYSTEM FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAULTY FRONT PASSENGER'S OCCUPANCY SENSOR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD ARRIVED HOME AT 3:30PM ON A SATURDAY. THE NEXT MORNING AT 10:00AM, I WENT TO MY CAR TO FIND THAT SOMETHING HAD EXPLODED INSIDE. THERE HAD BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FIRE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE, INCLUDING THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, THE DASH, AND THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG. MY BEST GUESS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED (NOT DEPLOYED), CAUSING A FIRE, WHICH DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND CAUSED A LOT OF COSMETIC DAMAGE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THE AIRBAG, OTHER THAN SOME SPRINGS, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT SIMPLY DEPLOYED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD COVER, NOT ME OR MY INSURANCE COMPANY. BUT I CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR HOW TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE DIRE WAS SELF-CONTAINED, AND THE ENTIRE CAR DIDN'T EXPLODE. *TR

AIRBAG SYSTEM GOES OFF (INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON) WHILE HAVING A PASSENGER WEIGHT ABOUT 115LB IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THE WEIGHT LIMIT FOR SENSOR TO COME ON IS AROUND 110LB. SERVICE PERSON SUGGESTED SHIFTING THE POSITION OR POSTURE OF THE PASSENGER WOULD RESOLVE. IT IS BAD IDEA TO HAVE YOUR LOVE ONES WHO IS ROUND 110 LB NOT TO BE ABLE TO SIT IN THE FRONT. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. *JS
