The airbag light on the dash started flashing indication something has a malfunction and the light showing passenger airbag is off. The vehicle was taken to Larry Miller Nissan for a $176 diagnostic. They related the passenger sensor for the airbag had failed in the seat cushion and the airbag would not deploy in an accident to protect the passenger. They said $2,526.69 is the cost to fix the problem. This is obviously a safety issue and should be corrected by the manufacturer. This started approximately 10 days ago. The vehicle was taken in on the earliest date available. Is the manufacturer responsible for making sure the airbags function properly in the event of an accident? Thank you

2010 Nissan Rogue SW pre-owned certified on 2/24/2012; Mileage: 13,403. Purchased SECURITY+PLUS service Warranty. The summer of 2014 Rogue started a whining noise going up hills or under a light load. There was no other indication from the vehicle that it was under distress, no warning lights appeared etc. Dealership mechanic test drove and confirmed the CVT was failing. 6/13/2014; Mileage 44228 per Warranty, installed: "1-Transaxle Assy; 1-Trans Exchange Expense; 5- NS-2 CVT TRANMI; 1Tranmission CO; 1 Cooler Kit-AUTO." "Certified concern, per Tech Line replaced CVT Transmission Assembly, Programmed TCM, Installed Transmission cooler, operates per design." The CVT was flushed and cleaned on 6/06/2018 at 78,882 by same dealership. Miles since new CVT was replaced 44228 - 78882 = 34654 June 24, 2021 upon returning from a trip the car was not shifting properly. At starting of an intersection the VOC light flashes and came on, and the car hardly would go across the intersection with the gas pedal pushed to floor. There were times gear shifting would rev and not shift smoothly. It was dangerous doing only 55mph in a 75 mph on I-10 returning. On July 22, 2021; Mileage 92762; took to dealership for digonostic; they reported: "caused by check codes and A/B counts no code present. Transmission has B counts recommend transmission replacement." "CVT Assembly $4890; front lower control arms if done at time of CVT $650 & drive belt $180.". And, of course, they informed me that the Warranty expired 1 year to the month. However,it is my understanding that 2010 Rogue were given an extended 10 year warranty/150k. My Warrenty book indicates differently. I believe Nissan's Warranty on my specific vehicle is misleading and needs reviewed. And may be considered fraudelant. A 2010 Nissan Rogue has less than 94,000 miles 1 CVT replaced prematurely now requiring another new CVT transmission replaced. North America Nissan denied asst beyond warranty

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO MECHANIC WHO RESET IT, RAN CODE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNIT IN PASSENGER SEAT WAS THE CODE IT WAS THROWING. TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT SENDING THE RIGHT SIGNAL TO THE AIRBAG. TO FIX THE PROBLEM IT WOULD COST ME $2500.00 TO GET A BRAND NEW SEAT WITH THE OCS UNIT. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT STOP FLASHING AND RESETTING IT DOES NO GOOD. I NOW HAVE NO AIRBAG FOR PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THESE VEHICLES HAD RECALLS ON THIS SYSTEM FOR THE YEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLES FROM 2008 TO 2016 WITH THESE SYTEMS WERE AFFECTED. VEHICLES WITH VIN NUMBERS JN8AS5.....I CHECKED FOR A RECALL ON MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE AND FOUND NONE, YET I AM READING THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON 2010. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY HASN'T SOMEONE ADDRESSED THIS SAFETY ISSUE?? IT WILL COST ME $2500.00 TO FIX THIS AND IF I DO NOT FIX THIS MY CAR WILL BE WORTH CONSIDERABLY LESS. I STILL OWE $5,000.00!!! I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED. THIS HAPPENED AT AROUND 105000 MILES. NO ACCIDENT OR LARGE BUMP, ALL ON ITS' OWN.
