1.Frame bracket has rusted out and dealer only sells whole frame. VERY EXPENSIVE *It is obviously an issue which has not been addressed but has been *noted on internet. (went after market to repair still at $775!) 2. Airbags system light now on and was on recall in the past. Dealer will only look at it for $100. * Noted on internet as a continuous issue for some. 3. Cruise Control on past recall. Has not functioned since dealer fixed in recall. *Still turns on by itself and will not go off unless I turn vehicle off. **Definite safety issue** 4. Parking brake not functioning properly was also on recall. If I use it then it will not release all the way and continues to drag. USELESS. Have had repaired 2 times by mechanic since recall. 5. Transmission replaced on SILENT recall with extended warranty. Had issues from almost the start. WHY would I purchase another Nissan of any type? Vehicle 2008 Nissan Rogue is 13 1/2 years old with only 76,000 miles. No way should it have these issues. It has never been in an accident! I love the vehicle but not these issues. I will be replacing this vehicle in the future with a competitor.

This happened a few years ago. I would always place my purse on the passenger seat when driving. The air bag deactivation sensor would be tripped due to a lightweight item being placed on the passenger seat. One day, approximately 4 years ago, I noticed the light warning that it was deactivating would not turn off. After a couple of months of this still being on, I took it into Coggin Nissan at the Avenues of Jacksonville. As I was getting signed in to the service department, they quoted me $150 just to look at the car. I recounted that it is an obvious safety hazard, as the air bags are involved, and there was a recall for the 2008 Rogue for that very issue. I asked for my car back and left. Then called to place a complaint. Nothing came of it, as the car was our second vehicle, and it is rarely driven. The car was purchased late in 2007, as a flagship Rogue. It has 125,000 miles, and should be able to be driven more often, especially when we have family visiting, but it sits unused except for little jaunts in the neighborhood, or if there is no other recourse.
The passenger airbag warning light shows the airbag will not engage when a passenger is in the front seat. I just bought this car used from a private party. The photograph below shows when the ignition is turned on and I am sitting in the front passenger seat with my seat belt on. The light never turns off when I’m a passenger or when I have a passenger in the front seat. I am afraid the airbag will not work in a front end collision.

The airbag started to flash and it won't go away. I know that this model has a recalled on that problem, and I'd like to hear what can I do to fix it. Thank you!
I purchased my nissan rogue in 2010. Immediately after purchasing it a red warning light displayed on the dash indicating an airbag problem. A mechanic diagnosed the problem as the airbag sensor in the front passenger seat that determines if someone is seated there or not. I was unable to afford a new sensor. I checked the federal safety agency recalls and located recall# 08v521000. While this sounds like the problem my nissan rogue is experiencing, per my VIN, my car is not included in the recall.
Airbag warning light flashing and passenger airbag disengaged light on when driving short distance with a passenger. There is a recall ntb08-95 but nissan tells me it does not include my production run. But my car is demonstrating this problem just as described in recall. Recall should be expanded to include my production run. Brought to nissan dealer 10-27-20, it will cost $3200.00 to replace passenger seat cushion just as described in recall campaign.

I purchase my 2008 nissan rogue brand new and 4 years after I purchase my vehicle the airbag light came on and is still on today as well as my seat belt light. My car has not been misused or abused and the airbag should last for the life of the car. There was a recall campaign bulletin for 2007-2009 for the passenger air bag occupant classification system ref# ntb08-095a that included the 2008 nissan rogue and a list of other cars, but when I took this issue to the dealer I was informed that my car was'nt selected for a recall. I'm a very safe driver so I have'nt had any accidents but I I'm in fear that in the event of an accident my airbag will not work due to the manufactures defect in making these vehicle.

Passenger air bag sensor stopped working disabling the passenger air bag.

Air bag indicator on dash flashing. Fault indicates that the passenger seat has a faulty seat cushion sensor. Dealer stated that owner has to pay $2,000 to repair.

My car will start, slowing down while I am driving. I called nissan on several things concerning this car. Nissan has not had a recall on their 2008-2010 rogue yet. 2008 is the 1st generation of this vehicle. I have had engine cradle problems, control arm problems. These car makers need to be held accountable for their product.
