2008 Nissan Rogue airbags complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 129, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Takata recall there is air bag icon flashing on the dash board in red. I took it to my local repair shop and it looks like this was a recall reported back in october 2008. I purchased this car in november, 2008 and I am the original owner. I called local nissan dealer and they said this recall does not pop up based on my VIN and they will not do anything for this issue. My local repair man said in order to fix this, I have to change whole seat which could cost me about $2000. This is serious safety issue and local dealer does not want to take care this issue. I am sure any safety issue should be taken care of by nissanusa. If someone was driving and killed by the accident because the airbag did not pop up, what would you do then.
Just bought this car from the original owner, she stated that the dealership told her the flashing passenger airbag warning light on the dashboard was "no problem". Despite 2 efforts on her part to have this repaired, it continues to flash. Worried that the sensor will not activate the airbag in the event of accident.
My airbag light started flashing and when I had a passenger riding in the front seat, the airbag sensor would never go to on. This is a huge safety issue being this means the airbag will not deploy- ever- because it does not ever sense someone sitting there. There was a recall of my exact make and model but of course not my VIN#. Now, the state of hawaii will not let me pass my safety inspection- because they are very well of the safety concern of the airbag not deploying. So I take it to the dealership who tells me I have to replace the seat cushion- to the tune of over $2000! I wrote to nissan corporate who basically told me to shut up and stop complaining. This is a joke & I am certain we will just have to wait for someone to die before nissan is actually held responsible. Now I have a vehicle that I can no longer drive since my state has deemed it unsafe- or my other option is to pay 1/3 of what the car is worth to fix a problem that is already known & there are 100s of complaints. I hope you guys move this along because I still have to make a car payment on a car I cannot drive, pay over $2000 to replace the whole seat, or pay it off and junk the car, since I cannot sell an unsafe vehicle that won't pass a safety inspection. None of these options are exactly great for me. This is completely unfair to consumers & seems more like a way for nissan dealerships to increase profits. I hope you move quickly on this before innocent lives are taken by a known faulty airbag sensor. Not to mention, I only have 30 days to either pay the $2000 to fix the problem or to junk my car without having to pay penalties! I'm glad my own state can seem this completely unsafe but no recall has occurred? What if I fix it- will I be reimbursed if there finally is a recall? This has put me in such a terrible place! Please help!

The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the entire passenger seat sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000. Updated 08/17/16*lj the consumer was quoted a price of $ 1800. Also, the tire pressure gauge never worked properly. When the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, for the problem, they would simply overfill the tires, until the flashing sensor would go out.

I have been requesting nissan replace the seat cushion in my rogue since they inspected it in 2015. They have refused. Now I see there is a recall, air bag occupant classification system (ocs), and I have never been notified and do not see my vehicle in the recall notifications!!!!! I needs my seat cushion replaced, or the air bag sensor will not activate the airbag in a collision. I have been the only owner of this vehicle.

I have tried several times to get the airbag, or airbag warning light, fixed. After owning the rogue for a couple of years ( I bought it new), the airbag light began flashing in the car. When I took it to nissan, they said it was a faulty sensor in the seat and it would take several hundred (I recall it being over $500, but it's so long ago I may be wrong)to fix it. I thought that too much, but when the takata recalls began, and people began to die, I became more concerned. I live in hawaii, which is very hot and humid. The reality is either the sensor or the airbag has not worked properly from nearly the time I bought the car new. It's obviously faulty, and possibly dangerous. I feel the manufacturer should fix it.
Airbag warning light came on in car. I took the car to nissan they told me it was the sensor in the passenger seat cushion. They reset it and told me the airbag would deploy if the passenger had their seatbelt on. I had a passenger in the car with their seatbelt on and the warning light that states #2 passenger airbag is deactivated. Nissan had told be before they reset the sensor that it would cost $1000 to replace the cushion with the sensor in it. I dont know if I believe the car or nissan, will the airbag deploy or not. I dont have $1000 to replace cushion and when I contacted nissan they told me sorry your car is no longer under warranty and there is no recall out for this airbag. I dont feel safe driving a passenger in my car not knowing if the airbag will deploy or not. I do not want anyone getting hurt or worse. Is there anything I can do?
The current airbag fault is the exact same as the late model rogue seat cushion switch fault recall, but our model VIN is not included in the recall. We were stone walled at car pro's burien nissan in washington state. They were happy to offer a $2000 fix even though it happened after only 8k miles. We were appalled at their callous disregard for our safety especially since we bought it brand new. It was a little while before we were able to able to get it into the dealer due to heavy business travel at the time. Basically we have been forced to drive around a car without functioning airbags for years now while waiting for the recall to extend to our vehicle!
"takata recall" I bought a nissan rogue in 2008. Soon afterward the sensor went off to tells us the the passenger-side airbag was off. That light has stayed on ever since. About eight years ago, the airbag warning light began flashing. When I took it to nissan, the technician said the sensor in the seat was faulty, and it would cost over $500 to fix. I thought that was too much, and I thought it should be covered by the dealer, but they would not fix it. It's been broken/flashing ever since. When the recall for takata airbags began, I recognized that my car was suffering from the common complaints about faulty airbags, and since people were dying I was concerned. I checked online and found that 2008 rogues were part of the recall, so I again took my car to nissan, but they said my particular car was not covered by the recall, though many 2008 rogues were. I then called the federal safety agency's vehicle hotline, and the person recommend I call a corporate nissan north american number (1‑800‑647‑7261). I talked to a nice woman who said she would turn in my complaint and someone would get back to me the next day. A man called and was again told that my rogue was not in the recall and that nissan, therefore, would not cover this problem. I'm particularly worried as I live in hawaii, which is very moist, and this seems to increase the risk of the airbag going off. Whether it's a takata aribag or not, this was clearly a faulty product, so I feel it should be fixed by the dealer.

My mother in law was driving on wednesday last at around 35 MPH. It was raining and for no apparent reason the side curtain airbags deployed. It was taken to the dealership and they told the insurance adjuster that this was due to a collision even though there was no collision. The car doesn't have a dent on it anywhere. The technician said that the underside of the car was "all beat up". Having been an ase certified mechanic, I don't recall any airbag sensors underneath the car. They are making her insurance pay to correct it.

While driving about 25mph the airbag light on the dashboard stated blinking and the light showing the passenger air bag is off stayed on. I took the vehicle in to kingston nissan for inspection and to diagnose the problem they said the ocs unit failed. And it need a ocs seat unit. I google this issue and saw that it was a recall for this vehicle. I contacted nissan co sumer affairs filed a claim and they said they said they will not replace the part. Nissan dealer is charging me $1691 to replace the seat.
Airbag lights won't turn off. Also vehicle loses power in middle of intersection sometimes...consumer email reply on 9/3/2015: "it hasn't been diagnosed yet. The airbag light blinks off and on and passenger side airbag doesn't work"....updated 09/22/15
The federal safety agency campaign id 08v5210000 was issued recalling the 2008 nissan rogue for a faulty airbag sensor. Why when I own a 2008 rogue, and the dealer has confirmed the ocs control unit faulty & now has failed, is nissan not responsible for replacing it at their cost? They tell me it is because only a certain supplier was recalled even though they know the same part is the one that is faulty in my 2008 rogue. This is a very serious issue and it was recalled on my make & model but because my VIN # was not included in the recall (I.e. Not enough people complained), they refuse to offer any financial assistance to fix this issue. I have a 16 year old daughter who rides in the passenger seat for 50 miles to/from school everyday. This repair is $2500! It is a faulty part & nissan needs to be held responsible for replacing all parts that are deemed faulty and fail. I informed nissan that (heaven forbid) if I get into an accident & my daughter flies out the front windshield because of a faulty airbag sensor, you better believe it is on record & a lawsuit will be filed. Nissan is fully aware of this issue, as is your organization. But unfortunately you limit these recalls for the benefit of the big corporations instead of the safety of the people.
Air bag light started blinking out of nowhere. Didn't think much of it because my sentra did this before too, but stopped. Finally brought it in because it wasn't going off and told by mechanic that there is a short in the spiral cable that will not deploy air bag. Electrical shorts can also cause fires. Nissan is refusing to fix it because it is not a current recall and we are just past warranty now - even though it started pre-expiration. This is not an issue affected by maintenance or anything we could've done wrong. It causes a safety issue in terms of fire and air bag deployment. Additionally, I was able to see many people with the same problem on the web. Unfortunately, they are all using a trick to get the light off, not realizing the air bag will not deploy if in an accident or car can start on fire.
The airbag light on dashboard came on. I have tried to reset a few times but it will not reset. Dealer wanted $130 to diagnose even though this problem occurred right after I had them fix another recall. Don't know if related or not. Dealer claims it isn't. Email reply from the consumer (sept 2, 2015): "I didn't repair it. The horn did not work but I sold the car."...updated 09/22/15 *bf the consumer has since sold the vehicle. Updated 10/01/15

Shortly after purchasing a used 2008 nissan rogue the airbag light came on. From researching the matter online, it seems that many 2007-2008 nissan vehicles were recalled for a faulty sensor in the passenger seat that cannot detect when anyone is sitting in that seat - in other words, not an issue with the airbag but with the seat sensor. However, the dealership we purchased the used vehicle from says our VIN number is not included in this recall, although our issue matches what is described in the recall and pertains to our year vehicle.
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 nissan rogue. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact mentioned that the air bag warning light continuously illuminated. The contact did not disclose if a police report was filed or not. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 08v521000( air bags). The failure mileage was 100,000.
Airbag dash light started flashing within 5 seconds of a strange pop/crack sound that came from the dash area. Local nissan dealer currently has the car, and has informed me that the airbag control module is bad. The estimated cost of the replacement with labor is over $1,100.
2008 nissan rogue airbag dashboard light signaled there was a problem on the dashboard. Dealer (nissan chesapeake, located in chesapeake, va) stated the airbag diode was completely defective and the airbags could no longer deploy. Since the car had 62,300 miles on it, nissan would not offer any warranty or financial assistance on the $1,400.00 bill to replace the diode. Dealer customer service representative was embarrassed that such a part was defective at such low mileage.

As reported by many other 2008 nissan rogue owners, the passenger side airbag sensor light was flashing, indicating a non-functional airbag (the entire airbag system, driver's side included, we found out later). This particular vehicle was not one of the 200,000+ vehicles recalled (08v521000) for the very same issue with the ocs (occupant classification system). The only fix, according to the dealer (and the subsequent multiple calls to nissan consumer affairs), is to replace the entire passenger side seat. This is a safety issue because: 1) the passenger side sensor disables the entire airbag system, and 2) a very expensive fix ($1800-$2500) is required for a safety system sensor. In light of the nearly 1 million nissan vehicles recently recalled (2014) for the exact same issue,the recall really should have applied not only to those initial 200,000+ vehicles, but all those vehicles with the same sensor system that they still have not gotten right. This is poor engineering at it's best!
