Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11150735, filed 2018-11, 101,150 miles“Some 2008 Nissan rogues were recalled for the passenger seat airbag sensor not working and causing the entire airbag system not to work. This recall was not applied to my VIN but I have diagnosed through a Nissan dealership that I have the same issue. Nissan will not help to cover the costs of repair. Our passenger seat airbag sensor switched to off, will no longer turn on and our srs light is on.”
NHTSA complaint #11030418, filed 2017-09, 158,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11366816, filed 2020-10, 64,500 miles“The no occupant airbag light stays on even when an adult sits in the passenger seat and the airbag light consistently flashes when the key is in the ignition (engine on and off). There is currently a similar recall but I am told that my VIN is not part of the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11133648, filed 2018-10, 100,000 miles“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 NHTSA 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.”
