Example complaints

“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“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11374507, filed 2020-11, 45,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10865058, filed 2016-05, 88,749 miles“My wife and I leased a 2008 Nissan rouge two years ago. An issue has since transpired. In october of 2009 we noticed that the passenger airbag light occasionally goes on regardless of the size of the person sitting there. This light indicates that the airbag is off. We took it to Nissan and they could not duplicate the problem. Over this last year the issue continues to arise. I decided to take the vehicle in this past monday with a routine check. …”
NHTSA complaint #10357378, filed 2010-09, 15,500 miles“While driving approx. 40 MPH the passenger seat light came on indicating seat air bags would not engage. This occurred while a 150 lb. Person was sitting in the passenger seat. A light red indicator light also came on on the dash and it was blinking. Both of these lights have continued every time we use the car whether someone is sitting in the passenger seat or not. After seeing there was a recall on the 2008 ocs from Nissan, I took the car to our local Nissan dealer and they said our VIN number was not included in the recall. Why not, how did they determine that. …”
