“Takata recall. Air bag light stays on all the time. Brought to dealer. Charged me $160 to tell me of a sensor pad malfunction and entire passenger seat would need to be replaced due to failure of srs system that would cost approx 1,900. I understand 2008 and 2010 models were recalled for this problem but not 2009. Why not??”

NHTSA complaint #11252732, filed 2019-09, 64,937 miles

“Takata recall my passanger seat belt light has been on for the pass 6 months. No accidents, car was stationary. I have no problems yet, but I read on other websites that this is a common problem I n the 2009 Nissan Rogue and that it is expensive to get fixed. If this is because of a manufacturer defect, I would like it fixed by a Nissan dealership for free.”

“The passenger side airbag indicator keeps on and the airbag light on the dashboard is flashing. We started noticing the issue in year 2015 and this has never been fixed. We hoped Nissan can fix the same issue as they recalled 2008 Nissan Rogue (08-095d).”

NHTSA complaint #11375920, filed 2020-11, 50,000 miles

“My 2009 Nissan Rogue has never been in an accident. Out of nowhere my passenger airbag light started to flash, I brought it in to my local mechanic who said that it was the airbag sensor underneath the passenger seat and that he was unable to do anything about it as it takes certain programming to make the airbags work appropriately. …”
