Example complaints

“I own a 2009 Nissan Rogue with 44,000 miles on it. About 3 weeks ago my driver's seat wouldn't open from the outside, and about a week ago the same thing happened with the passenger seat. I am now obligated to enter my car through the back seat. I did my research and found that this has been happening to many rogues and there are even recalls on some model years (except for mine of course). The service department at the hudson Nissan on route 440 in jersey city, nj want to charge me $130.00 just to take the door apart to see what the issue is. Needless to say I did not agree with the price. …”
NHTSA complaint #10559017, filed 2014-01, 44,000 miles“Passenger side airbag light stays on. Reset by dealer, and back on within a day or two. Dealer now says they have traced this back to a faulty sensor in the seat cushion, and the cost of the part alone is over $2000.00 this is a major safety issue, there a numerous complaints on here for various years of rogues. And that is just from the people who have taken the time to voice concern.”
NHTSA complaint #11256180, filed 2019-09, 112,000 miles“I have the srs light constantly on and was diagnosed that the occupant seat sensor is bad and need replacement. This device stop the passenger seat air bag from deploying even if there is an occupant, so they are at risk. Don't understand why users need to pay out of pocket for a safety device that should work. 2008 Nissan Rogue was recalled, so why other year aren't if the problem is not solved.”
NHTSA complaint #11287257, filed 2019-12, 92,000 miles“Blinking airbag light on dashboard. Took it to the dealer they charged $115 for inspection and said that passenger seat cushion needs to be changed which has ocs sensor built in, which would cost additional $1965. This is a common problem with all Nissan Rogue 2009 and the company must recall to resolve this as if the airbags do not deploy in case of accident it could cause serious injuries or death”
NHTSA complaint #11244565, filed 2019-08, 180,000 miles“Passenger air bag warning light is on constantly, gainesville Nissan (fl) charged over $100 to tell me the seat sensor is bad and $2,500 to fix it. 2008 and 2010 rogues are covered by recall, but not 2009. Will never buy Nissan again! Safety issue, they don't care if customers die.”
