“Takata recall. After the crash the airbag went out but not inflated. I was on a highway and because of a water bump the vehicle moves and crash with the highway division throwing the vehicle to the emergency lane and stoped inmediately. After that I removed very easy the airbag and walk away from the vehicle .seatbelts locked.”

“My 2009 Rogue air bag light came on and I took it to the dealership. They said it would be $2200 to fix and that if I was in a wreck the air bags may or may not work. I'm seeing a lot of people have this issue and it's a huge safety concern that Nissan needs to address. I will never buy another Nissan. The sensor that need to be replaced is in the car seat. Why was it designed like that??? Stupid!”

“Both front doors will not open from the outside after being exposed to freezing temperatures in our driveway overnight. Despite having only 44,000 miles on the odometer we were told by a Nissan rep that they would not repair the car. If we want the car fixed we were told by the Nissan dealer the cost would be about $700. Because the doors will not open from the outside it is a safety hazard in the event we were incapacitated inside the car,or a child were to get stuck inside the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #10837033, filed 2016-02, 44,000 miles

“On dec.30 2013 went to open front drivers side door and heard a pop and door would not open, had to crawl through passenger side to open door. The next day went to open passenger side door and same thing happened. I took off door panel and could see where the cables had come off. Took to the dealer and they said on both sides the cables had popped out of the latches. They charged me $500.00 to fix both doors. Happened again in march 2014 on passenger side.”
