The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the air bag light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the OCS unit would need to be replaced. Later the contact was informed of a recall for NHTSA campaign number: 08v521000 (air bags , electrical system) but the dealer stated that the mileage was too high to honor the recall. The manufacturer was notified who stated the same. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 112,000.
The airbag light is flashing in the console. I failed inspection because of that.
2008 Nissan Rogue air bag indicator light. Dealership says passenger side occupant sensor is bad. Currently not covered by any recall.
Nhtsa previously conducted a recall on 2008 Nissan Rogues for problems with the passenger seat sensor not connecting properly with the srs, making the srs indicator flash and rendering the passenger airbag useless. I purchased my Rogue used a little over a year ago, and when the problem arose, checked your database to find if there was a recall. The Nissan customer service folks tell me that my VIN is not associated with the recall. A brief search on google hoping to help me figure out how much this repair would cost, indicates that I am not the only Rogue owner affected by this. I wonder if the recall was sufficiently broad. It is possible that this malfunctioned on its own, but wanted to make you aware.
I purchase my 2008 Nissan Rogue brand new and 4 years after I purchase my vehicle the airbag light came on and is still on today as well as my seat belt light. My car has not been misused or abused and the airbag should last for the life of the car. There was a recall campaign bulletin for 2007-2009 for the passenger air bag occupant classification system ref# ntb08-095a that included the 2008 Nissan Rogue and a list of other cars, but when I took this issue to the dealer I was informed that my car was'nt selected for a recall. I'm a very safe driver so I have'nt had any accidents but I I'm in fear that in the event of an accident my airbag will not work due to the manufactures defect in making these vehicle.
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. Prior to my dropping the vehicle off I decided to record it on my phone as we were driving seeing as though I could not bring the car to the dealership as soon as it was happening. After the car was there for a few hours, I got a call back saying that there is nothing wrong with the car and they are ready to release. I am still not comfortable driving the vehicle so I left it there and call customer affairs. Finally after 4 days, they returned my call. They indicated that they spoke to the shop and are not authorizing any repairs or paying for the rental vehicle as they could not duplicate the problem. They are refusing to fix this issue and are saying that my 125 lb wife may be too light to activate the bag sensor.
