1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2020

1 owner car. Mileage 80,000. Air bag lights came on by seat and on dash even when an adult is sitting in passenger seat when ignition is on. Took to dealership and was told entire seat must be replaced because of the sensor at a cost of $3000. This a safety issue that has been reported by many people. This a manufacturing defect. They kept putting this part in even after they starting failing in 2008, 2009, 2010 models. We are required for this to work to get our cars inspected. That is half the value of the car. The entire seat must be replaced??!!?? I don't know if the bag will deploy or not if there is an accident. How long until the other one fails.

"takata recall"my 2011 Nissan Rogue airbag light started blinking while driving to work in my local area. It continues to blink while car idles as well. I had it looked at that afternoon at garage. They said problem in driver side airbag not working. Confused as this is a safety feature factory installed and yet I as the consumer must maintain faulty safety equipment as well as daily maintenance to this vehicle. Just spent 2000. 00 dollars at Nissan getting all maintenance required done. Now this too.

3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2018

Bumped into a large curb on the passenger side hit right at the passenger front door that is when the air bag light came on. Took it to Nissan dealer to be checked was just reset the first time 4 days later came back on took it back was put through a diagnostic screening again was told it was showing the OCS unit was malfunctioning. Told me that it needed to be replaced which was in bottom of seat. My question is how could something like that get damaged if it is in the bottom of the seat when hardly anyone ever rides in that seat. I was going 5 miles per hr. When I hit curb.

4 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2018

I am currently driving a 2011 Nissan Rogue. Several days ago my airbag light started flashing. Middletown Nissan said this vehicle is not part of a recall. I was also told there were not any Nissan airbag recalls. According to what iresearched, this is not true. My concerns are my safety and the idea of paying for a repair that may be part of a recall please advise me. This is the sixth Nissan vehicle I have driven:a very loyal customer.

5 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2017

The air bag light remains on . . The driver side door lock actuator actuator keeps buzzing.

6 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2017

On my way to work a little over a month ago, my airbag light began to flash. At first I thought that maybe it was flashing because my work bag was on the passenger seat. I later took the bag off and placed it on the floor to see if it would go away but it did not. I also had someone check the wire connections under both the driver and passenger seats to make sure that the wires were not loose and they are not. At this point I am not sure what else to do because I contacted Nissan and I'm not making any progress. The airbag light constantly flashes whether stationary or in motion.

7 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/04/2017

Passenger air bag light has come on and stayed on--without anyone or thing in the passenger seat. Dealer says that must mean the passenger airbag is deactivated. Contacted Nissan--they say it will cost $2100 to fix. They want us to pay $700 of that--since the car is 5 years old. It has 83,000 miles on it. Since airbags are a federally mandated safety feature, I would think that Nissan should pay all of the cost of this fix.

10 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2013

The passenger airbag light turns on and the airbag shuts off while a person is sitting in the seat and the car is in motion. This happened at 50,000 miles and Nissan replaced the seat. It happened again at 79,000 and Nissan will not fix the problem. The dealership turned off the blinking light but again when a person sat in the seat the airbag turned off again. I was told that they are not sure if the airbag is working. I have an extended warranty (100,000 miles) but they still refuse to fix the problem. This is the same problem that Nissan has recalled older and newer models of the Rogue. I did research on-line and this is an ongoing problem with Rogues and other Nissan vehicle. This should be a recall item for the safety of passengers because for no reason the airbag malfunctions during use and where it is safe to pull over. I called the Nissan complaint department and they told me I should be happy because other people have this problem and it occurs more frequently. I'm not happy or impressed, still no recall. Please help there are citizens that have this problem and Nissan is ignoring us.
