general problems of the 2015 Nissan Rogue - part 1

The driver's side curtain airbags deployed prematurely while shutting the driver's side door.

Airbag warning light on dashboard is blinking. After troubleshooting and running Nissan diagnostics, Nissan dealer repair technicians cannot determine which airbag sensor has failed or in question. Potential risk is unknown.

It started when I purchased it in February 2025 mileage was 99200 I noticed the seatbelt warning signs didn’t ding if I didn’t have my seatbelt on. And the sunroof not only was leaking but it is coming apart where it is held in place I’m afraid it will suddenly come down and strike me without notice while driving. Theee days ago I noticed the airbag light came on while I had the driver assist engaged so I stopped and turned the driver assistance light on and then off which caused the airbag light to turn off . But today with 1100 miles on the vehicle I was driving and the light. Came on as I was driving again. I tried turning off the drivers assistance button but the light stays on!!! I’m concerned about the safety while driving with the airbag light, the seatbelt not signaling when the seatbelt is not on it ding to remind me that someone doesn’t have their seat belt on. At lastly , I believe that I am going to be injured by the sunroof motor fulling down while I am driving causing a car wreck and or injuring me or a passenger. The OCS system in the 2015 model needs to be fixed before serious injury occurs.

My car's driver side air bag sign is on and took it to the Nissan dealer for diagnostic and was told the car seatback needs to be replaced as the airbag is not working. The technician was surprised that this part of the car needed replacement. This car has clean title no accidents and one owner. Contacted Nissan consumer affairs but they would not help in this issue. The component was never inspected just a diagnostic was done.

Airbag warning lights consistently flashing on and off. I was told it was a seat belt sensor or issue. Safety related. I know you have other Rogues are on the recall list fir this same year however mine does not come up. This us so frustrating as to the rates your dealerships charge. Please advise on the highly safety issue. I want to feel safe in my SUV again.

Airbag warning light for front passenger seat on permenently.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light was illuminated and blinking. The contact called the independent mechanic where the vehicle was purchased and was informed that the vehicle needed to be serviced. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the air bags were missing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 113,615.

I got into a car accident where the airbags didn't go off. I have the airbag light now on in the car and the diagnostics is something with the transmission.

Airbag warning on dash display. Driver side airbag dtc, replaced airbag and clock spring from Nissan oem at local shop.

The airbag sensor warning light remains constantly on once the car has been started. Yes the vehicle is available for inspection. I have taken it to the local dealership for repair and after 2 different visits have told me that they don't know exactly what is wrong and that I need to come back and pay another $1600 after the original $600 I already spent to have 2 different parts replaced and they will next replace two others and hope it solves the problem. I do not know if my car is safe and if my airbags will deploy when appropriate and not when it is not appropriate. The main problem is that they don't know why the sensor is constantly on and just keep "trying" to replace things and hope it is fixed. I do not feel comfortable with hoping they are right when they can't tell me what is wrong. There has been no issues yet but not having your airbag sensor work properly is a significant problem. No police or other agency has looked at the car only the local dealership. I have contacted Nissan but they have not given me any answers except that they have noted my concerns and within my case. They need to be able to tell me if my vehicle is 100% safe to drive. If they can accurately diagnosis the cause, I don't feel they can assure me that everything is okay and safe. My second visit there (6/24/2024) they have replaced the drivers door satelite sensor and found dtc to still be present and will not clear. Now they recommend replacing drivers door harness and airbag control unit. The first visit (5/18/2024) they stated they found dtc 80093 for left hand sensor . They removed the left hand lower b-pillar cover to inspect sensor and wiring was in good condition. Per esm 1st tep is replacing the left had satelite sensor. It has been a month and I still don't know if my car is safe to drive and that the airbags will work, other than the dealership saying it will likely work. But come back and spend $1600 more and hopefully it will work.

Airbag warning light suddenly started flashing(on/off) constantly, regardless if anyone or any item is in passenger seat. After attempting to reset to no avail, taken to dealer for inspection. Dealer listed code b00a0-02(occupant sensor). Dealer stated only fix is to replace entire seat frame as the sensor is built into seat frame. Dealer stated failure to replace can cause airbag to activate inadvertently, or not activate when in a crash. The vehicle has never been involved in a crash.

I have 2015 Nissan rouge select for almost 9 year and I haven’t get in any accident with this car . But my air bag light keep turn off twice within a year . Last year it happened on driver side , I replaced it at dealership and the same issue happened just 10 months later . The passenger air bag is off this time . But the dealership said the reason that I can’t accept it. First the mechanic guy told me that the car is old and the way how we drive with the shaking on the road affect airbag wire and sensor . That’s unacceptable because we have an older car than this 2015 Nissan but it never have air bag problem . While we talk with their supervisor to see if there is any recall we miss and what cause the airbag keep going off , he said one thing made me could not believe that the manufacturer would not test the air bag before selling . Is it mean that I bought this Nissan car and I put my self and my family safety under risk while we are on the road ? …. . . And recently the car transmission failed….

I was traveling east bound and trash collection truck was parked on the shoulder facing east. I could not see the truck because of the position of the sun, and when I did see the parked trash truck, I swerved to miss it but struck the left rear of the parked trash truck with the right front of my vehicle going 35mph. Air bags did not deploy nor did the seat belt lock. I was tranferred to the hospital and sustained 4 broken ribs and an abrasion on my right elbow. Police department and ems did see that air bags did not deploy. Police report shows code for the air bag and seat belt malfunctions. No warning messages etc of any kind showed up.

There is a recall for the airbag light coming on the dashboard. Took the car to the dealership to get the car looked at, was informed their is a recall for the airbag light. Was told it was fixed, a week later the light came back on. Went back to dealership, this time they said it would need a new driver side seat and electrical panel replaced to be repaired correctly and to know 100 % the driver side airbag works correctly. Nissan won't cover it because those aren't the current parts to fix it. I don't understand, the dealership tried twice to fix the problem with the standard parts that are allotted in the recall and it didn't work, now it needs to be fixed properly. I have a Nissan with a safety recall issue that Nissan refuses to cover the cost to fix it. It is very unsafe, dangerous and life threatening to have a vehicle with no working driver side airbag. We bought this car for our 16 year old son, only to have a severe safety violation in the car that won't get fix properly by the manufacturer. What if he is in a front on collision and the airbag doesn't work? heaven forbid he get critically injured or even die from it. What does it take for Nissan to do the right thing and properly fix the recall. In the meantime our son isn't allowed to drive his new car much and not far from the house. How would they feel if it were their teenager in a car with no driver side airbag and the company with a recall refused to fix it correctly. I guess our son's life doesn't matter to anyone but us. All we want is for the recall to be fixed correctly ( which we knew nothing about) which is correctly working airbags. How would you feel? concerned mom, parents everywhere, shannon gough.

Hello, I bought my Nissan Rogue in 2015 and I’m the original owner. I had parked my car at lowe’s and upon returning from store, my dashboard showed the air bag alert sign that didn’t go away and remains turned on my driver-side dashboard. I wasn’t in an accident or didn’t have other issues, and car was simply just parked when alert popped up and remained on. VIN# 5n1at2ml0fc918328. Nissan dealership staff charges for such repairs but I feel this should be covered under warranty as it’s a major safety issue. Can your team please help me. Thank you.

My airbag sensor started flashing for no reason. With estimated repairs at $6000, I don’t understand why there isn’t a recall. I see that this is an ongoing problem for Rogues/rogue selects.

Passenger seat occupant sensor CO troller and drivers side rear airbag failed and need to be replaced. Airbag light remained on and faults diagnosed by Nissan service. Failed sensors mean airbag likely may not deploy in the event of impact. Found article that there was a recall on this for this vehicle in 2016 but this sites say no recall. This is over $6000 in repairs for product failure.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the airbag warning light would flash on the instrument panel upon start of his vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where a diagnostic was performed; the diagnostic showed that the clock spring was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that his vehicle was not under recall or warranty for the failure. The contact was given a case number. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

The occupant t sensor (OCS) is faulty, and keeps flashing nonstop for months. My passengers are unsafe. The dealer confirms the problem wants to charge $1,500, but I see it is a recurring problem. However, even though my vehicle is within the range of vehicles recalled (rogue 2014 through 2017), my VIN # is not showing a recall, and I would like to know why it was not included - as it should be. Please be advised that it might have to do with the model designation as "rogue select" instead of "rogue". The Rogue select is essentially the same vehicle as the 2014 Rogue , they just renamed it adding "select" when they introduced the new design in 2015 because they could not have two vehicles with the same name. Please investigate.

Drove my car normally to work and home that day. Upon starting it up in the evening, the red airbag light turned on and began flashing as soon as the key was in the ignition. I read the manual, tried to reset the warning light by unhooking the battery. Airbag light continues to flash on the drivers side. The owners' manual says this means the airbag is faulty and will not deploy in a crash. This vehicle has never had the airbags deploy or been in a crash significant enough for the airbags to deploy. I called the local dealership on 2/16/23 and they reported no recalls. They said it is probably a sensor not under warranty and repairs would be $2000. I do not have the money to have this repaired. My life safety is at risk.

Driver airbag light started flashing. According to the vehicle manufacturer's manual, this indicator means the drivers' airbag will not deploy. The battery was unplugged and left in an attempt to reset. When key turned in ignition, the airbag light immediately started flashing again. I am the only owner of this vehicle. I bought it brand new and it has never been in an accident where the airbags have deployed. The vehicle has been garage kept for the duration of my ownership. I have not had any water damage, and I have not had any other electrical issues so far.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for routine maintenance who stated there was failure with the occupant restraint system. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted who informed him the repairs were not covered and referred him to NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 110. 000. The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number 16v911000 (air bags).

The airbag light comes on in the car screen, it was taken for inspection, as stated in the attached invoice and they told us that the entire airbag system had to be changed, it should be noted that the vehicle has never had no accident and we are worried because if we were to have an accident the airbags would not work. Thanks for your help.

The passenger airbag is faulty, the airbag will now not deploy in the case of a collision. Initially before the airbag light was on, the sensor would classify the seat as empty when it wasn't, similar to one of the existing recalls Nissan has on Rogues, that this VIN is not included in. Now it has progressed where the srs air bag light flickers on regardless of resetting it. This is a safety hazard for my dogs and spouse that go on the passenger front seat.

Air bag light blinking on dashboard and no accident involved.

Front passenger seat airbag sensors failed. Airbag light continues to stay on. Dealer rest and sensors failed again several days later. Dealer estimated $6,000+ for repair.

Front passenger seat cushion. Front seat passenger occupant classification system may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. -was not in an accident but I had a diagnostic done. There was a recall for my year car but my VIN was not attached.

My airbag sensor light is flashing and I took it to Nissan alhambra. They stated that the ecu and OCS sensor is defected and needs to be replaced. However they can attempt to repair it for 1,890 but it may or may not fix the issue and by tampering with it may cause airbags to deploy and cause bigger problem. It's very unfortunate that I took it to the dealer and they were not able to help. According to kbb and NHTSA my 2015 Nissan Rogue is one of the models that have been recalled. I am driving a Nissan and uncertain if my airbags will protect me in an emergency.

My horn stopped working and my airbag light came on. Now I don’t know if my airbag is going to randomly deploy. The dealership wants more than $600 to fix this faulty part and there are several forums suggesting that this is a known problem. How can a single mother keep herself and her teen driver’s safe while driving this car?.

Airbag light flashing. When taken to jiffy lube for oil change I was advised to contact you.

Unknown, air bag light keeps flashing.

About 3 months ago. Clock spring had to be replaced. Have receipts. After having this done I asked some mechanics every one said extremely rare. Please inform!.

The airbag light turns on despite not having a passenger seated or anything on the seat. I’ve never gotten into a crash either and when I took my car to jiffy lube to run a diagnostic the code b0020 past came up. From what I read online this is a common sensor issue. Nissan should do a recall and fix this.

Airbag warning light came on Nissan check the problem and stated the vehicle needs a left front seat back also stated airbags will not work until the part is replaced. ( airbag is defective).
