2008 Nissan Rogue Air Bags & Restraints Problems

A light on my car's dashboard started flashing, indicating a problem with the airbag. This started after two days of not driving.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving on Highway I-10 at 65 MPH, there was an extremely loud popping sound coming from the vehicle. The contact immediately pulled over, assuming there was a failure with the tire. Upon further investigation with her parents, it was determined that the tires were intact, and the abnormal sound came from the side air bag deploying unintendedly. Additionally, the seat belt seized. The vehicle was towed to the local Nissan dealer, where it was diagnosed with an erroneous rollover detection by the crash sensor, which triggered the deployment of the side air bags. The crash sensor detected a rollover, causing the side airbag to deploy. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and filed a case, and informed the contact that a response would be provided later. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

1.Frame bracket has rusted out and dealer only sells whole frame. VERY EXPENSIVE *It is obviously an issue which has not been addressed but has been *noted on internet. (went after market to repair still at $775!) 2. Airbags system light now on and was on recall in the past. Dealer will only look at it for $100. * Noted on internet as a continuous issue for some. 3. Cruise Control on past recall. Has not functioned since dealer fixed in recall. *Still turns on by itself and will not go off unless I turn vehicle off. **Definite safety issue** 4. Parking brake not functioning properly was also on recall. If I use it then it will not release all the way and continues to drag. USELESS. Have had repaired 2 times by mechanic since recall. 5. Transmission replaced on SILENT recall with extended warranty. Had issues from almost the start. WHY would I purchase another Nissan of any type? Vehicle 2008 Nissan Rogue is 13 1/2 years old with only 76,000 miles. No way should it have these issues. It has never been in an accident! I love the vehicle but not these issues. I will be replacing this vehicle in the future with a competitor.

The passenger airbag warning light shows the airbag will not engage when a passenger is in the front seat. I just bought this car used from a private party. The photograph below shows when the ignition is turned on and I am sitting in the front passenger seat with my seat belt on. The light never turns off when I’m a passenger or when I have a passenger in the front seat. I am afraid the airbag will not work in a front end collision.

Issue with airbags system and horn. Horn decided not to work any longer

THE AIRBAG STARTED TO FLASH AND IT WON'T GO AWAY. I KNOW THAT THIS MODEL HAS A RECALLED ON THAT PROBLEM, AND I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX IT. THANK YOU!

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING AND PASSENGER AIRBAG DISENGAGED LIGHT ON WHEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCE WITH A PASSENGER. THERE IS A RECALL NTB08-95 BUT NISSAN TELLS ME IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY PRODUCTION RUN. BUT MY CAR IS DEMONSTRATING THIS PROBLEM JUST AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL. RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY PRODUCTION RUN. BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALER 10-27-20, IT WILL COST $3200.00 TO REPLACE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION JUST AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING AND AIRBAG OFF FOR PASSENGER SEAT EVEN THOUGH HUSBAND SITTING IN SEAT. FLASHING STARTED AFTER 2 MINUTES DRIVING VEHICLE. FLASHING LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF FOR 20 MINUTE JOURNEY TO AND FROM LUNCH. CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING CAR AGAIN.

PASSANGERS'S SEAT BELT LIGHT ON. TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHILE IN MOVING FORWARD

While driving to work passenger airbag light came on and wouldn't shut off, regardless of whether or not a person was sitting there, in addition the airbag warning light on the dash also came on. I took the car to an independent mechanic who told me it was an OCS issue (Code B1018). After a little research I found a recall for this issue on my model car (NHTSA Ref# 08V521000) but my VIN is excluded. Contacted a local dealer and was told it would likely be $2,500 for a new seat cushion. This severely affects any passengers safety in my vehicle and should be addressed by Nissan.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING WHEN NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE CAR.

CURRENT RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROUGE FOR SEAT SENSOR AFFECTING AIRBAG. HAD VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH A NISSAN DEALER USA. OCCUPANT SEAT SENSOR FAILURE. WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $2000 OUT OF MY POCKET.

AIR BAG INDICATOR ON DASH FLASHING. FAULT INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS A FAULTY SEAT CUSHION SENSOR. DEALER STATED THAT OWNER HAS TO PAY $2,000 TO REPAIR. IN THE MEAN TIME ANY PASSENGER RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT HAVE AIRBAG PROTECTION. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS NOT REQUIRED TO REPAIR SAFETY ISSUES?

PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT REGISTERING THAT IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. THE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED. IT STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY OR TURNING.
