After driving nearly 50 miles on the highway, I got off the exit and stopped at a stop sign. Once it was clear I tried to accelerate but due to some kind of power loss the vehicle would not move. The vehicle lost power and the RPM's dropped under 1000. After a few minutes the power returned to normal and I drove to my original destination. This is the third time this has personally happened to me in this vehicle and I would like to report it so it does not happen to anyone else.

The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 08V521000( air bags). The failure mileage was 100,000.
For the past few weeks, my gas gauge has been reading incorrectly and when I would go to fill out the vehicle, it would never show completely full. In some cases, I would turn on the vehicle and it would read sufficiently less than what was in the tank and then climb back up to what I assume was the correct level. My last fill up, the gauge read 3 bars left of fuel and I pumped 14.5 gallons of gas at the station which is exactly my gas tank size. I then looked online and discovered several other people with the same make, model, and year and other models were having the same issue but no good fixes appear to have been found.
As reported by many other 2008 Nissan Rogue owners, the passenger side airbag sensor light was flashing, indicating a non-functional airbag (the entire airbag system, driver's side included, we found out later). This particular vehicle was not one of the 200,000+ vehicles recalled (08V521000) for the very same issue with the OCS (occupant classification system). The only fix, according to the dealer (and the subsequent multiple calls to Nissan Consumer Affairs), is to replace the entire passenger side seat. This is a safety issue because: 1) the passenger side sensor disables the entire airbag system, and 2) a very expensive fix ($1800-$2500) is required for a safety system sensor. In light of the nearly 1 million Nissan vehicles recently recalled (2014) for the exact same issue, the recall really should have applied not only to those initial 200,000+ vehicles, but all those vehicles with the same sensor system that they still have not gotten right. This is poor engineering at its best!
Air bag light came on, and remains on. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they said it would cost $1,800 to repair, an indicator in the passenger seat was not working. I did ask about recalls, and they stated there were none. It seems there may have been a recall under NHTSA campaign number 08V521000. However, my VIN was not included in the recall because "the part was manufactured at a different plant". I believe as the same part is malfunctioning in the same vehicle recall, it was also manufactured incorrectly, and Nissan North America should repair it as a part of that recall.
Wednesday September 3rd 2014, the Nissan was parked in front of the house, and has not started seance, I replaced the following parts (for my wife) on the battery. The positive terminal clamp was corroded through to the point we touched it and it broke. (we replaced the parts from dealership September 8th, 2014) before and after the battery terminal and fuse pack were replaced the obd2 will not connect with the computer system in the car at all. Now not even 24 hrs after the above listed parts were replaced, the car battery is now dead, sitting on street with system now reconnected. After parts were replaced the care would crank with no start, (cranking was strong with no lag). Now there is no charge in the battery not even 12 hrs after replacing the parts. This is disconcerting being that we have had no issues with the auto until now. We did note that there is/was a recall for service for 2008 Nissan Rogue as listed bellow: 2008 Nissan Rogue electrical system service bulletin 373732 NHTSA: Action number: 10055490 service bulletin number: 373732 report date: Apr 09, 2014component: Electrical system summary: Nissan: The main harness to body harness connectors is experiencing electrical corrosion issues. 2008-2014 Rogue.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated the front passenger's side air bag warning light illuminated.

The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
The shift remained in locked when it's parked and will not unlock for me to drive. Leaving myself and my baby stranded. When I checked online, it looks like a known complaint by Nissan Rogue owners. They should recall the vehicle to have it repaired as it's dangerous to have such a defect.
I own a 2008 Nissan Rogue which I purchased new. The air bag warning light has recently started blinking on the instrument panel. The dealer told me that it was a failure of the occupant passenger sensor. There was a recall on the same model year for the same issue (campaign id number: 08V521000) but the dealer told me that my VIN was not included. The failure listed in the recall is the exact same failure experienced in the vehicle. Then the dealer told us that it would cost around $3000 to repair!!! we have contacted Nissan but so far they have not agreed to do anything. Since day one, the passenger sensor has always been erratic and often would not work when a passenger was in the seat. We mentioned it to the dealer numerous times but they never agreed to fix it. Now the entire airbag system in the car in not functioning and is creating a safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the air bag light illuminated.

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 contact was also informed of an electrical failure with the air bags. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified, but offered no assistance.

On Dec 12, 2011 at 0500 am my 2009 2008 Nissan Rogue had a keyless entry rollaway. The car was turned off and rolled away causing car and property damage (damage to the car door) after turning off my engine I left the car, leaving the car door open and the car rolled away. I believe that this is a major design flaw of keyless entry cars and that it is the responsibility of both the ntsb and Nissan to personally notify people of this major design flaw and to provide corrective action to avoid repeated accidents. Some sort of "fix" such as an automatic lock should prevent the vehicle from leaving rolling away when the car engine is turned off. In reviewing the info available from ntsb I noted that this is a design flaw that has been noted in similar cases involving rollaway accidents and that both industry has not taken corrective action.
The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the tire pressure and air bag warning lights were illuminated. The contact attempted to repair the vehicle but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but denied any assistance with repairs to the defect. The vehicle had experienced similar symptoms as the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number: 09V393000 ( tires:pressure monitoring and regulating systems), but the VIN was not included in the recall. A local mechanic diagnosed that there was a tire pressure sensor defect. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
Recently I have noticed that when I fill up my 2008 Nissan Rogue that the gas gauge does not read full. Contacting 2 dealers I was told there is no issue they know of. Upon checking on the internet I find there are many complaints, in all year Rogues, and a couple other Nissan models. Nissan has to know about it. Some say theirs stay 1/4 of a tank down, while the majority say an 1/8 of a tank. This false reading could result in people being stranded in desolate places, thereby threatening ones health; or an entire family's health, I know a gentleman who bought a 2011, has less than 5,000 miles on it, and his already has the same issue. This has to be a Nissan issue, as I see on no other auto makes on line. Do you have any data on this? thank you.
Cold day in nyc. The 2008 Nissan Rogue driver's side door fails to open. At first I used the keyless entry system. Then I tried to use the key and it will still not open. I had to go around the passenger side to get into the driver's seat. This is a safety issue especially at nights and dimlit areas. I had this problem before on the passenger side and took it to the dealer. They charged me $250 to fix problem even though this new model is supposed to be under warranty. Nissan needs to address this issue. I will never purchase a Nissan again.
