Some 2008 Nissan Rogues were recalled for the passenger seat airbag sensor not working and causing the entire airbag system not to work. This recall was not applied to my VIN but I have diagnosed through a Nissan dealership that I have the same issue. Nissan will not help to cover the costs of repair. Our passenger seat airbag sensor switched to off, will no longer turn on and our SRS light is on.

Itakata recall:bought the car in July 2016, and everything that can go wrong has, of course it's trial by error, this car had and still has every defect there is. I bought this car from I was not notified of any problems or was my VIN number posted in any event we were on our way to lake george, traveling at a speed of 70 when all of a sudden my car decelerated, flooring got us know where, literally there was traffic everywhere, I put my hazardous lights on and was finally able to get over to right side of road. On another occasion I attempted to go up a hill and while in drive the car just rolled backwards, service engine light came on, perhaps a week after getting my car serviced and multi car inspection. I took the car back, lady at the desk informed me there was a crack in the cvt, they sealed it and replace transmission fluid, she also went to say if it still gives you problems then we will replace transmission while a few weeks later it decelerated again. I have brought the car back to fucillonissan three times, the service man stated I had to wait until the service light on, what he really meant to say is we are not going pay over three thousand dollars for a new transmission, or wait for the extended warranty to expire. The tire pressure indicated light has came on since I bought the car, which is also a defect, and repeatedly informed them, just filling the tires up and reset the buttons prior to me owning this car it was serviced for emissions defect, their website indicated that they merely reset the button, but the fact that are hazardous fumes don't even direct them to look for leak. The gentleman from Nissan said was resolved, pushing a button, just like they did with tire pressure sensor. Nys adhere to one hand watches the other, hence they would place a recall, I just hope an inexperienced driver go through any of this.

My 2008 Nissan has 54000 miles on it. I had an passenger air bag light off OCS codeb1018 occupant sensor unit malfunction and looking up on it Nissan have a massive recall on this issue all the way to 2017 vehicles. Basically, if the passenger is less then 150lbs the air bag should not deploy as per Nissan but with the sensor being fail air bag will not deploy at all even in a major accident. This leaves the passenger wide open for injury. I called the Nissan customer service and it seems they are not concerned at all. They want to only treat this if the VIN is under recall and not if it's not under recall. I believe it's a liability and major safety concern. Nissan should be worried about every vehicle and not just the one they are calling. I don't understand the robotic mentality either you worry about safety or you don't. you can't have both ways. Their customer service terrible not another Nissan product and I will tell others to steer clear. Sadly if it was a vacuum cleaner I would've got new one by the manufacturer by now. It's the cost of repair Nissan trying to wing it. Entire seat need to be replaced due this concern and the cost is upward of 2000 dollars and Nissan is aware. So it's never about safety is it? (otc scanner only one code) see picture. I believe since its a safety hazard Nissan should check this code at their dealership free of charge and repair this issue free of charge. They need to own up to their on going problem up until 2017.

We own a 2008 Nissan Rogue. Approximately two weeks ago the airbag light began flashing while driving and the passenger airbag sensor light will show that it is off even when an adult passenger is sitting in the seat. We took this to our local Nissan dealer in which case they informed us that it would cost $1800 to repair. Upon researching this online, I found out that this is a common problem and there was a recall associated with our make, model and year vehicle. It is NHTSA recall number 08V521000. The dealership we took the car to for repair said that our car wasn't included in this recall. I called Nissan directly and filed a case with them to see if I could get our car included in this recall since it is the exact issue described in the recall. They gave me case number 32943503. When the case officer with Nissan called me back they were unwilling to work with us on this issue stating that our VIN was not included in the recall and couldn't provide me with any information on the defective part that was recalled so that I could compare that with what is installed in my car. After looking at all of the complaints online for this exact issue, I think that this recall should be expanded to include more vehicles since the parts installed continue to be defective and this affects life safety of the passengers in these vehicles.

While driving approx. 40 mph the passenger seat light came on indicating seat air bags would not engage. This occurred while a 150 lb. Person was sitting in the passenger seat. A light red indicator light also came on on the dash and it was blinking. Both of these lights have continued every time we use the car whether someone is sitting in the passenger seat or not. After seeing there was a recall on the 2008 OCS from Nissan, I took the car to our local Nissan dealer and they said our VIN number was not included in the recall. Why not, how did they determine that. The same part was used on all the 2008 Rogues as well as many other Nissan of that year. Why is NHTSA not investigating this. There are hundreds, probably more, Nissan vehicles 2008-2009 that have this very expensive problem as well as very unsafe, life threatening issue. Nissans "voluntary" recall helped them escape a full recall. They have not honored their "voluntary" recall.

Supplemental air bag light is always flashing when vehicle is on. Dealer did diagnostic and said there's a problem with the passenger seat air bag sensor. The only remedy is to replace the passenger seat entirely. If the passenger seat is not replaced, the air bag may not deploy when it should.
