The passenger side Air Bag indicator has been on since 2019, was not aware I could report it here. I have not taken it to a Dealership because I can't afford to have it fixed. In 2018, I had to replace the CV joint and front rocker arms. A piece was cracked, and when I would turn I would hear a loud POP & TICKING sound from the front passenger side tire area. Again I paid over $1500 to have it repaired, I no longer have the photographs or the actual parts.
The passenger side airbag indicator light flashes continually on the dash and stays illuminated on the console. This same issue was recalled for the 2008 and 2010 Nissan Rogues but for some reason not the 2009. My vehicle only has 62,000 miles on it currently and this is a safety issue.
A vehicle was purchased from Pristine Auto Sales in Hopkinsville, KY. Following the purchase, the vehicle was inspected by a licensed mechanic and he reported the following, "I/We ("Licensed Mechanic Shop") inspected "Owner's" 2009 Nissan Rogue vin# XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX today due to her hearing grinding when applying her brake to stop and the vehicle is pulling to the left when applying the brake to stop. I also noticed the airbag light is on as well. Upon inspection the brake pads, the pads in the rear of the vehicle are metal to metal (on the inside) and the front pads are 1mm thick. According to NHTSA vehicles should not be on the road or even be sold from a dealer with brake pads any thinner than 3mm. It is a MAJOR safety concern as it will cause an accident. Also, after inspecting why the airbag light was on, it is found that one or more of the occupant sensors are defective and therefor causing the airbag system to be disabled. In the event of an accident the airbag system will not work. It is also against NHTSA for a vehicle to be sold with a defective Safety system such as Airbag system." The issues were present upon purchase. The purchaser is not knowledgeable about vehicles. Given that the vehicle was sold with the safety concerns already present, it appears that this auto sale business is not in compliance with NHTSA and mechanic has spoken with the business and they were unwilling to cooperate to ensure repairs were made on vehicle.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated, and the "Passenger Air Bag Off" warning message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with occupant sensor unit failure. The front passenger seat and the occupant sensor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer, Nissan of Melbourne (440 S Harbor City Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901) and Mike Erdman Nissan (4640 FL-520, Cocoa, FL 32926) were made aware of the failure and informed the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000. Consumer called 3 different Nissan dealers in our local area (Pat Fischer Nissan, Nissan of Melbourne, and Mike Erdman Nissan) and they concurred you cannot just buy the sensor, you must order the seat which contains the sensor (seat part #873A2JM30B). The list price is $1,630.45-€"even with Nissan dealer installation, the seat must be ordered and paid for in advance and is not returnable as it is part of the Air Bag System. The labor cost is approximately $230-$250 when you add in additional shop fees and taxes, the total repair cost is in the $2,000 range.

Airbag light blinking on instrument panel and passenger seat airbag light on. Nissan of bowie in Maryland wants to charge me over $2474.56 to trim, seat cushion front. Vehicle failure 11/04/2020 at 90,090 miles. Op code BS119.
The airbag warning lamp turned on out of nowhere when I started my car.. just a regular day.. seems to be an issue with the sensor and there is an active recall for 08 and '14 models with the same issue.. however the Nissan dealer told me that they get a lot of clients with this issue for 09 models.
The airbags will not deploy on the passenger side of the car because of an air bag seat fault in the 2009 Rogue cars. The 2008 and 2010 Rogue models had the same problem but a recall was enforced on it. Nissan admitted the 2009 seat sensor was made by the same company but it was a VIN problem. Found on your site affected VIN numbers all start with jn8as58 including mine. We are all having this dangerous problem of the air bags being shut off automatically. Nissan wants 2000 dollars to repair the problem. This problem also passes the safety part of a nys vehicle inspection. I though air bags were put in the car to save lives, but is not considered a safety issue them not deploying. Please push for a recall before someone dies.
The supplemental air bag warning light has been flashing for over four years and you would think that there would be a recall for this since it just came on by itself without warning.
The passenger side airbag indicator keeps on and the airbag light on the dashboard is flashing. We started noticing the issue in year 2015 and this has never been fixed. We hoped Nissan can fix the same issue as they recalled 2008 Nissan Rogue (08-095D).
The air bag warning light blinks all the time. This also turns off the passenger side airbag. It appears that 2008 through 2013 have the same problem. Why is 2009 not recalled for the same defect?
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the passenger's side air bag warning light flashed continuously at start-up. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the passenger's side front seat needed to be replaced to repair the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
Took car to dealer for airbag light and diagnostic says airbag sensor on passenger seat. Cost of $2,000 to replace. Many reports of the same and dealer says no recalls for this.
As of yesterday (9/3/2020) my 2009 Nissan Rogue with 101,000 miles has her passenger side, airbag light flashing on the dash and the console airbag light on. My research shows the airbag sensor to have been a recall on '08 and '10 Rogues, but not '09. (the tsb no. Is 08-095D.) this makes zero sense to me, it is an extreme danger to me and my family, and unacceptable. When the light came on the car had been parked for about 1 hour, prior it had been driven about 8 miles from its parking spot. It has since been parked and turned on again after 12 hrs, lights are still on and blinking on the dash. Please recall this vehicle for recall of this faulty equipment. Death is not an option for this correctable problem.
The airbag sensor is defective in the 2009 Nissan Rogue just like the 2008 and 2010 Rogue. The airbag weight sensor in the passenger seat stays on disabling the passenger airbag to whom even sits there. It also leaves a flashing airbag light in the dashboard. Nissan is ware of the problem and makes you pay them to diagnose the problem at an hourly rate then charge you over $2000 to replace the seat like they did for the 2008 and 2010 models in a recall. The parts are the same in the 2009 model.
