Nissan North America, Inc.

The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ROGUE VEHICLES. A SCREW IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING COVER MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND COULD FALL OUT. AS IT LOOSENS, THE STEERING RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE COMPROMISED BUT THE DRIVER WILL RETAIN STEERING CONTROL.
THE SCREW MAY EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR COVER. IF LARGE STEERING INPUTS ARE MADE WITH THE COVER SCREW MISSING THE PINION SHAFT MAY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT WHETHER THE STEERING GEAR COVER SCREW IS LOOSE AND WILL BE RETIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A COVER PLATE TO PREVENT THE SCREW FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. THE MATERIAL IN THE NUT USED TO SECURE THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY CORRODE AND POTENTIALLY CRACK IN AREAS WITH HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE NUT MAY COME OUT OF THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER AND THE TPMS LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE.
IF THE TPMS LAMP IS DISREGARDED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION, THE TIRE WILL QUICKLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE AT A CONSISTENT RATE RESULTING IN A FLAT TIRE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TPMS NUT WITH A NEW, MORE ROBUST NUT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 9, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 AND INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

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 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 NISSANS 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.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS AIR BAG ICON FLASHING ON THE DASH BOARD IN RED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS A RECALL REPORTED BACK IN OCTOBER 2008. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER, 2008 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS RECALL DOES NOT POP UP BASED ON MY VIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL REPAIR MAN SAID IN ORDER TO FIX THIS, I HAVE TO CHANGE WHOLE SEAT WHICH COULD COST ME ABOUT $2000. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE THIS ISSUE. I AM SURE ANY SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSANUSA. IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING AND KILLED BY THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT POP UP, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN.
Air bags, Jul 10, 2016
JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, SHE STATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THE FLASHING PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS "NO PROBLEM". DESPITE 2 EFFORTS ON HER PART TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, IT CONTINUES TO FLASH. WORRIED THAT THE SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT.
Air bags, Jun 29, 2016
MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD NEVER GO TO ON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BEING THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY- EVER- BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EVER SENSE SOMEONE SITTING THERE. THERE WAS A RECALL OF MY EXACT MAKE AND MODEL BUT OF COURSE NOT MY VIN#. NOW, THE STATE OF HAWAII WILL NOT LET ME PASS MY SAFETY INSPECTION- BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY WELL OF THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. SO I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION- TO THE TUNE OF OVER $2000! I WROTE TO NISSAN CORPORATE WHO BASICALLY TOLD ME TO SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING. THIS IS A JOKE & I AM CERTAIN WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE SINCE MY STATE HAS DEEMED IT UNSAFE- OR MY OTHER OPTION IS TO PAY 1/3 OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS ALREADY KNOWN & THERE ARE 100S OF COMPLAINTS. I HOPE YOU GUYS MOVE THIS ALONG BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO MAKE A CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE, PAY OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT, OR PAY IT OFF AND JUNK THE CAR, SINCE I CANNOT SELL AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WON'T PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION. NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE EXACTLY GREAT FOR ME. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS & SEEMS MORE LIKE A WAY FOR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO INCREASE PROFITS. I HOPE YOU MOVE QUICKLY ON THIS BEFORE INNOCENT LIVES ARE TAKEN BY A KNOWN FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. NOT TO MENTION, I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO EITHER PAY THE $2000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR TO JUNK MY CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY PENALTIES! I'M GLAD MY OWN STATE CAN SEEM THIS COMPLETELY UNSAFE BUT NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED? WHAT IF I FIX IT- WILL I BE REIMBURSED IF THERE FINALLY IS A RECALL? THIS HAS PUT ME IN SUCH A TERRIBLE PLACE! PLEASE HELP!
