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. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Tires, pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOct 5, 2009
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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CAUSING HIM TO CRASH INTO A SECOND VEHICLE.

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. *TR

I HAVE CALLED THE NISSAN RECALL LINE TO PUT A COMPLAINT ON MY NISSAN, ROUGE, RECALL NO. NTB08-095A AND DID NOT WANT TO ACCEPT MY CLAIM SINCE THEY STATE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPLY UNDER THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAG AND NISSAN HAS STATED CLEARLY THAT THEY ARE WANTING TO FIX THIS AIR BAG (OCS) PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I AM OVERLY CONCERN THAT IF I DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT I AM NOT PROTECTED ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE HURT, I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO ADVICE ME WHAT I CAN DO SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL THAT I HAVE LOOKED IT UP IN THE RECALL SITE OF THE NHTSA. THANKS, *TR

TWICE DURING APRIL 2014 MY 2008 ROGUE WAS AT THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE CODE WAS IN THE PAST TENSE AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING SINCE IT WAS NOT AN ACTIVE CODE (B1018). WITHOUT DOING ANY TESTING, I WAS TOLD THAT TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT CUSHION ($2,500). WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN RECALL 2008-10-07 DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN USA CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 4/22/14 AND REQUESTED THAT MY VEHICLE BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE NISSAN IS AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS IN THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUES. NISSAN REFUSED MY REQUEST AND STATED THAT AIRBAGS ARE SECONDARY SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE DEFECT SINCE SEAT BELTS ARE CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY SAFETY FEATURE. AT THIS POINT I DON'T KNOW IF MY AIRBAG SYSTEM IS EVEN OPERATIONAL SINCE THE LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED. NISSAN HAS ISSUED RECALLS ON THE ROGUE AND OTHER MODELS FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS SO I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IMPACTING MORE VEHICLES THAN THEY REALIZE AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR. WHAT MORE CAN I DO TO GET NISSAN TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AN ADULT PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS OFF AND THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF A CRASH OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM LOCATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V521000(AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

Air bags, Apr 9, 2014
THE CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT HAD COME ON SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANDY MOHR NISSAN IN AVON INDIANA TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE SHOP DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. EVIDENTLY, THE SENSOR IS IMBEDDED IN THE BOTTOM SEAT CUSHION REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CUSHION. WITHOUT REPLACEMENT, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT ENGAGE. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WAS OVER $3,200, AND THE CAR HAD JUST FALLEN OUT OF WARRANTY BY 350 MILES. THE COST OF THIS SEAT CUSHION INCLUDING LABOR IS ROUGHLY ONE-THIRD OF THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE 2008 ROGUES FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I LATER RECEIVED A CALL INFORMING ME THAT ALTHOUGH THESE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED, OUR VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE RECALL. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE ONE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR IS THE SAME AS THOSE RECALLED, BUT OURS IS NOT ON THE LIST. THIS PUTS US IN A NO WIN SITUATION. FIRST, IT MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS. SECOND, WE CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND ONE THIRD OF THE VALUE OF THE CAR TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIRD, IT KILLS THE RESALE VALUE OF THE CAR SINCE WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE ANY POTENTIAL BUYER AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR
Air bags, Oct 29, 2013
I NOTICED AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING IN DASH PANEL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT FIRESTONE, SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I ALSO NOTICED THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR SAYS "PASS AIRBAG NOT ON" EVEN WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER. I DID A COMPUTER SEARCH TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE (POSSIBLY MINOR, TAKE IT TO AUTOZONE). UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ROGUE OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND ALSO SAW A RECALL (08V521000). WHEN I PHONED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THEY SAID MY ROGUE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED "ELSEWHERE". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1,800 TO REPAIR!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED "ELSEWHERE", BUT THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS MADE AT THE SAME PLACE, AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE I GOT IT FROM THE DEALER AT THE BEGINNING OF 2009. NO ACCIDENTS. I'M THE OWNER AND DRIVER." *TR
Air bags, Electrical system, Oct 4, 2013
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR LIT UP FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE OCS SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A RECALL (08V521000). I CALLED THE RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10-2-13 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. WAS INFORMED THAT IN FACT, THE OCS HAD GONE BAD; BUT AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND WOULD COST $2819 TO FIX. I HAVE SINCE ESCALATED MY CASE TO THE REGIONAL LEVEL, GIVEN THAT MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES, WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, AND A SENSOR SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND THAT! I WAS TOLD BY THE REGIONAL OFFICE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT, AND THAT THEY WILL FURTHER RESEARCH MY SITUATION. *TR

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. *TR

NHTSA PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED A RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROGUES FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR NOT CONNECTING PROPERLY WITH THE SRS, MAKING THE SRS INDICATOR FLASH AND RENDERING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG USELESS. I PURCHASED MY ROGUE USED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN THE PROBLEM AROSE, CHECKED YOUR DATABASE TO FIND IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS TELL ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. A BRIEF SEARCH ON GOOGLE HOPING TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THIS REPAIR WOULD COST, INDICATES THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ROGUE OWNER AFFECTED BY THIS. I WONDER IF THE RECALL WAS SUFFICIENTLY BROAD. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS MALFUNCTIONED ON ITS OWN, BUT WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I LEASED A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE TWO YEARS AGO. AN ISSUE HAS SINCE TRANSPIRED. IN OCTOBER OF 2009 WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT OCCASIONALLY GOES ON REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE PERSON SITTING THERE. THIS LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OVER THIS LAST YEAR THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO ARISE. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN THIS PAST MONDAY WITH A ROUTINE CHECK. PRIOR TO MY DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF I DECIDED TO RECORD IT ON MY PHONE AS WE WERE DRIVING SEEING AS THOUGH I COULD NOT BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER THE CAR WAS THERE FOR A FEW HOURS, I GOT A CALL BACK SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THEY ARE READY TO RELEASE. I AM STILL NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I LEFT IT THERE AND CALL CUSTOMER AFFAIRS. FINALLY AFTER 4 DAYS, THEY RETURNED MY CALL. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY SPOKE TO THE SHOP AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZING ANY REPAIRS OR PAYING FOR THE RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND ARE SAYING THAT MY 125 LB WIFE MAY BE TOO LIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE BAG SENSOR. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 5, 2008, I STARTED MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I CALLED LOVE NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY SENT A WRECKER TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. THEY ORDERED PARTS AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT, 2 SIDE AIR BAG MODULES, 2 FRONT SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES, HEADLINER, AND CENTER GARNISH FINISHERS. THEY TOLD ME THE BOARD IN THE DIAGNOSTIC UNIT WAS BUBBLED AND THEY PROBABLY WOULD NEVER KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS. PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: PURCHASED VEHICLE NOVEMBER 5, 2007. ON NOVEMBER 15, 2007, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. DIAGNOSTIC: NO CODES FOUND OR STORED AT THIS TIME, TEST DROVE, RECHECKED CODES, NO PROBLEMS FOUND AT THIS TIME. ON JANUARY 19, 2007, RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. DIAGNOSTIC TEST: NO DTC STORED IN SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME ALL WORKING PROPERLY. TEST DROVE. OK. ON JANUARY 22, 2008, RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP ORDERED AND REPLACED: AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL UNIT, PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR, AND BOTTOM CUSHION FRAME ASSEMBLY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY AGAIN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS WOULD CAUSE ME TO WRECK. *TR
