Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. 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. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT BLINKS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT (NEAR THE GEAR SHIFTER) STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THE NISSAN CUSTOMER FORUMS INDICATE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE OCS AIRBAG SENSOR LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN REFERS OWNERS TO THE LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE.

I CAN'T GET THE AIRBAG TO STOP FLASHING. I'VE BEEN TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TWICE. THEY RESET IT AND THEN IT BEGINS FLASHING WITHIN DAYS.

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER THE CRASH THE AIRBAG WENT OUT BUT NOT INFLATED. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND BECAUSE OF A WATER BUMP THE VEHICLE MOVES AND CRASH WITH THE HIGHWAY DIVISION THROWING THE VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND STOPED INMEDIATELY. AFTER THAT I REMOVED VERY EASY THE AIRBAG AND WALK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE .SEATBELTS LOCKED.

'TAKATA RECALL". I GOT INTO MAY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE WHEN ALL SUDDEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATED AIRBAG HAD BEEN INFLATED. LIGHT INDICATOR SHOWS STEERING WHEEL INFLATED. I CALLED NISSAN 1-800 WAS TOLD TO CALL LOCAL DEALER WHO SOLD ME CAR. CALLED WORLD CAR NISSAN AND PERSON WAS VERY RUDE WHEN ASKED IF IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OR IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG. I'M VERY CONCERNED IT MAY INFLATE WITHOUT NOTICE OR MAY NOT WORK IF NEEDED. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM AS I READ THE 2008 AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUE.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD SENSOR AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $1,200. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WHEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT CONCERNS SAFETY, NISSAN SHOULD MAKE DUE TO IT'S PROMISE AND DO THE REPAIRS FOR THE CUSTOMER.

RECENT BUMP IN ROAD CAUSED SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY, BUT NOT THE FRONT. NOW HAVING TO REPLACE ENTIRE SEAT BECAUSE CENSOR IS BAD ON PASSENGER AIR BAG SIDE. WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. 2008 MODELS HAVE A RECALL, BUT 2009'S DO NOT.

MY 2009 ROGUE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $2200 TO FIX AND THAT IF I WAS IN A WRECK THE AIR BAGS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. I'M SEEING A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT'S A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. THE SENSOR THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED IS IN THE CAR SEAT. WHY WAS IT DESIGNED LIKE THAT??? STUPID!

"TAKATA RECALL" MY PASSANGER SEAT BELT LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PASS 6 MONTHS. NO ACCIDENTS, CAR WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS YET, BUT I READ ON OTHER WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I N THE 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AND THAT IT IS EXPENSIVE TO GET FIXED. IF THIS IS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR FREE.

ONE DAY I STARTED MY CAR AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD BLINKING FOR A MINUTE AND THEN STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME UNTIL I TURN OFF MY CAR, TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT IS BAD, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1,200.00 TO FIX IT, THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AROUND 72000 MILES, SO I HAVE NOT FIX IT YET AND AS OF TODAY 01/03/2017 THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON, I'M THINKING THAT IF I EVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOYED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, I HOPE THAT THIS REPORT WILL HELP OTHER PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD AND REPORT THIS PROBLEM SO IT CAN GET RESOLVED...

THIS IS TO REPORT THE CONSTANT FLASHING AIRBAG WARNING SIGNAL ON THE PANEL OF MY VEHICLE. NOW THE SIGNAL HAS ADVANCED TO INCLUDE A PERSON WITH A BALLOON BAG IN A SITTING POSITION. I HAVE JUST OVER 60,000 MILES BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON BUT NOT GOING OFF NOW IT'S CONSTANT. I CONTACTED NISSAN SERVICE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE LOOKED AT AS A RECALL ITEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL PROBLEM AND I WILL NEED TO PAY $128 FOR A DIAGNOSIS TEST. OF COURSE I'M NOT PAYING FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTED. I'M STILL WAITING ON A SERVICE MANAGER TO CALL ME REGARDING THEIR RESPONSE. IN READING ALL THE OTHER AIRBAG PROBLEMS SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THIS SERIOUS MATTER THAT MAY CAUSE HARM. THIS OCCURS NO MATTER WHERE THE VEHICLE IS THE LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT WHEN DRIVING. *TR

" TAKATA RECALL"-MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME TO TELL ME I HAVE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I JUTS BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM NISSAN IN FEB 2015. THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE TO START WITH REPLACING MY PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT WILL BE$1,900 AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE REPAIR WILL STOP THERE. I WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL FUNCTION UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED.
