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.

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.
Air bags, Nov 23, 2020
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).
Air bags, Oct 21, 2020
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?

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.

Air bags, Seat belts, Seats, May 8, 2020
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. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT OPEN. IT CAN NEVER BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I'M INSIDE AND GO TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT, AND IT WONT OPEN. THIS IS WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF, CAR IN PARK, AND DOORS UNLOCKED. IN AN EMERGENCY, SUCH AS CAR STALLING ON A RAILROAD TRACK/CAR SINKING IN A POND/ENGINE ON FIRE - I COULD BE STUCK INSIDE!
Air bags, Seats, Dec 5, 2019
I HAVE THE SRS LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCCUPANT SEAT SENSOR IS BAD AND NEED REPLACEMENT. THIS DEVICE STOP THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING EVEN IF THERE IS AN OCCUPANT, SO THEY ARE AT RISK. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY USERS NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A SAFETY DEVICE THAT SHOULD WORK. 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WAS RECALLED, SO WHY OTHER YEAR AREN'T IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED.
