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.

TAKATA RECALL. AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. BROUGHT TO DEALER. CHARGED ME $160 TO TELL ME OF A SENSOR PAD MALFUNCTION AND ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE OF SRS SYSTEM THAT WOULD COST APPROX 1,900. I UNDERSTAND 2008 AND 2010 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT 2009. WHY NOT??

BLINKING AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CHARGED $115 FOR INSPECTION AND SAID THAT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NEEDS TO BE CHANGED WHICH HAS OCS SENSOR BUILT IN, WHICH WOULD COST ADDITIONAL $1965. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL NISSAN ROGUE 2009 AND THE COMPANY MUST RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS AS IF THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH

I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE SEATBELT SENSOR WAS NOT OPERATIVE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THAT MAY WARRANT A RECALL.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON . VEHICLE WAS SERVICE AT BALISE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT . ALL THEY DID WAS RESET THE LIGHT AND ONCE WE DROVE OFF DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON LIKE 10 MIN AFTER .
Air bags, Seats, Jun 17, 2019
AIR BAG FAILURE - THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO NOT WORK (AS NOTED BY THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH AS WELL AS THE SECONDARY AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON NEAR THE GEAR SHIFTER). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF THE NISSAN ROGUE WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL (2008 AND 2010 WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE). AS A RESULT, IN ORDER FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM TO WORK AND TO REMAIN SAFE IN THE CAR WHEN DRIVING, IT REQUIRES A NEW PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THIS REPAIR COSTS GREATER THAN $2000 (PART AND LABOR).

RECALL -HARNESS CONNECTOR (TORQUE CONVERTED SOLENOID CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) PREVIOUS RECALL WASN'T COMPLETED PROPERLY AS I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE POWER TRAIN AND RELATED CIRCUITRY, TWO WEEKS AFTER THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY FIXED THE HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECT AND REPLACE RECALL (ROGUE CONNECT) THAT WAS PLACE ON THE CAR. THE CAR JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY OR HESITATES AT STOP THEN TAKES OFF SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEED. I LIKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO LOOK INTO THIS AND PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS RECALL BY FIXING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THEY BUILT WHICH I STILL CURRENT DRIVE. A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WAS DONE AT AUTOZONE AND I WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID CIRCUITS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THAT IT'S DUE TO A DAMAGED TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS THAT IS EITHER LOOSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SYSTEM AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON FOR THE PASSANGER SIDE AND IT WONT TURN OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $2000. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM THE LOOKS OF IT MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME.

ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT FIRST FOR LONG PERIODS. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN. CAN'T OR WON'T ACCELERATE. I CALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO AND I WAS DISMISSED. BUT I SEE THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN OTHER STATES, DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE WITH DIFFERENT NISSAN MODELS. THE CVT... I WOULD THINK IF THERES AN ISSUE NISSAN, BEING AS BIG AS THEY ARE WOULD ADDRESS IT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL YOU COMPANIES LIKE TO TO IS SHOVE US UNDER THE RUG . I LIKE MY CAR AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I'D HAVE TO GO TO SUCH LENGTH TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED. I'VE HAD MAINTENANCE DONE WHICH IS COSTLY AND STILL NO TIX...

Air bags, Apr 11, 2019
MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE IS PULLING A CODE FOR THE OCCUPANCY-CLASSIFICATION SENSOR FAIL. THIS IS THE SAME FAIL THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS. THE FIX, I'M TOLD IS A NEW SEAT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY EXCESSIVE AND NOT REASONABLE GIVEN THE HISTORY OF NISSAN AND THE OCS SENSOR FAILURES ON THEIR VEHICLES.
