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.

THEY RESET IT BUT IT CAME BACK ON. NEXT...THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPIRAL CABLE- PART ALONE IS 682.00 AND IF THAT DOESNT DO IT, THEN THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE CONTROL BOARD AND THATS 1020.00 FOR PART... THEY ARE THE DEALER....BESIDES BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE PROBLEM IS?? I CALLED NISSAN TO PUT IN A CLAIM. THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE SOME MONEY OFF THE SPIRAL CABLE, BUT WHY AM I PAYING FOR THAT IF THEY AREN'T EVEN SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!!

Air bags, Jul 12, 2019
I JUST TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S NORMAL MAINTENANCE (OIL CHANGE/FILTERS, ETC.) TODAY - 7/12/19. ALL IS IN GOOD CONDITION, EXCEPT I ASKED NISSAN TO LOOK AT THE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT THAT STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON (O/A 7/5/19). THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING, AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED AND WOULD COST ME APX $1,020 TO FIX. THIS IS AN APPARENT SAFETY ISSUE, AND I DID NOTHING TO MY VEHICLE FOR THIS KIND OF THING TO STOP WORKING. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND AM VERY RELIANT ON MY CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, ETC. I BELIEVE, DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT ALONE, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOTICE AND FIXED. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL WHILE MY 25YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM A CHARITY EVENT. WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, IT CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT THE GUARD RAILS. MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA, BLEEDING AND BRUISES, INJURY TO HER EYE, SCRATCHES AND BURNS FROM WHATEVER THE SUBSTANCE WAS IN THE AIR BAGS. SHE SPENT THE DAY IN THE HOSPITAL WITH NUMEROUS TESTS DONE, HAD SOME SURGICAL PROCEDURES DONE, ON MEDICATIONS. SOME OF HER BRUISES RESULTED IN SWELLINGS AND MORE BRUISES. SHE STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO AND IS STILL UNDER THE DOCTORS' CARE. THANK GOD SHE'S ALIVE BUT MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. MY DAUGHTER'S SELF-ESTEEM IS LOW BECAUSE SHE'S HAVING A HARD TIME DEALING WITH THE PAIN, SCARS AND BRUISES. HER SLOW RECOVERY IS STILL AFFECTING HER LOSS FROM WORK AND INCONVENIENCE OF EVEN GETTING TO WORK BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANYHAS DEEMED MY TRUCK A TOTAL LOSS. MY DAUGHTER IS STILL UNDERGOING MORE MEDICAL TREATMENT AND I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON GETTING WELL AND WORK ABOUT THE MEDICAL BILLS LATER. SHE STILL HAS CONSTANT HEADACHES DAILY BECAUSE OF HER HEAD INJURIES AND NOW LIGHT IS AFFECTING HER WHICH CANNOT BE CONTROLLED EVERYWHERE SHE GOES. AS A MOTHER, I HATE TO SEE MY DAUGHTER IN THIS PAIN EVERY DAY, I FEEL HELPLESS. I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE, BUT SHE'S ALWAYS SAD OR CRYING BECAUSE OF THE PAIN. THIS IS NOT FAIR.
