Rogue 4-cyl

  • 45,506 miles
As I was pulling onto freeway around 55-60 mph, the passenger air bag blinks on and off. It does this continually. I pulled over and turned off ignition of vehicle for over 15 minutes. Once I started vehicle again, same thing.

Rogue

  • 4,702 miles
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag sensor flashed and indicated that it was deactivated. The first two times the vehicle was taken to the dealer the failure codes were cleared, but the failure recurred. When taken back a third time, the dealer replaced the front passenger seat; however, the failure recurred. On the fourth visit, the dealer cleared the failure code, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back a fifth time, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 4,702.

Passenger airbag light keep going on and off while on a trip 150 miles away from home. Called the dealer service dept. And they said they could lower the sensor to recognize me (104 lbs) to make an appt. Called on 7/21/14 to schedule apt and was told by someone else that it was against the law to lower the weight sensors and that nothing could be done. Dangerous and ridiculous.

Passenger 2 airbag light at times does not register when my 74 lb daughter is sitting in the seat but it will register if my purse is in the seat. At times it will flash on and off then stay off. Yesterday 5/6/14 I ran errands then when I went to get my daughter from school. The check engine (malfunction indication light as called in vehicle book) came on. I took the vehicle to auto zone and the test shows its the oxygen sensor. Was advised to check upstream & downstream sensors as well as catalytic converter since these can cause damage to it as well. I should mention the employee telling me this built Nissan vehicles for 23 yrs. Today I have an appt at the Nissan dealership. I've only had this vehicle 3 months = not happy.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 11,400 miles
While traveling with an 85 pound passenger in the passenger seat the passenger side airbag light will illuminate for approximately 10-15 minutes indicating that the passenger side airbag is "off". it will then flicker back on and off again. The passenger is not moving around in the seat, and seatbelt is use properly. I tested my theory that the airbag light was malfunctioning by having a 50 pound child sit in the seat, without movement, while the car was stationary. The light came on, again indicating that the passenger side airbag was "off" and then within 2-3 minutes flickered back into the "on" setting indicating that it would deploy if in a wreck. I contacted the dealership to ask of weight restriction and although they didn't know the information off hand, I am to take it in for service.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 9,000 miles
During cold weather (below 20 deg F.), the car sometimes can not detect if an adult is sitting in the passenger seat and it disengages the air bag. During really cold days (below 0 deg F.) it senses a non-adult sitting in the passenger seat but, the seat is empty.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 11,000 miles
The 2013 Nissan Rogue I was driving was struck a glancing blow starting from the center front through the driver's front left quarter panel and door. The frontal impact was strong enough to break the front support extruded steel brace in three places and decimate the grill, light, bumper, quarter panel and door skin. There are two problems I would like to report. One the side impact and seat air bags did not deploy at all; however the driver's air bag did deploy slowly after the impact. It did not completely deploy until after I exited the vehicle. The second issue is that while the seat belt prevented me from going through the windshield, the mechanism in the seatbelt is also destroyed. The vehicle that struck me had their air bags to fully deploy. Please look into this as I understand there was a recall on the 2011 - 2012 models. Thank you...updated 11/13/14 updated 7/28/2015

Rogue

Well my car is in the shop for repairs to my passenger airbag sensor for the 5th time and again the loaner they gave me (a different from the first Rogue that had this same problem) has the passenger air bag off switch on while an adult is sitting in the seat. I have a video of this vehicle, 2 videos of the first Rogue that was given to me, and have 3 videos of my Altima still doing it. I just received a phone call that my car was staying longer than expected because they replaced the sensors but now can not get them to set or reset. Nissan has a truly big problem with these sensors and the government needs to make them do a recall on all the sensors!

While I took my car into the shop for an airbag issue I am having. The loaner car which is the 2013 Nissan Rogue has the same problem. While driving with an adult in the passenger seat the passenger airbag switch turns off. I have video evidence of this for this vehicle. 2 videos of 2 separate occasions. And 4 videos of my 2013 Altima doing the same thing. Even with me sitting in the seat at 180lbs the light switch would turn off. This is a very big safety issue and Nissan needs to have it fixed!
