I am the owner of a 2017 Nissan Rogue SV FWD. Bought the vehicle back in October 2022 with a clear history with no prior accidents reported on the vehicle. Recently while driving to work, my brakes on my 2017 Nissan Rogue suddenly braked or locked up without me pressing the brake pedal. There was no vehicles in ahead of me nor in back of me yet still the brakes engaged. This has caused my 2017 Nissan Rogue to lose traction and hydroplane across the lanes on the freeway and in doing so sending me crashing into the concrete barrier in the medium. It has been raining that day and while it was raining at the time of the incident, me hydroplaning unexpectedly was inevitable. The impact with the concrete barrier send me careening backward to now face the oncoming traffic that were behind me more than two hundred feet away. I look to the dash and discovered the "automatic braking" light on. Not wanting to get struck by oncoming drivers, I managed to move my vehicle to a safe location and turn the engine off. I like to also add that the driver side airbag on the 2017 Nissan Rogue DID NOT deploy from the impact. No drivers or other vehicles were struck damaged or impact from the incident. I have started a claim on the night of the incident and my vehicle is currently being inspected by my insurance agent.

August 2022 Passenger Vehicle Seat Belt system light came on, concern was if the seat belt would work when occupied. Vehicle was taken to Baytown Nissan for Passenger seat belt light malfunction, was advised to replace the Occupant Control Unit and Occupant Pressure Sensor with Callibration 3.0. The light eventually corrected itself. August 2023 The Passenger Airbag Light stayed on and says the Airbag is turned off when someone is seated in the vehicle, concern is occupant safety. Took vehicle to Baytown Nissan for diagnostic, code is b00a0 module malfunction, again advised to replace OCS Control and Callibrate. I have seen previous recalls on air bag malfunctions and would like to know why this is not a safety recall. This is my fourth Nissan vehicle and never had this problem and the other vehicles were older.

Before the 3 year warranty on car ran out. When we brought car into dealership for oil changes and checkups we mentioned that passenger side airbag light was going on and off. Brought back into dealership after 3 years and asked them to repair passenger side air bag that was staying on constantly...the dealership said that they wanted at least $600 to repair or try to fix it and they said they had no record of our complaints listed for our car! left dealership with no work done due to we did not have funds for that. Took our car in 11/2022 to an auto repair service shop and they ran a diagnostic and recalaber on this problem. Nothing worked at the cost of $265. Was told by both places that passenger front side airbag could or could not work..no way of telling unless air bags were deployed. Told to take back to dealership and have them do work.....like check wiring under seats etc. Do other Nissan Rogue owners have this same problem?

My air bag light was on, so I took it in and they said that it was an umbrella that was the problem which I have never heard of. So now I can't put anything in the back seat. After that the light kept going on and off now it's on all the time. So they said that it would cost me thousands of dollars to fix. I think it's a line so they don't have to fix it. My rogue is 2017 and only has 20000 miles.I think there's a problem with the air bags lights.

I was driving along East Passaic Bloomfield, New Jersey it-€™s a double Saul line two-lane roadway with four major exits into it Garden State Parkway etc. the person in front of me turn left over the Saul lines into a driveway, then put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway, straight across the double Saul lines to his house on the same side as he was going south right in front of my car this roadway is like a highway. The car went into a skid which it shouldn-€™t have. right in front of my car this roadway is like a highway. The car went into a skid which it should know with the antilock brake system, and upon contact the airbags did that a ploy deploy And upon contact airbags, didn-€™t deploy my wife, and I have to -€" my knees hit the dashboard. The person that caused the accident his company with State Farm and they put me at 15% liability which is totally wrong. I was sick at the time when they were going over the money they took thousands of dollars from me now my car is destroyed. They paid me to fix it, which doesn-€™t even cover the cost of the repairs. The car would have not gotten into the accident if it didn-€™t skid I would have been able to stop. I need Nissan to do something either replace this car or repair it because the accident should not have occurred. Airbags did not deploy and we got hurt. I-€™m not looking a lawsuit nothing like that. I want my car just fixed or replaced and the car does have recalls for electrical and other problems

My wife and I were driving down the street 2017 Nissan rogue. Number two driver illegally backed across double solid yellow line to go into his driveway. I hit the brakes the car started to skid at 30 miles an hour with antilock brake system should-€™ve kicked in upon the crash. The airbags did not deploy and airbags. Come out anywhere from 8 miles an hour on I was a mechanic for a long time my wife banged up her shoulder and her back and I-€™m disabled as it is and I hurt my legs really bad, banging against the dashboard, the driver from the other car insurance paid us some money but it was even close to what it be for the repairs and I do not let them know about the airbags or the antilock brake system. This was very bad if we were at high speed we would have been killed. I did not document this anywhere. I did not put it on social media. I-€™m keeping it to myself for now, I have films in pictures of how the action occurred and the gentleman is still backing into the driveway. State farm blame me 15%. They scammed me I-€™ve been very sick I was in essential worker under the governor of New Jersey or Hackensack Meridian, Genewiz labs and Terry-€™s pharmacy that I made sure people got their medication-€˜s where others would not deliver or bring to them. I actually became very ill and now I walk with a walker. I-€™m a disabled man with a wrecked car. I have a very high car payment that I can afford and I need help with this. I think Nissan should replace this car. It is dangerous. This car is dangerous and it has a recall for the water leak through the electrical that I smelt burning a couple times when it rains. This car is a fire bowl waiting to happen but like I said, I-€™m not posting on social media and not letting no insurance companies know about it.

Beginning of September 2022 the warning light for passenger side airbags came on. This error causes all airbags to shut off. I-95 Nissan said a new sensor was needed. I had to pay in full for part. They said part was back ordered. When I asked for a loaner car saying my car wasn-€™t safe I was told -€œIt-€™s a safe car, just drive carefully -€ and -€œLots of cars on the road don-€™t have airbags-€. Every week I was told no ETA for part. I took car to private mechanic who verified issue. Filed a report with Nissan corporation, they still have no ETA for part. It has been almost 3 months of no airbags and NO help from Nissan. This car is only 5 years old. This is unacceptable. The response from Nissan is negligent. I have no other option but to drive this car. I can-€™t afford a new car!

Passenger air bag light is on. Took to my local dealership for an oil change and for them to look/fix the warning light or air bag for the passenger side front seat bag. Told them I have mentioned the light coming on and off when my car was under warranty in the past. Was told by Nissan service person that they have no record of problem. They wanted over $600 for oil change, and fixing warning light (plus they said I needed all the fluids in my car changed). We don't have $600 plus for problem that should be fixed by Nissan. We left and did not have repairs done. I am worried that air bag won't deploy if there is an accident.

Air bag sensor light displayed. Took to the Nissan Dealership and the initial diagnosis was a reset of the sensors. Within a couple days the air bag sensor light displayed again. I took the vehicle back to the Nissan dealer, and was advised that occupant sensor unit failure and both sensors and control unit needed to be replaced. These types of saftey equipment should not fail in a vehicle that is only 5 years old. I read a report that this defect was part of a recall.

The passenger side airbag occupancy sensor is not working and therefore the airbag will not work. This is the same issue with other Nissan Rogue-€™s and a recall in this same year and yet our VIN is not included. It is very likely that cars have been missed on this recall as there is no other reason for this part to not be working.

The OCS system has failed in my car. The passenger airbags are constantly turned off, even when a full sized adult is in the passenger seat, therefore putting them at risk if a crash were to occur. The yellow light indicating that the passenger airbag system is turned off is constantly on, as well as the red light on the dashboard indicating an airbag problem. These constant warning lights began May 19, 2022. I have not yet taken the vehicle in to be inspected. I have researched this issue, and it does seem to be a problem among Nissan Rogues.

Passenger airbag sensor defective and doesn't work. Driver side seat is loose. These are safety issues and I shouldn't have to pay $3k to have them fixed especially when other 2017 rogues have had recalls for same problems, just different lots. Can't afford to fix and can't buy something new.
