Rogue 4-cyl

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.

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.

My Nissan Rogue 2009 passenger airbag warning light is now blinking> I took it to a repair shop and they said the seat sensor has went bad. I understand that this is the exact issue as the ntb08-095 recall affecting the 2008 Nissan Rogue but it is not covered for the 2009. This warning alert was reset, but it didn't work. The estimated cost to fix this is $2000.

Passenger side airbag light stays on. Reset by dealer, and back on within a day or two. Dealer now says they have traced this back to a faulty sensor in the seat cushion, and the cost of the part alone is over $2000 this is a major safety issue, there a numerous complaints on here for various years of Rogues. And that is just from the people who have taken the time to voice concern.

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

Takata recall - flashing air bag dash light renders the air bag system susceptible to failure. Exact same issue with 2008 and 2010 model Nissan Rogue covered under recall. Why not 2009 model?! issue a recall for 2009 model Nissan Rogue to fix this issue by year end.

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).
