problem #21

Jun 272018

Rogue

  • 64,000 miles
Frontal impact caused airbags to deploy except the passenger front (no passenger) and the passenger rear side (passenger present). Nissan claims no deployment of side airbag is because no direct "T-bone" impact on passenger side of vehicle was sensed. Nissan also claims that the driver side airbag did properly because it sensed a potential rollover situation. Nissan was moving on city street and hit (T-boned) a truck pulling a heavy loaded trailer that ran a red light. Rear passenger side airbag should have deployed!

Vehicle in the shop for a major oil leak, 2 key fobs don't work, recall, leaking sunroof, and last but not least air bag light flashing. Quoted 3500 to replace seat/module, 350. For oil issue, 1400. Sunroof. I inherited this car in 2013 when my mother passed away and it only has 20000 miles on it. I could buy another newer used car at this rate!! this is rediculous for a vehicle with so low miles to have this many issues. At this rate I will never purchase or recommend Nissan again. Please advise. Thanks, deb

Rogue

  • 35,100 miles
A few week ago when I started the car the air bag light on dashboard started flashing. Took it to the dealer and after diagnosis he said that airbag sensor has to be replaced and it is not covered under warranty. The car has only 35100 miles. It should be covered under warranty. It is dangerous to drive the car with the airbag light flashing. It should be on recall.

We were driving and slide to side of road hit nothing and side airbags deployed the front airbags didn't deploy hit nothing and had to be repaired 6,000 damage but no wreck I don't understand why the repair shop checked for recalls but none.
