I was making a left hand turn when another driver hit me. My entire front end is destroyed and the airbags never deployed. My husband and I both suffered head injuries due to the airbags not deploying.

About at least half of the time that the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult, the indicator light is on saying that the passenger side airbag is turned off. The VIN has no current recalls so it appears that the previous owner must have taken care of the previously issued recall for this problem, yet it is still continuing. It has happened at all speeds.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 36,000 miles
There was an accident where the car was hit in the front left drivrs side, damage from the door all the way to the front. Car was pushed quite a few feet into another car. The air bags didn't go off. Head and face made contact with the drivers side window. The other car involved deployed the airbags. Our vehicle was in motion on a city street going straight. Consumer stated we received word on Friday October 11th that the car cannot be fixed and is a total loss. We brought it to the walser glass and collision in bloomington Minnesota. Our insurance company, esurance, is going to send the car to be held at a scrap yard while the finalize the total loss. I am attaching photos of the accident and the car.

The passenger airbag off light turns on when passenger is seated and the light turns off when seat is empty. This seems like a very big safety issue since the airbag will not go activate when someone is seated.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. On several occasions, when the front passenger seat was occupied, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Nissan of casper (located at 111 SE Wyoming blvd, casper, wy 82609, (307) 462-5260) where the contact was informed to keep objects from under the seat. The contact was also informed that she might not weigh enough, which could have caused the indicator to illuminate. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle may have been repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 16V244000 (air bags) or 16V911000 (air bags). The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000.

Rogue

  • 45,000 miles
The SRS light on my 2016 Nissan Rogue went on. When I took it to the dealership, they told me they need to replace the airbag to try and solve the issue which is very costly. They told me there is a 50/50 chance this will fix the problem. I have an extended warranty which excludes anything to do with the airbag system. The airbag system should not be having issues this early on in the car's life. There has been no accident/collision. I definitely think this has to be a defect with the car itself. And I'm responsible for the costs out of pocket. This is clearly a safety issue.

Rogue

  • 14,000 miles
Last year I was rearended while waiting to make a left hand turn and my airbag didn't deploy. The impact of the accident was hard enough that my L-5 vertebrae was broken and displaced a centimeter away from severing my spinal cord. It didn't occur to me until my deposition and the lawyers were asking me why the airbag didn't deploy that there could be a problem. I was sitting stationary on hwy 80 E in statesboro Georgia waiting to make a left turn into babcock and more home furnishings when I was struck from behind. There is no turn lane it's a 4 lane highway and I was in the left lane with my turn signal in.

Rogue

  • 41,000 miles
While entering a left turn lane (unsure of speed as was slowing for the red light), vehicle bumped a curb on the driver's side. Did not go over it, brushed against it. No body damage except some scraping on the rims of the wheels. The tires remained inflated. However, the sensor detected it as a side impact, and driver's side airbags (not the steering wheel, just the side) deployed, injuring and disorienting the driver. Vehicle was under control, and driver was in no danger until airbags deployed. Was taken to dealership where they asserted that the sensor acted properly as there may have been a roll over (then shouldn't all of the airbags deployed?). the sensor is way too sensitive and dangerous as I was severely disoriented (and may have briefly lost consciousness) from the airbags and am lucky that I or someone else was not more seriously injured. Following the incident, the insurance agent, the tow truck driver, etc. Were shocked that the airbags had deployed in this situation. Brushing curbs is well within the normal parameters of driving and should not have caused the airbags to go off.

The airbags on my 2016 Nissan Rogue never deployed. I was driving 65 mph on the highway when I had a sneezing spell. My eyes closed and my arm jerked the wheel during the spell. My car turned into the breakdown lane off the side of the highway. It happened so fast that I never even applied the brakes. My car plowed through the thick woods and trees for over 500ft at full highway speed.. finally coming to rest after making head on contact with a big tree. When my car was being towed out of woods, the tow tuck driver found the airbag sensor broken off underneath the car. I have included several pics from the accident scene and from the tow yard where my car was brought. You can clearly see the damage to the car from the force of the impact. The resulting damage resulted in the car being a total loss with insurance company. Pictures showing the inside of the car reflect the fact no airbags ever went off. I also included a picture showing the broken off sensor sitting on my hood. By the grace of god I was not seriously hurt in the crash. But I and reporting the crash because the next person may not be so lucky. There clearly in a design flaw. You would think if the sensor brakes off, that would automatically release the airbags. Clearly not the case in my accident.

Front passenger air bag disabled light intermittently turns on, indicating air bag is disabled, while that seat is occupied. This occurs while in motion, and at any arbitrary time or speed. There is a similar recall on this, but evidently this vehicle is not included, as it is listed as no recalls.
