My airbag light started flashing and when i had a passenger riding in the front seat, the airbag sensor would never go to on. This is a huge safety issue being this means the airbag will not deploy- ever- because it does not ever sense someone sitting there. There was a recall of my exact make and model but of course not my vin#. Now, the state of hawaii will not let me pass my safety inspection- because they are…

2008 nissan rogue airbag dashboard light signaled there was a problem on the dashboard. Dealer (nissan chesapeake, located in chesapeake, va) stated the airbag diode was completely defective and the airbags could no longer deploy.

I have been requesting nissan replace the seat cushion in my rogue since they inspected it in 2015. They have refused. Now i see there is a recall, air bag occupant classification system (ocs), and i have never been notified and do not see my vehicle in the recall notifications!!!!! I needs my seat cushion replaced, or the air bag sensor will not activate the airbag in a collision. I have been the only owner of this…

Shortly after purchasing a used 2008 nissan rogue the airbag light came on. From researching the matter online, it seems that many 2007-2008 nissan vehicles were recalled for a faulty sensor in the passenger seat that cannot detect when anyone is sitting in that seat - in other words, not an issue with the airbag but with the seat sensor. However, the dealership we purchased the used vehicle from says our vin number…

As reported by many other 2008 nissan rogue owners, the passenger side airbag sensor light was flashing, indicating a non-functional airbag (the entire airbag system, driver's side included, we found out later). This particular vehicle was not one of the 200,000+ vehicles recalled (08v521000) for the very same issue with the ocs (occupant classification system). The only fix, according to the dealer (and the…

I have called the nissan recall line to put a complaint on my nissan, rouge, recall no. Ntb08-095a and did not want to accept my claim since they state that my vehicle does not apply under this recall. My vehicle has this specific defect with the air bag and nissan has stated clearly that they are wanting to fix this air bag (ocs) problem. This is a major safety issue that my vehicle has, on the passenger side air…

Air bag light started blinking out of nowhere. Didn't think much of it because my sentra did this before too, but stopped. Finally brought it in because it wasn't going off and told by mechanic that there is a short in the spiral cable that will not deploy air bag. Electrical shorts can also cause fires. Nissan is refusing to fix it because it is not a current recall and we are just past warranty now - even though…

Air bag light came on, and remains on. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and they said it would cost $1,800 to repair, an indicator in the passenger seat was not working. I did ask about recalls, and they stated there were none. It seems there may have been a recall under nhtsa campaign number 08v521000. However, my vin was not included in the recall because "the part was manufactured at a different plant". I…

I was driving down the interstate when my airbag warning light started flashing, and the "airbag off" indicator lit up for the passenger side airbag. After doing some research i discovered that this problem was possibly related to the ocs sensor malfunctioning, and that this was a known issue with a recall (08v521000). I called the recall center and was told that my car was not covered under this recall, and that i…

I noticed air bag light flashing in dash panel about a month ago. Had the car serviced at firestone, suggested i take it to a dealer. I also noticed the passenger seat air bag sensor says "pass airbag not on" even when i have a passenger. I did a computer search to see what the problem could be (possibly minor, take it to autozone). Unfortunately, there are quite a few rogue owners that had the same issue, and also…

The shop diagnosis was that the front passenger seat airbag sensor had malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. Evidently, the sensor is imbedded in the bottom seat cushion requiring the replacement of the cushion. Without replacement, the airbag will not engage. The…

Twice during april 2014 my 2008 rogue was at the dealer to diagnose why passenger airbag light would not shut off. Was told by dealer that the code was in the past tense and they could not do any diagnostic testing since it was not an active code (b1018). Without doing any testing, i was told that to fix the problem they would need to replace the passenger front seat cushion ($2,500). Was told that nissan recall…
