| Nhtsa previously conducted a recall on 2008 nissan rogues for problems with the passenger seat sensor not connecting properly with the srs, making the srs indicator flash and rendering the passenger airbag useless. i purchased my rogue used a little over a year ago, and when the problem arose, checked your database to find if there was a recall. the nissan customer service folks tell me that my vin is not associated with the recall. a brief search on google hoping to help me figure out how much this repair would cost, indicates that i am not the only rogue owner affected by this. i wonder if the recall was sufficiently broad. it is possible that this malfunctioned on its own, but wanted to make you aware. | |||

| My wife and i leased a 2008 nissan rouge two years ago. an issue has since transpired. in october of 2009 we noticed that the passanger airbag light occassionally goes on regardless of the size of the person sitting there. this light indicates that the airbag is off. we took it to nissan and they could not duplicate the problem. over this last year the issue continues to arise. i decided to take the vehicle in this past monday with a routine check. prior to my dropping the vehicle off i decided to record it on my phone as we were driving seeing as though i could not bring the car to the dealership as soon as it was happening. after the car was there for a few hours, i got a call back saying that there is nothing wrong with the car and they are ready to release. i am still not comfortable driving the vehicle so i left it there and call customer affairs. finally after 4 days, they returned my call. they indicated that they spoke to the shop and are not authorizing any repairs or paying for the rental vehicle as they could not duplicate the problem. they are refusing to fix this issue and are saying that my 125 lb wife may be too light to activate the bag sensor. | |||
