2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP SIGN, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ITS REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIR BAGS EXPLODED AND EMITTED SMOKE AND DUST. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, BUT ALL THE PASSENGERS REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AFTER ALL THE PASSENGERS HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN DRIVE AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF A THIRD VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD AND WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CODE WAS RESET; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIED SPEED THE ROGUE WILL REFUSE TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WILL RISE, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT GO NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES AND WHEN I RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUES WITH ROGUES OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS DUE TO THIS ISSUES.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IN 2008. I'M ON THE 3RD TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR. EACH TIME THE SAME THING GOES WRONG. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT ON A LONGER THAN 2 HOUR TRIP, IT LOSES POWER. ON 7-23-16 ON A 400 MILE TRIP, HALF WAY INTO THE TRIP IT STARTS TO SLOWLY LOSE POWER. THE FASTEST I CAN GO IS 60 MPH. GOING UP HILLS IT'S ABOUT 45MPH AT FULL SPEED. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER 2 TRANSMISSIONS. NOW I HAVE 128,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IS IT STILL A FREE REPLACEMENT ON THE TRANSMISSION? I PROBABLY ONLY HAVE ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON THIS LATEST TRANSMISSION. MY QUESTION IS, WILL THE DEALER REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCS SENSOR AND AIR PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS AIR BAG ICON FLASHING ON THE DASH BOARD IN RED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS A RECALL REPORTED BACK IN OCTOBER 2008. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER, 2008 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS RECALL DOES NOT POP UP BASED ON MY VIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL REPAIR MAN SAID IN ORDER TO FIX THIS, I HAVE TO CHANGE WHOLE SEAT WHICH COULD COST ME ABOUT $2000. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE THIS ISSUE. I AM SURE ANY SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSANUSA. IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING AND KILLED BY THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT POP UP, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN.

IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR REVS UP WITH NO APPLIED ACCELERATION. IT WILL SLOW DOWN TO 45 MPH AND I'LL HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD CUT IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT FOR ANOTHER 30-45 MILES AND REPEAT. IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS BC THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I'VE READ A LOT OF FORUMS AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN MOST NISSANS. NOT JUST THE ROGUE. I FEEL AS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ON IMMEDIATE RECALL.

JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, SHE STATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THE FLASHING PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS "NO PROBLEM". DESPITE 2 EFFORTS ON HER PART TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, IT CONTINUES TO FLASH. WORRIED THAT THE SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT.

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 VERY WELL OF THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. SO I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION- TO THE TUNE OF OVER $2000! I WROTE TO NISSAN CORPORATE WHO BASICALLY TOLD ME TO SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING. THIS IS A JOKE & I AM CERTAIN WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE SINCE MY STATE HAS DEEMED IT UNSAFE- OR MY OTHER OPTION IS TO PAY 1/3 OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS ALREADY KNOWN & THERE ARE 100S OF COMPLAINTS. I HOPE YOU GUYS MOVE THIS ALONG BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO MAKE A CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE, PAY OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT, OR PAY IT OFF AND JUNK THE CAR, SINCE I CANNOT SELL AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WON'T PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION. NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE EXACTLY GREAT FOR ME. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS & SEEMS MORE LIKE A WAY FOR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO INCREASE PROFITS. I HOPE YOU MOVE QUICKLY ON THIS BEFORE INNOCENT LIVES ARE TAKEN BY A KNOWN FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. NOT TO MENTION, I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO EITHER PAY THE $2000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR TO JUNK MY CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY PENALTIES! I'M GLAD MY OWN STATE CAN SEEM THIS COMPLETELY UNSAFE BUT NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED? WHAT IF I FIX IT- WILL I BE REIMBURSED IF THERE FINALLY IS A RECALL? THIS HAS PUT ME IN SUCH A TERRIBLE PLACE! PLEASE HELP!
