2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE AIRBAG, OR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, FIXED. AFTER OWNING THE ROGUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ( I BOUGHT IT NEW), THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING IN THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HUNDRED (I RECALL IT BEING OVER $500, BUT IT'S SO LONG AGO I MAY BE WRONG)TO FIX IT. I THOUGHT THAT TOO MUCH, BUT WHEN THE TAKATA RECALLS BEGAN, AND PEOPLE BEGAN TO DIE, I BECAME MORE CONCERNED. I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY HOT AND HUMID. THE REALITY IS EITHER THE SENSOR OR THE AIRBAG HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY FROM NEARLY THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT'S OBVIOUSLY FAULTY, AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX IT.

I WAS HEARING & FEELING A NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING SO I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120K MILES BUT DOESN'T BACK THE TRANSFER CASE OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT RELATES TO THIS KNOW ISSUE. THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

ON 6/13/2015 I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING P225/60R17 98H TIRES FROM FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE STORE AND WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED A BUMPING NOISE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I NOTICED A LARGE BLISTER POPPING OUT FROM THE BEAD RIM AREA.I NOTIFIED FIRESTONE MONTH DAY YEAR WERE THERE ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES? YES NO WAS THERE A FIRE:YESNO PROPERTY DAMAGE:YESNOABOUT THE DEFECT AND THEY REPLACED THE TIRE HOWEVER I NOTICED ON MY RECEIPT THEY WROTE THE WRONG DOT PLUG INFORMATION DOWN ON TWO OF THE TIRES ONE BEING THE BAD ONE. I CONTACTED FIRESTONE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FROM AN IMP 1057 CHARACTERS REMAINING FOR DESCRIPTIONACT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS TOTALLY UNTRUE SINCE I WORKED IN THE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS. IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT RIPPED THE BEAD AND NOT MY FAULT. THE TIRE WAS SO BAD THAT IF I HAD AN IMPACT THAT BAD IT WOULD HAVE EFFECTED BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR AS WELL AS DAMAGING THE RIM.I HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC CHECK IT AND HE CONFIRMED WHAT I SAID AND WAS AMAISED I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT BLOWING OUT. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DEFECT THEY NEVER OFFERED ANY COMPENSATION THAT I WAS LUCKY NOR REPLACED THE OTHER TIRE WITH THE WRONG DOT PLUG.I F NEEDED I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES TO PROVE MY CASE. ALSO WHAT IS THE LIKLEYHOOD OF GETTING TWO TIRES WITH THE WRONG DATES? I THINK THEY FORGOT TO CHANGE THE PLUG WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE AND THEY GOT OUT IN THE FIELD. I HAVE TRIED SINCE JUNE TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME COMPENSATION WISE LIKE A NEW SET OF TIRES BUT THE REP I SPOKE TO DID NOTHING SO I TOLD HIM MY NEXT RESORT WAS TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO YOUR AGENCY AND PAY WHATEVER FINES APPLICABLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATIOM WITH THIS MATTER.

VEHICLE STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE WHICH EVENTUALLY WAS FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF SPEED/POWER. ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING WAS REDUCED TO A CRAWL, ALSO GRINDING NOISES AND SHAKING AND VEHICLE WANTING TO STALL. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE AS I AM FEARFUL OF DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND STILL OWE $6500, AND A NEW TRANSMISSION RUNNING APPROX $3000 THE EXPENSE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. NISSAN KNOWINGLY SOLD VEHICLES TO CONSUMERS TO FILL THEY'RE POCKETS PUTTING ALL AT RISK AND FAIL TO SUPPORT THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

MY CAR HAD A LOST POWER DRIVING BACK FROM ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY CAR IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK SAFE BUT I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CVT. I REALLY SUCKS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR RIGHT NOW.

"DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS" I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO HAVE A LIGHT KNOCKING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN ENGINE CHECKED. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THAT I FELL UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOT WITH CURRENT MILEAGE 131,099. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HEAR THE NOISE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION NOT WHEN IT'S STATIONARY.

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TANS GOING UP HILL ITS LIKE IT QUITS PULLING AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIT IS ON AND IT WANT CHANGE LIKE IT SHOULD TOOK IT THE DEALER HAD IT IN THE SHOP BEFORE TWICE AND THEY SAID IT FIXED IT WAS LEAKING FLUID FROM THE TRANS. AND NOW THIS HAPPENS GUEST SOME ONE HAVE TO GET HEART OR KILLED BEFORE SOME ONE MAKES NISSAN FIXES THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLES WHEN THEY STOP WORKING THEY OUR A PROBLEM WITH IT I SEE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND STILL NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING WHY.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THEY RESET IT AND TOLD ME THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IF THE PASSENGER HAD THEIR SEATBELT ON. I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH THEIR SEATBELT ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT THAT STATES #2 PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. NISSAN HAD TOLD BE BEFORE THEY RESET THE SENSOR THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPLACE THE CUSHION WITH THE SENSOR IN IT. I DONT KNOW IF I BELIEVE THE CAR OR NISSAN, WILL THE AIRBAG DEPLOY OR NOT. I DONT HAVE $1000 TO REPLACE CUSHION AND WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME SORRY YOUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL OUT FOR THIS AIRBAG. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A PASSENGER IN MY CAR NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR NOT. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE GETTING HURT OR WORSE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

THE CURRENT AIRBAG FAULT IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE LATE MODEL ROGUE SEAT CUSHION SWITCH FAULT RECALL, BUT OUR MODEL VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE WERE STONE WALLED AT CAR PRO'S BURIEN NISSAN IN WASHINGTON STATE. THEY WERE HAPPY TO OFFER A $2000 FIX EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED AFTER ONLY 8K MILES. WE WERE APPALLED AT THEIR CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR OUR SAFETY ESPECIALLY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT WAS A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALER DUE TO HEAVY BUSINESS TRAVEL AT THE TIME. BASICALLY WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND A CAR WITHOUT FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS FOR YEARS NOW WHILE WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO EXTEND TO OUR VEHICLE!

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT A NISSAN ROGUE IN 2008. SOON AFTERWARD THE SENSOR WENT OFF TO TELLS US THE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS OFF. THAT LIGHT HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT WAS FAULTY, AND IT WOULD COST OVER $500 TO FIX. I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO MUCH, AND I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. IT'S BEEN BROKEN/FLASHING EVER SINCE. WHEN THE RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS BEGAN, I RECOGNIZED THAT MY CAR WAS SUFFERING FROM THE COMMON COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAGS, AND SINCE PEOPLE WERE DYING I WAS CONCERNED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT 2008 ROGUES WERE PART OF THE RECALL, SO I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN, BUT THEY SAID MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, THOUGH MANY 2008 ROGUES WERE. I THEN CALLED NHTSA'S VEHICLE HOTLINE, AND THE PERSON RECOMMEND I CALL A CORPORATE NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN NUMBER (1-800-647-7261). I TALKED TO A NICE WOMAN WHO SAID SHE WOULD TURN IN MY COMPLAINT AND SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME THE NEXT DAY. A MAN CALLED AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT MY ROGUE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL AND THAT NISSAN, THEREFORE, WOULD NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM. I'M PARTICULARLY WORRIED AS I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY MOIST, AND THIS SEEMS TO INCREASE THE RISK OF THE AIRBAG GOING OFF. WHETHER IT'S A TAKATA ARIBAG OR NOT, THIS WAS CLEARLY A FAULTY PRODUCT, SO I FEEL IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE DEALER.
