2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

A vehicle was purchased from Pristine Auto Sales in Hopkinsville, KY. Following the purchase, the vehicle was inspected by a licensed mechanic and he reported the following, "I/We ("Licensed Mechanic Shop") inspected "Owner's" 2009 Nissan Rogue vin# XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX today due to her hearing grinding when applying her brake to stop and the vehicle is pulling to the left when applying the brake to stop. I also noticed the airbag light is on as well. Upon inspection the brake pads, the pads in the rear of the vehicle are metal to metal (on the inside) and the front pads are 1mm thick. According to NHTSA vehicles should not be on the road or even be sold from a dealer with brake pads any thinner than 3mm. It is a MAJOR safety concern as it will cause an accident. Also, after inspecting why the airbag light was on, it is found that one or more of the occupant sensors are defective and therefor causing the airbag system to be disabled. In the event of an accident the airbag system will not work. It is also against NHTSA for a vehicle to be sold with a defective Safety system such as Airbag system." The issues were present upon purchase. The purchaser is not knowledgeable about vehicles. Given that the vehicle was sold with the safety concerns already present, it appears that this auto sale business is not in compliance with NHTSA and mechanic has spoken with the business and they were unwilling to cooperate to ensure repairs were made on vehicle.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated, and the "Passenger Air Bag Off" warning message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with occupant sensor unit failure. The front passenger seat and the occupant sensor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer, Nissan of Melbourne (440 S Harbor City Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901) and Mike Erdman Nissan (4640 FL-520, Cocoa, FL 32926) were made aware of the failure and informed the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000. Consumer called 3 different Nissan dealers in our local area (Pat Fischer Nissan, Nissan of Melbourne, and Mike Erdman Nissan) and they concurred you cannot just buy the sensor, you must order the seat which contains the sensor (seat part #873A2JM30B). The list price is $1,630.45—even with Nissan dealer installation, the seat must be ordered and paid for in advance and is not returnable as it is part of the Air Bag System. The labor cost is approximately $230-$250 when you add in additional shop fees and taxes, the total repair cost is in the $2,000 range.

Airbag malfunction light flashes on dashboard. Passenger side airbag deactivated light lit next to gear shift. Have been told that OCS sensor in the passenger seat has malfunctioned.

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

2009 NISSAN ROGUE WITH LESS THAN 60,000 ORIGINAL MILES WON'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PUSHING DOWN THE THROTTLE PEDAL. ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, IT WILL NOT MAINTAIN SPEED NO MATTER HOW MUCH THROTTLE IS APPLIED. RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON-LINE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP TURNED ON OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I STARTED MY CAR.. JUST A REGULAR DAY.. SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR AND THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR 08 AND '14 MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.. HOWEVER THE NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY GET A LOT OF CLIENTS WITH THIS ISSUE FOR 09 MODELS.
