Incident

Vehicle was involved in crash on 4/11/2023. the vehicle left the right side of the road, driver overcorrected and lost control of vehicle and vehicle flipped 3 times before ending up on the roof, slid into an embankment on opposite side of the road which sent it airborne back into the highway. the vehicle is a complete loss, damage all the way around the car, all glass except drivers side window was busted out, front end was 60 yards down the road, motor mounts broke and motor moved, wheels broken, doors were moved and crushed in spots, roof and frame bent, etc. Driver lived thankfully. The major problem is that all the airbags deployed (curtain bags all the way around, both seat airbags) EXCEPT the steering wheel airbag and the passenger dash air bag. These are the 2 major airbags that should have deployed ina collision like this. I want Nissan to investigate why these did not employ.

The passenger side airbag light never goes off no matter who is sitting in the seat I think the weight sensor in the seat is broken. I just noticed that the light wasn't off when I had an adult in the passenger seat one day and still is the same. The light is sopost to go off if someone is in the seat. The light has been like this for over a year now.

The airbag light is flashing and my husband has tried the solution that was told would stop it. Did not work. Had the car put on a scanner and the results were the passenger seat airbag has a defective part. Dealership wants over 2000.00 to fix problem. It was a recall for the problem but doesn't include the year 2010. I don't have money to have this fixed. Safety issues don't have airbag on passenger side...

The airbag light on the dash started flashing indication something has a malfunction and the light showing passenger airbag is off. The vehicle was taken to Larry Miller Nissan for a $176 diagnostic. They related the passenger sensor for the airbag had failed in the seat cushion and the airbag would not deploy in an accident to protect the passenger. They said $2,526.69 is the cost to fix the problem. This is obviously a safety issue and should be corrected by the manufacturer. This started approximately 10 days ago. The vehicle was taken in on the earliest date available. Is the manufacturer responsible for making sure the airbags function properly in the event of an accident? Thank you

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. BROUGHT IT TO AN AUTO MECHANIC WHO RESET IT, RAN CODE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNIT IN PASSENGER SEAT WAS THE CODE IT WAS THROWING. TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT SENDING THE RIGHT SIGNAL TO THE AIRBAG. TO FIX THE PROBLEM IT WOULD COST ME $2500.00 TO GET A BRAND NEW SEAT WITH THE OCS UNIT. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT STOP FLASHING AND RESETTING IT DOES NO GOOD. I NOW HAVE NO AIRBAG FOR PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THESE VEHICLES HAD RECALLS ON THIS SYSTEM FOR THE YEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLES FROM 2008 TO 2016 WITH THESE SYTEMS WERE AFFECTED. VEHICLES WITH VIN NUMBERS JN8AS5.....I CHECKED FOR A RECALL ON MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE AND FOUND NONE, YET I AM READING THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON 2010. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY HASN'T SOMEONE ADDRESSED THIS SAFETY ISSUE?? IT WILL COST ME $2500.00 TO FIX THIS AND IF I DO NOT FIX THIS MY CAR WILL BE WORTH CONSIDERABLY LESS. I STILL OWE $5,000.00!!! I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED. THIS HAPPENED AT AROUND 105000 MILES. NO ACCIDENT OR LARGE BUMP, ALL ON ITS' OWN.

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MARCH 15, 2018. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND THE SIDE 'CURTAIN' AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON BOTH SIDES FOR NO REASON. NO ONE ELSE WAS AROUND...NOTHING FELL ON THE CAR. THE CAR WASN'T DAMAGED IN ANY WAY EXCEPT THE AIRBAGS. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME - SO I DROVE IT HOME. I WAS NOT PHYSICALLY INJURED. THE CAR SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I WAIT FOR A DECISION FROM NISSAN AS TO WHETHER IT WAS THEIR FAULT OR NOT. (I DO NOT KNOW WHO'S FAULT IT IS...ARE THESE TAMARA AIRBAGS? I DO NOT KNOW. I DO KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT IT IS NOT MY FAULT!). MY INSPECTION IS SET FOR APRIL 5, 2018. I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE INSPECTION SITE BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO EVEN SIT IN THE SEAT. I DO NOT HAVE ANY PAPERWORK PERTAINING TO THIS INCIDENT AS OF TODAY - MARCH 26, 2018 *TT

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY NISSAN ROGUE IN FOR INSPECTION ON NOV. 30, 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE REJECTED FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I THEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $250 TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THAT WOULD BE I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT DOES MY SERVICE AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT NISSAN HAD STATED TO THEM THAT IT WAS ON RECALL. I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED SINCE THAT WAS NEVER STATED TO ME WHEN I WAS THERE. SO I RETURNED TO NISSAN AND THEN WAS TOLD NO SORRY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A RECALLED ITEM ON MILLIONS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, IT WAS NOT ON MY VEHICLES. IT WOULD BE $2300 JUST FOR THE PART TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WAS BEING TOLD TO ME. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. AND WAS TOLD AFTER SEVERAL CALLS THAT SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANTY ANY LONGER THAT THE "RECALLED ITEM" WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I AM TRULY CONFUSED IT A KNOWN ITEM IS RECALLED ON MILLIONS OF VEHICLES I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS NOT ON MY VEHICLE. I KNOW IF AN ITEM IS RECALLED AND KNOWN TO BE FAULTY HOW CAN THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY WE CAN'T REPAIR IT UNLESS YOU PAY ABOUT $3000. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL PERSONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I REALLY NEED YOU TO HELP WITH THIS. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN JUST DISREGARD THIS. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER.

THE STEERING COLUMN COIL FAILED, CAUSING AIR BAG TO BECOME FAULTY AND POWER STEERING TO FAIL. ABILITY OF THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THEN, AFTER "REPAIRING" THE STEERING COLUMN COIL, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS RELATED ISSUE. THESE ISSUES IMPACT ABILITY OF DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, ABILITY TO TURN AND STEER.
