2008 Nissan Rogue

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ROGUE IN 2010. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING IT A RED WARNING LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE DASH INDICATING AN AIRBAG PROBLEM. A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT DETERMINES IF SOMEONE IS SEATED THERE OR NOT. I WAS UNABLE TO AFFORD A NEW SENSOR. I CHECKED NHTSA RECALLS AND LOCATED RECALL# 08V521000. WHILE THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM MY NISSAN ROGUE IS EXPERIENCING, PER MY VIN, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING AND PASSENGER AIRBAG DISENGAGED LIGHT ON WHEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCE WITH A PASSENGER. THERE IS A RECALL NTB08-95 BUT NISSAN TELLS ME IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY PRODUCTION RUN. BUT MY CAR IS DEMONSTRATING THIS PROBLEM JUST AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL. RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY PRODUCTION RUN. BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALER 10-27-20, IT WILL COST $3200.00 TO REPLACE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION JUST AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN.

I PURCHASE MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE BRAND NEW AND 4 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STILL ON TODAY AS WELL AS MY SEAT BELT LIGHT. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN MISUSED OR ABUSED AND THE AIRBAG SHOULD LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN FOR 2007-2009 FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM REF# NTB08-095A THAT INCLUDED THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AND A LIST OF OTHER CARS, BUT WHEN I TOOK THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR WAS'NT SELECTED FOR A RECALL. I'M A VERY SAFE DRIVER SO I HAVE'NT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS BUT I I'M IN FEAR THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK DUE TO THE MANUFACTURES DEFECT IN MAKING THESE VEHICLE.
