2008 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OCCUPANT SENSOR FAILED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. OVER TIME, THE SENSOR COMPLETELY FAILED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS OCCURED IN JULY OF 2019 AT MILEAGE 175213. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW OF A RECALL ON AIRBAGS ON HER YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE UNTIL FEBRUARY 2020. A DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE MFG SAID THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT THE OTHER 2008 ROGUES THAT WERE RECALLED DID, THE MFG REFUSED TO INCLUDE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE COST TO FIX THE FAILURE AND IT WOULD BE OVER $2000. THE MFG TOLD THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO THE CURRENT MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, 190218 AS OF FEB 2020, THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. CONTACT WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS TOO OLD AND HAD TOO MANY MILES FOR THEM TO GIVE ANY ASSISTANCE.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING AND IGNITION SWITCH INDICATOR ON THE STEERING COLUMN REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

MY NISSAN ROGUENWAS ONE OF THE FIRST MODELS INTRODUCED IN 2008. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW RECALLS THAT MY ROGUE HASN'T BEEN ELIGEABLE FOR. ONE OF MY RECALLS RIGHT NOW IS THE SENSOR IN THE PENDING UNDER THE SEAT FOR THE AIRBAG. THE RECALL SAYS THE SENSOR WILL STILL BE ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT MEANING THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR MANUFACTURERS FOR NISSAN AND THEY JUST WON'T HELP AT ALL.

THE ENGINE'S ELECTRICAL MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE HEAD LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND AND AIR CONDITIONING ELECTRICALLY FAILED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA. SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. BANISTER NISSAN DEALERSHIP, CHESAPEAKE, VIRGINIA JUST TOLD ME THAT THE NISSAN MANUFACTURING PLANT WILL NOT MAKE AND RELEASE THIS PART FOR REPAIR USE UNTIL A MONTH FROM NOW. WILL HAVE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE HOME IN DAYLIGHT AND HOPEFULLY, NO RAIN FOR 80 MILES WITH THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN WOULD BE SO CAVALIER ABOUT SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PRESS OUR CASE WITH NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS.

I THINK I AM A VICTIM OF AN ODOMETER FRAUD SCHEME AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. IF THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO REPORT IT OR IF I NEED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I LIVE IN OAKLAND, CA AND BOUGHT A USED CAR NISSAN ROGUE 2008 OFF OF CRAIGSLIST ON DECEMBER 23RD, 2016 FOR $5000. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY DTR AND SHE BEGAN TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING 59K MILES. WE WERE HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH IT THAT DID NOT FIT WITH THE MILEAGE AND WHEN WE MORE CAREFULLY CHECKED THE CARFAX THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY WAS 156,788. MY NAME IS [XXX] THE NAME ON THE TITLE(SELLER) IS [XXX] (UNSURE IF THIS IS REAL NAME NOW) [XXX] THE CAR APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AT NISSAN SUNNYVALE IN SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA 408-470-4151 HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CALIF DMV; INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FLUID FROM UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. IN ADDITION, THE IGNITION KEY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS NO LONGER WORKED WHEN PROMPTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW HALF FULL AFTER BEING FILLED OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY ALSO SHOW EMPTY AT ANYTIME. IT MAY OR MAY NOT RETURN TO THE TRUE LEVEL IN THE TANK AT SOME POINT. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK WITHOUT USING THE TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK YOUR MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL UPS. THE GAUGE IS OPERATIONALLY USELESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WITH THIS MAKING THE STATE INSPECTION A PROBLEM AND REQUIRING A REGULAR CHECK TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING ELSE HASN'T GONE WRONG. MONITOR CODE DISPLAYED IS PO463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER OR DIAGNOSE AND FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THIS IS AN ONGOING DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MANY NISSAN ROUGE OWNERS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM POSTED TO THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ON 9/05/2016 (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10903665) AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO ADD. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN REP THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS CHECKED IN 2008 AND WAS OK, THEREFORE, THEY WERE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THAT PART. THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS RECALLED IS THE PART THAT IS STILL IN MY VEHICLE. THAT PART HAS FAILED. I GOT RECORDS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOR THAT RECALL AND THEY SHOW THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON 12/01/2008 AND THEY ALSO SHOW THEY DID ANOTHER OCS INSPECTION ON 02/09/2010 DUE TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. EVIDENTLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH IT AT THAT TIME. THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE PART. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY RESET IT AND THAT WORKED AT THAT TIME. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY $1,700 TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS UNDER RECALL BY NISSAN THAT THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MADE TO BACK UP THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCIN THIS ISSUE. ALSO, PEOPLE CHECKING VIN NUMBERS TO SEE IF THEIR VEHICLE WAS PART OF THAT RECALL NEED TO LOOK FURTHER AS WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER IT DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT ACTUALLY WAS PART OF THAT RECALL.
