ON NOVEMBER 5, 2008, I STARTED MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I CALLED LOVE NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY SENT A WRECKER TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. THEY ORDERED PARTS AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT, 2 SIDE AIR BAG MODULES, 2 FRONT SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES, HEADLINER, AND CENTER GARNISH FINISHERS. THEY TOLD ME THE BOARD IN THE DIAGNOSTIC UNIT WAS BUBBLED AND THEY PROBABLY WOULD NEVER KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS. PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: PURCHASED VEHICLE NOVEMBER 5, 2007. ON NOVEMBER 15, 2007, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. DIAGNOSTIC: NO CODES FOUND OR STORED AT THIS TIME, TEST DROVE, RECHECKED CODES, NO PROBLEMS FOUND AT THIS TIME. ON JANUARY 19, 2007, RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. DIAGNOSTIC TEST: NO DTC STORED IN SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME ALL WORKING PROPERLY. TEST DROVE. OK. ON JANUARY 22, 2008, RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP ORDERED AND REPLACED: AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL UNIT, PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR, AND BOTTOM CUSHION FRAME ASSEMBLY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY AGAIN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS WOULD CAUSE ME TO WRECK. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD IN NOVEMBER 2008. I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURS CONSISTENTLY WHEN DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 20 MPH TO 5 MPH. AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN RATTLING AGAINST METAL. THE NOISE CHANGES TO A GRINDING SOUND LIKE METAL RUBBING AGAINST METAL AS THE VEHICLE LOSES SPEED. THE GRINDING SOUND APPEARS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT SLOW SPEED, SUCH AS WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THE NOISE BUT HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT AND NO INTEREST IN TRYING TO RESOLVE IT. I BELIEVE THE NOISE COMES FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CVT PUSH BELT OR A CVT PUSH BELT SLIPPING ON THE VARIATOR PULLEYS. EITHER CAUSE COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE CVT PUSH BELT AND RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL LOSS OF RESPONSE TO DRIVER ACCELERATOR INPUT. MY NISSAN ROGUE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES, AND THE NOISE IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT. *TR

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT WERE EQUIPPED WITH A GARMIN NUVI MODEL 750 NAVIGATION SYSTEM. THE BATTERIES CONTAINED IN THE AFFECTED GPS UNITS CAN OVERHEAT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: OVERHEATED BATTERIES COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND THE REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED BY GARMIN TECHNICIANS BY REPLACING THE BATTERY AND INSERTING A SPACER ON TOP OF THE BATTERY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GARMIN DIRECTLY AT 1-866-957-1981 OR NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ROGUE VEHICLES. A SCREW IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING COVER MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND COULD FALL OUT. AS IT LOOSENS, THE STEERING RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE COMPROMISED BUT THE DRIVER WILL RETAIN STEERING CONTROL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE SCREW MAY EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR COVER. IF LARGE STEERING INPUTS ARE MADE WITH THE COVER SCREW MISSING THE PINION SHAFT MAY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT WHETHER THE STEERING GEAR COVER SCREW IS LOOSE AND WILL BE RETIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A COVER PLATE TO PREVENT THE SCREW FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. THE MATERIAL IN THE NUT USED TO SECURE THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY CORRODE AND POTENTIALLY CRACK IN AREAS WITH HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE NUT MAY COME OUT OF THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER AND THE TPMS LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE TPMS LAMP IS DISREGARDED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION, THE TIRE WILL QUICKLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE AT A CONSISTENT RATE RESULTING IN A FLAT TIRE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TPMS NUT WITH A NEW, MORE ROBUST NUT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 9, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 AND INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU).
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL TEST THE SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND ACU SYSTEMS USING A SPECIAL TOOL TO CHECK THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT CUSHION (CONTAINING OCS HARDWARE) WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
