2011 Nissan Rogue

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger’s side air bag sensor occupant classification system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

Passenger seat Occupant sensor has failed. Yes, available for inspection. This sensor communicates with the Airbag system. The front passenger airbag is disabled due to the fault. The problem has been reproduced, I have followed the process of resetting the DTC and 2 weeks later the DTC has returned. No inspection beyond owner. Vehicle producing DTC B1018 This relates to the occupant sensor which shuts off the airbag when the seat is occupied by a child or small enough adult. Nissan has had several recalls for this sensor in other models and years of this vehicle. Due to poor design the only repair is replacing the entire passenger seat at a cost of over $2000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILURE WARNING LITES ACTIVATED. THE LITE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER ARE BOTH INVOLVED. i AM TOLD BY THE DEALER (MARK) AT DAYTONA NISSAN, THAT THE CAR IS PROBABLY UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS.. IN RESEARCHING I FIND THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM, THAT IT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR SOME YEARS, AND THIS HAPPENS TO PRACTICALLY ALL NISSAN ROGUES AND IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CALLS FOR SEAT REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE OF 2 TO 3 GRAND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME YEARS AND IS KNOWN TO THE MFG. THEY CHOOSE TO NOT FIX IT. HOW MANY HAVE TO DIE B4 YOU FOLKS TELL NISSAN TO RECALL.

2011 NISSAN ROUGE: THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT THAT INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVE ILLUMINATES WITH AN ADULT SEATING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER FLASHES. THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR STATES THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. A WEB SEARCH WILL FIND MANY MANY NISSAN CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT AND KILLED DUE TO NISSAN CARS FAILURE TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE CAR IS UNSELLABLE AND UNSAFE. THE GOVERMMENT SHOULD REQUIRE NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT COST TO THE CAR OWNER BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE HURT AND KILLED.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR BLINKS DUE TO A MALFUNCTION. COST TO FIX IS $3K DUE TO HAVING TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT WHERE THE SENSOR IS, WHICH IS HALF THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN BLINKING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. NOT SURE IF THIS MEANS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, WHICH IS *EXTREMELY* DANGEROUS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN TRAVELING, THE VEHICLE OFTEN LOSES ACCELERATION, EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO STOP OR TURN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOSES POWER STEERING, AND THE BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE QUICKLY AT ALL.

1 OWNER CAR. MILEAGE 80,000. AIR BAG LIGHTS CAME ON BY SEAT AND ON DASH EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT WHEN IGNITION IS ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD ENTIRE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR AT A COST OF $3000. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY PEOPLE. THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY KEPT PUTTING THIS PART IN EVEN AFTER THEY STARTING FAILING IN 2008, 2009, 2010 MODELS. WE ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS TO WORK TO GET OUR CARS INSPECTED. THAT IS HALF THE VALUE OF THE CAR. THE ENTIRE SEAT MUST BE REPLACED??!!?? I DON'T KNOW IF THE BAG WILL DEPLOY OR NOT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. HOW LONG UNTIL THE OTHER ONE FAILS.
