2012 Nissan Rogue

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STAYS OFF EVEN WITH A PERSON IN THE SEAT. THEY STATED IT IS THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR AND WANTED OVER $2,000 TO FIX IT. I HAD THE NISSAN EXTEND WARRANTY WHICH THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID MY 2012 ROGUE WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE YEARS FOR THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR THAT WERE RECALLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME REASON, WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED? WHY IF THE SENSOR FAILS IT WOULD DEFAULT TO KEEP AIRBAGS FROM WORKING?. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT WAS PASS THE 3 YEARS /36000 SO THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT.

MY MOTHER PURCHASED THIS NISSAN ROGUE NEW IN 2012. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS INSIDE THE VEHICLE ARE WORKING. SOUTH AUSTIN NISSAN WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO ASSIST MY MOTHER, UNLESS SHE PAYS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES TO ASSIST, THEY JUST REFER ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. SO MANY OF THESE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THEREFORE WHY IS MY MOTHER HAVING TO PAY A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER YEAR MODELS WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. MY MOTHER IS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH NO AIRBAGS. RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' PM

MY SIDE-SEAT PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR - LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT - KEEPS TURNING OFF. THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR 2013 MODELS. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY - OR RECALLED FOR 2012 - AND THE COST IS EXTREMELY PROHIBITIVE AND EXORBITANT SINCE IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A NEW SEAT FOR $2,600.00. THIS SETS UP FOR AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES AND THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ON, DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, JUST THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED. COULD MEAN THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, COULD MEAN THAT IT WILL DEPLOY RANDOMLY. MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT, NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT. IT IS $1300 AND I HAVE ANOTHER HUGE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR: MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME AND MY CAR IS AT 102,000 MILES. WARRANTY COVERED IT THE FIRST TIME, JUST ENDED IN JULY AND I AM TOLD THAT NISSAN ONLY COVERS NEW TRANSMISSIONS FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT TWICE IN 100,000 MILES. AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION SHOULD BE COVERED, THIS IS MY SAFETY.

CODE: B1018 PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ERROR. SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WAS AT STAKE. DEALER QUOTED $2962.06 AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THE SEAT IS ON BACK-ORDER. THAT AMOUNT IS RIDICULOUS AND PROHIBITIVE FOR MY FAMILY. WE HAD MY MECHANIC WORK ON IT THE 1ST TIME AND HE RECALIBRATED THE SEAT. HE CAME BACK A SECOND TIME BUT DID NOT CHARGE SINCE IT WAS THE SAME CODE AND IT HAPPENED A DAY LATER. WE OPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE SEAT WITH A PART FROM A SALVAGE YARD AS IT WAS LESS MONEY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY! THE VERY FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIGHT WAS DURING A 5 HOUR DRIVE (7/8/18) BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP AFTER THE TRIP. I WAS APPALLED THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS CLEARLY MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT I PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS WHY THE SEATS ARE ON BACKORDER. I AM SURE NISSAN IS AWARE. PLEASE SEE PICTURES.
