I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. IT BLINKS ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I AM NOT SURE IF IT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR OR IF IT CAME ON WHEN I NOTICED IT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES TIME.

OUR 2015 ROGUE HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED BY THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP SINCE OUR FAMILY PURCHASED IT. IN JUNE 2020 THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON. IT BLINKS WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND HAD SOME TESTS DONE, AND ON THE ADVICE OF THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED A PART (STEP ONE IN THE REPAIR PROCESS). THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE, AS THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO BLINK, BUT GAVE NO ERROR CODES. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE SAFE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON JUNE 19. I WAS ASSIGNED A REPRESENTATIVE WHO ASSURED ME SHE WOULD WORK WITH ME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER, AND MY DEALERSHIP STARTED COMMUNICATION WITH NISSAN TECHLINE. THEY HAD SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT NO SOLUTIONS. THE MOSTLY LIKELY ISSUE IN THEIR ESTIMATION IS A FAULTY OCS. I FORWARDED THE TECHLINE RECOMMENDATION TO MY REPRESENTATIVE, BUT SHE HAD NOT RESPONDED TO NUMEROUS CONTACT ATTEMPTS. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED ALMOST DAILY TO CONNECT WITH HER DEPARTMENT, BUT ALSO RECEIVED NO REPLY. THE FAULTY OCS APPEARS TO A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES, AND WAS CAUSE FOR AT LEAST 3 RECALLS. AFTER CHECKING MY VIN, NO ACTIVE RECALLS ARE APPARENT, BUT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I REALIZED MY CAR WAS LOSING POWER WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT IT DROPPED FROM 70 MPH DOWN TO 30 MPH GRADUALLY. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. WEEKS BEFORE I NOTICED MY RPM HAND JUMPING ERRATICALLY AND WHEN I WENT TO GET TO DIAGNOSTICS NO ONE COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO NISSAN ON THE DAY THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND I LOST ACCELERATION. I WAS INFORMED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND IT WASN'T WORTH THE MONEY TO BE REPLACED.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASH JUST RANDOMLY POPPED UP ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO AND HAS REMAINED THAT WAY SINCE. OF COURSE THIS LIGHT IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE ONCE U TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION.

ORIGINAL RECALL PERFORMED BY LOCAL DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM. NHTSA RECALL 16V-244, OCS PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN PASSENGER SITS ON SEAT AFTER CAR IS STARTED. I HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SIX TIMES IN THE FIRST YEAR AFTER THE RECALL. I BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ANNUALLY FOR INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGES. THEY ASK IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE AND I TELL THEM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STILL STAYS ON. I'LL PICK UP VEHICLE LATER AND THEY SAY NO TROUBLE FOUND. I HAVE VIDEOS (THAT'S PLURAL) OF MY WIFE SITTING IN THE SEAT WITH THE LIGHT ON AND US DRIVING. I CAN SEND THOSE IF YOU WANT THEM. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT FOR SERVICE THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN DRIVE STRAIGHT UP TO DEALERSHIP. UHH, MY WIFE WOULD BE UNPROTECTED. WHEN IT DOES OCCUR, I PULL THE VEHICLE OVER, SHUT OFF AND START UP.

Official recalls
9Feb 16, 2023
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.
Jan 21, 2022
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles. The electrical connector for the under dash harness may corrode due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R21B9.

An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the OCS software free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear tailgate stays, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Rogue vehicles manufactured February 10, 2015, to May 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, due to a problem with the shift selector knob, it may be possible to shift out of the "Park" position without depressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the shift selector can be moved out of the "Park" position while the brake pedal is not depressed, the vehicle may unexpectedly roll, increasing the risk of a crash.

In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
Consequence & remedy

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Rogue Select vehicles manufactured November 17, 2014, to December 12, 2014 and equipped with seventeen-inch wheels. The affected vehicles have incorrect tire size information on the tire labels. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less."
Consequence & remedy

During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners may not have been properly torqued.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
