Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2013 Nissan Rogue

The airbag light is flashing! through your other reports, it would cost thousands of dollars of which should be nissans responsibilty!! and it should be recalled!! one lady's daughter got into an accident because the airbag went off while driving on the highway. she's maimed for life! !

I was driving slowly in a 35 mph speed limit area and my airbag light started flashing. after lots of research i found that the 2014 rogue has a recall for this issue, but not the 2013. i don't feel safe in my car and i have only had it for 4 months. the mileage on my car was about 90,000. this car has never had an accident and this needs to be a recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

My airbag warning light is showing/flashing. there is a recall for 2014 but not 2013. why should i be responsible for a faulty airbag. nissan has a history of faulty airbags. i am hoping 2013 rogue airbags can be added to the recall.

Airbag light is flashing. i have a 2013 rogue only 47k miles. took to dealer, after 150.00 to diagonose . they said they found code stored for past airbag..past??? and they have a procedure. they reset it but it came back on. next...they said they have to change the spiral cable- part alone is 682.00 and if that doesnt do it, then they have to go to the control board and thats 1020.00 for part... they are the dealer....besides being a safety issue, how can they not know exactly where the problem is?? i called nissan to put in a claim. they are willing to take some money off the spiral cable, but why am i paying for that if they aren't even sure that is the problem!!! there absolutely should be a recall on this...how can we get this done?

2013 nissan rogue. consumer writes in regards to reimbursement for air bag replacement. *ld *js

During small front collision at 15 mph side passenger side deployed with no passenger or hit from that side

I just took my vehicle in for it's normal maintenance (oil change/filters, etc.) today - 7/12/19. all is in good condition, except i asked nissan to look at the flashing airbag light that started about a week ago for no apparent reason (o/a 7/5/19). they told me that my front air bag sensor is not working, and that it is not covered and would cost me apx $1,020 to fix. this is an apparent safety issue, and i did nothing to my vehicle for this kind of thing to stop working. i am concerned for my safety and am very reliant on my car to get to and from work, etc. i believe, due to the safety aspect alone, this should be a recall notice and fixed. if you could please look into this, it would be very much appreciated.

Failed inspection, reason the air bag light was blinking,,,,,ma. rmv......garage says its a clock switch ? that is located in steering column .....

My car is a 2013 nisan rouge and i've paid dealership to replace airbags and the airbags went bad again which isn't safe and i believe should never go bad. i've also replaced the whole exhaust system catalytic convert two years ago with same dealer and need another. they constantly keep telling me major things have been wrong transmission replaced as well ac system etc. ive paid there service department almost 8000.00 for engine and they. the other day i had oil changed and the mechanic left oil cap off and my engine almost caught fire. they said all was ok.. please help me ! i believe they are truly taking my money when a lot these issues could've been not needed cause i'm always keeping up with maintenance and have all receipts.. please help !!

The airbag light continues to flash all the time and will not go off. i would assume this means there is a defect in the air bag.

Air bag or electric issue to sensor in the passenger seat, but the light never goes off when anyone is in the seat. the airbag system shouldnt be doing this and i have addressed it with nissan but have gotten nothing but the run around. when the vehicle is powered on in park or even driving the light indication stays on.

Transmission stop working, when you put in drive or reverse , it does not move at all! i paid 24000.00 ( i bought new one)!

One month after the five yrs warranty the airbags light is on all the time. it appears system is not working and inactive.

Takata recall. the air bags deployed for no apparent reason at all while my 25yr old daughter was driving my 2013 nissan rogue on the highway home from a charity event. when the air bags deployed, it caused my daughter to lose control and hit the guard rails. my daughter suffered severe head trauma, bleeding and bruises, injury to her eye, scratches and burns from whatever the substance was in the air bags. she spent the day in the hospital with numerous tests done, had some surgical procedures done, on medications. some of her bruises resulted in swellings and more bruises. she still has a long way to go and is still under the doctors' care. thank god she's alive but my truck was a total loss. my daughter's self-esteem is low because she's having a hard time dealing with the pain, scars and bruises. her slow recovery is still affecting her loss from work and inconvenience of even getting to work because the insurance companyhas deemed my truck a total loss. my daughter is still undergoing more medical treatment and i'm trying to concentrate on getting well and work about the medical bills later. she still has constant headaches daily because of her head injuries and now light is affecting her which cannot be controlled everywhere she goes. as a mother, i hate to see my daughter in this pain every day, i feel helpless. i want my daughter to have a bright future, but she's always sad or crying because of the pain. this is not fair.

On saturday, may 16th heading on the 91 east by bellflower, ca. frwy i was driving and when a sudden stop i found it hard to make a stop because the brake felt as if it sunk in. i unfortunately hit a truck in front of me. the vehicle did not receive any damage but my nissan 2013 rogue did. i took pictures to show the damage. at the time of the accident, i was very concerned because the air bags did not deploy. the vehicle did receive a front impact but the air bags had no reaction to the hit. at the time of the accident i rode with my 3 children ages, 18, 15 and 11 and my fianc. prior to this happening i took the vehicle to get it's maintenance and after this happening i was sure that the vehicle felt very different. it was almost as if it would accelerate and the brakes kept sinking in with having a delay in making a full stop. the vehicle is currently in a body shop through my insurance and i do not recall the mileage? this is very concerning and has been ever since receiving the recall letter regarding the possible electrical problem that might set a fire. please advise/help. thank you!

Passenger airbag light keep going on and off while on a trip 150 miles away from home. called the dealer service dept. and they said they could lower the sensor to recognize me (104 lbs) to make an appt. called on 7/21/14 to schedule apt and was told by someone else that it was against the law to lower the weight sensors and that nothing could be done. dangerous and ridiculous. *tr

My father was hit while driving his 2013 rogue while turning left. oncoming car hit right passenger side so hard the battery of the rogue was found two blocks away. the car was totaled. my mother was sitting behind my father on the driver side back seat. neither side air bags deployed. both sustained multiple injuries. my father died as a result. ..updated 12/11/17 *bf *js

On april 24, 2014, i was a victim in collision wherefore the frontal and back air bags failed to deploy. *tr

Passenger 2 airbag light at times does not register when my 74 lb daughter is sitting in the seat but it will register if my purse is in the seat. at times it will flash on and off then stay off. yesterday 5/6/14 i ran errands then when i went to get my daughter from school. the check engine (malfunction indication light as called in vehicle book) came on. i took the vehicle to auto zone and the test shows its the oxygen sensor. was advised to check upstream & downstream sensors as well as catalytic converter since these can cause damage to it as well. i should mention the employee telling me this built nissan vehicles for 23 yrs. today i have an appt at the nissan dealership. i've only had this vehicle 3 months = not happy. *tr

While traveling with an 85 pound passenger in the passenger seat the passenger side airbag light will illuminate for approximately 10-15 minutes indicating that the passenger side airbag is "off". it will then flicker back on and off again. the passenger is not moving around in the seat, and seatbelt is use properly. i tested my theory that the airbag light was malfunctioning by having a 50 pound child sit in the seat, without movement, while the car was stationary. the light came on, again indicating that the passenger side airbag was "off" and then within 2-3 minutes flickered back into the "on" setting indicating that it would deploy if in a wreck. i contacted the dealership to ask of weight restriction and although they didn't know the information off hand, i am to take it in for service. *tr

The 2013 nissan rogue i was driving was struck a glancing blow starting from the center front through the driver's front left quarter panel and door. the frontal impact was strong enough to break the front support extruded steel brace in three places and decimate the grill, light, bumper, quarter panel and door skin. there are two problems i would like to report. one the side impact and seat air bags did not deploy at all; however the driver's air bag did deploy slowly after the impact. it did not completely deploy until after i exited the vehicle. the second issue is that while the seat belt prevented me from going through the windshield, the mechanism in the seatbelt is also destroyed. the vehicle that struck me had their air bags to fully deploy. please look into this as i understand there was a recall on the 2011 - 2012 models. thank you. *tr..updated 11/13/14 *bf updated 7/28/2015 *js

During cold weather (below 20 deg f.), the car sometimes can not detect if an adult is sitting in the passenger seat and it disengages the air bag. during really cold days (below 0 deg f.) it senses a non-adult sitting in the passenger seat but, the seat is empty. *tr

Well my car is in the shop for repairs to my passenger airbag sensor for the 5th time and again the loaner they gave me (a different from the first rogue that had this same problem) has the passenger air bag off switch on while an adult is sitting in the seat. i have a video of this vehicle, 2 videos of the first rogue that was given to me, and have 3 videos of my altima still doing it. i just received a phone call that my car was staying longer than expected because they replaced the sensors but now can not get them to set or reset. nissan has a truly big problem with these sensors and the government needs to make them do a recall on all the sensors! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. the contact stated that the front passenger side air bag sensor flashed and indicated that it was deactivated. the first two times the vehicle was taken to the dealer the failure codes were cleared, but the failure recurred. when taken back a third time, the dealer replaced the front passenger seat; however, the failure recurred. on the fourth visit, the dealer cleared the failure code, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back a fifth time, but was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 4,702.

While i took my car into the shop for an airbag issue i am having. the loaner car which is the 2013 nissan rogue has the same problem. while driving with an adult in the passenger seat the passenger airbag switch turns off. i have video evidence of this for this vehicle. 2 videos of 2 separate occasions. and 4 videos of my 2013 altimas doing the same thing. even with me sitting in the seat at 180lbs the light switch would turn off. this is a very big safety issue and nissan needs to have it fixed! *tr
