“When driving the seatbelt light indicator comes on, has been doing this for sometime and usually only happens when there is no passenger. When the passenger seatbelt is clicked the light (seatbelt indicator) goes off.”

“Was at a complete stop at a red light, was struck from behind in which the car was going approximately 50 miles an hour, and no airbags deployed. The police report stated that they did but in fact they did not. I provided pictures of the inside of the car after the accident showing that they did not deploy. Daughter in back seat suffered fractured vertebrae. She was sitting in center seat. There was an occupant in driver seat as well as front passenger. Driver may have hit chin on driver’s wheel causing bruising but no broken bones. Driver continues to have sore upper back as of April 2, 2024, but no broken bones. Pictures of police report also provided.”

“Driving to Deep Gap, NC 7/28/2023 the “passenger airbag” lights came on and stayed on. When we got home we tried several Utube reset options and the lights went off, for a few starts of the engine. Now the lights stay on all the time. Being that I have a 2018 Nissan Rouge, I am wondering if I have one of the faulty recalled airbag sensors put when the vehicle was built in 2018 in Japan. We still have to use the vehicle daily and it is available for inspection. Living in Florida, old people capital of the US, I want to know I’m protected with airbags. We have called our platinum extended warranty people, two dealers who say $200-$2,000 to diagnose and repair. I cannot understand paying for a defect so we have not scheduled any work to be done. We did have something else odd happen in the past couple of weeks also, making me think it may be something more defective in the the electronics. The radio screen suddenly went black even though the radio was still playing. When we stop and started the car again, the radio screen came on normally.”

“The passenger airbag light stays illuminated regardless if there is a passenger in the seat or not. A diagnostic scan was run and it is Code= B00A0:00. This issue has been under recall for model years up to 2017 and my car is a 2018. There is a service bulletin for this issue and I have been quoted several thousand dollars to fix it. The car was not in an accident and nothing precipitated this issue. It literally happened upon starting the car one day. The 2018 model year Nissan Rogue's should be included in the earlier recall of Nissan Rogues. It's apparently now my responsibility to pay out-of-pocket to insure my son's safety as I have been told the airbag system WILL NOT ENGAGE if the car is in an accident when this light is on--and the light never turns off. There were no warnings leading up to this issue. The light randomly turned on one day and has stayed on virtually every time driven since. The dealer is well aware of this ongoing issue with the Nissan Rogue.”
