| Description of the problem | Twice during april 2014 my 2008 rogue was at the dealer to diagnose why passenger airbag light would not shut off. Was told by dealer that the code was in the past tense and they could not do any diagnostic testing since it was not an active code (b1018). Without doing any testing, i was told that to fix the problem they would need to replace the passenger front seat cushion ($2,500). Was told that nissan recall 2008-10-07 did not apply to my vehicle. Filed a complaint with nissan usa consumer affairs on 4/22/14 and requested that my vehicle be included in the recall since nissan is aware of problems with airbags in the 2008 nissan rogues. Nissan refused my request and stated that airbags are secondary safety equipment and they would not fix the defect since seat belts are considered the primary safety feature. At this point i don't know if my airbag system is even operational since the light remains illuminated. Nissan has issued recalls on the rogue and other models for defective airbags so i think the problem is impacting more vehicles than they realize and i don't feel i should be paying out of pocket to repair. What more can i do to get nissan to step up and fix the problem? |
