| Description of the problem | Nhtsa campaign id 08v5210000 was issued recalling the 2008 nissan rogue for a faulty airbag sensor. Why when i own a 2008 rogue, and the dealer has confirmed the ocs control unit faulty & now has failed, is nissan not responsible for replacing it at their cost? They tell me it is because only a certain supplier was recalled even though they know the same part is the one that is faulty in my 2008 rogue. This is a very serious issue and it was recalled on my make & model but because my vin # was not included in the recall (i. E. Not enough people complained), they refuse to offer any financial assistance to fix this issue. I have a 16 year old daughter who rides in the passenger seat for 50 miles to/from school everyday. This repair is $2500! It is a faulty part & nissan needs to be held responsible for replacing all parts that are deemed faulty and fail. I informed nissan that (heaven forbid) if i get into an accident & my daughter flies out the front windshield because of a faulty airbag sensor, you better believe it is on record & a lawsuit will be filed. Nissan is fully aware of this issue, as is your organization. But unfortunately you limit these recalls for the benefit of the big corporations instead of the safety of the people. |
