| Description of the problem | We own a 2008 nissan rogue. Approximately two weeks ago the airbag light began flashing while driving and the passenger airbag sensor light will show that it is off even when an adult passenger is sitting in the seat. We took this to our local nissan dealer in which case they informed us that it would cost $1800 to repair. Upon researching this online, i found out that this is a common problem and there was a recall associated with our make, model and year vehicle. It is nhtsa recall number 08v521000 . The dealership we took the car to for repair said that our car wasn't included in this recall. I called nissan directly and filed a case with them to see if i could get our car included in this recall since it is the exact issue described in the recall. They gave me case number 32943503. When the case officer with nissan called me back they were unwilling to work with us on this issue stating that our vin was not included in the recall and couldn't provide me with any information on the defective part that was recalled so that i could compare that with what is installed in my car. After looking at all of the complaints online for this exact issue, i think that this recall should be expanded to include more vehicles since the parts installed continue to be defective and this affects life safety of the passengers in these vehicles. |
