| Description of the problem | This last time to the nissan in my area, i had them look at my passenger airbag sensor, as the sensor indicates off, even if there is no weight on the seat. My service advisor and the head of the service department both said that it's not clear if the airbags will deploy if the sensor is off. They said i could get it replaced, but the issue is: it will cost $2,600 because they need to replace the whole seat. Come to find out, this is actually an issue reported to the nhtsa from other 2011 rogue owners. I am the primary driver in my family, but now i am worried to transport anyone. It doesn't look like there has been a recall, but this is an issue that can cause me to sell my vehicle and not get another nissan. I am now worried of getting into an accident and knowing full well my airbags, the one thing built into the vehicle to keep people safe, may or may not deploy, and may or may not keep people safe. $2,600 to fix a car defect isn't an option for me. Planning a funeral for someone who chooses to ride in my front seat isn't an option either. I am truly at a loss for what to do next, but i am heartbroken that it's come down to those two options. I wanted to keep my rogue for a few years more - i love it, but safety is my number one priority. I wish safety was a priority to nissan to make this a recall, but it seems like profits have surpassed customer safety. The sensor has been on for months, but the first time they said there was nothing that could be done. |
