Owner reports

Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2012 Nissan Rogue owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

SRS air bag light was on, called dealer, light stayed on, CVT transmission has issues, electrical problems while driving, car will decelerate and stop without warning. My safety is at risk everyday, the car can stop at anytime without warning, airbag deployed. The dealership has not found any problems that they are willing to be accountable for. The vehicle has not been inspected before or after accident. Check engine light was on, transmission was replaced twice at my own expense. SRS light was on before accident.

Air bags are common problem. It can be googled. Ours stopped working. When braking the steering wheel shakes bad. Got fixed and came right back week later. Common problem. O2 sensor needed changed cause when slippery road indicator comes on car won't accelerate over 25 mph. Have to cut engine off wait for seconds and cut back on and its fine. Oil leak is where everyone online said there's is. There should be recall on these things it hurting environment n dangerous for drivers on the road.

Censor light came on making the vehicle unsafe to drive and unable to be inspected and the manufacturer said it's a known defect with the sensor but is not under recall so they are not under obligation to repair. Estimated costs to repair $3000. They said for year 2013 and beyond it was covered by a recall but not for my vin number

An airbag light came on on the dashboard of the vehicle. The Nissan Dealership diagnosed the "D/S AIRBAG MODULE OPEN" and quoted me for $1,614.64. They said the airbag was faulty and would not deploy in the event of an accident.

Frontal impact caused airbags to deploy except the passenger front (no passenger) and the passenger rear side (passenger present) . Nissan claims no deployment of side airbag is because no direct "t-bone" impact on passenger side of vehicle was sensed. Nissan also claims that the driver side airbag did properly because it sensed a potential rollover situation. Nissan was moving on city street and hit (t-boned) a truck pulling a heavy loaded trailer that ran a red light. Rear passenger side airbag should have deployed!

Tl* the contact owned a 2012 Nissan Rogue. While driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond without warning. The contact's vehicle rear ended another vehicle.

Code: b1018 passenger side occupant classification error. Seat had to be replaced. My family's safety was at stake. Dealer quoted $2962.06 and they notified me the seat is on back-order. That amount is ridiculous and prohibitive for my family. We had my mechanic work on it the 1st time and he recalibrated the seat. He came back a second time but did not charge since it was the same code and it happened a day later. We opted to fix the issue by replacing the seat with a part from a salvage yard as it was less money. I am concerned about the safety of my family! The very first time I noticed the restraint system light was during a 5 hour drive (7/8/18) but did not know what it was until I looked it up after the trip. I was appalled that Nissan would not fix something that was clearly manufacturing defect and that I put my family at risk. …

My mother purchased this Nissan Rogue new in 2012. Now the airbag light is on, we're being told that none of the airbags inside the vehicle are working. South austin Nissan where we purchased the vehicle refuses to assist my mother, unless she pays a great deal of money. Nissan corporation refuses to assist, they just refer me back to the dealership. So many of these airbags have been recalled, therefore why is my mother having to pay a large amount of money. Same issues as the other year models which have been recalled. My mother is driving this vehicle with no airbags. Respectfully, [redacted] ' pm

The airbag light was flashing so we took it to the dealer. The passenger air bag stays off even with a person in the seat. They stated it is the occupancy sensor and wanted over $2,000 to fix it. I had the Nissan extend warranty which they said it was not covered. I called Nissan and they said my 2012 Rogue was not part of any of the years for the occupancy sensor that were recalled. If there is a recall for the same reason, why would this not be covered? Why if the sensor fails it would default to keep airbags from working?. Nissan customer service told me it was pass the 3 years /36000 so they would not repair it.
