NHTSA Complaint #10903665 — 2008 NISSAN ROGUE

WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 40 MPH THE PASSENGER SEAT LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING SEAT AIR BAGS WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE A 150 LB. PERSON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. A LIGHT RED INDICATOR LIGHT ALSO CAME ON ON THE DASH AND IT WAS BLINKING. BOTH OF THESE LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED EVERY TIME WE USE THE CAR WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. AFTER SEEING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2008 OCS FROM NISSAN, I TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHY NOT, HOW DID THEY DETERMINE THAT. THE SAME PART WAS USED ON ALL THE 2008 ROGUES AS WELL AS MANY OTHER NISSANS OF THAT YEAR. WHY IS NHTSA NOT INVESTIGATING THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS, PROBABLY MORE, NISSAN VEHICLES 2008-2009 THAT HAVE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AS WELL AS VERY UNSAFE, LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. NISSANS "VOLUNTARY" RECALL HELPED THEM ESCAPE A FULL RECALL. THEY HAVE NOT HONORED THEIR "VOLUNTARY" RECALL.
