NHTSA Complaint #11256877 — 2019 NISSAN ROGUE

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2019 NISSAN ROGUE AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS SUV (AND PERHAPS OTHER NISSANS AS WELL) ONLY HAS 4 QUIET CHIMES THAT SOUND WHEN STARTING UP THE CAR TO REMIND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO BUCKLE UP. THERE IS NO AUDIBLE CHIME AFTER THAT SHOULD ANYONE NOT BUCKLE UP. ONLY A VISUAL ICON BURIED IN THE DASHBOARD PANEL SHOWS THE SEATBELT(S) HAVE NOT BEEN ENGAGED. SO FOR EXAMPLE IF THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER DO NOT ENGAGE THEIR SEAT BELTS, THEIR DRIVE WHETHER AROUND THE CORNER TO A NEIGHBORHOOD STORE OR A 200 MILE JOURNEY TO VISIT FRIENDS WILL RESULT IN NO AUDIBLE REMINDER TO THE CAR PASSENGERS. THEY WILL NOT HAVE THEIR SEATBELTS ON FOR THEIR TRIP UNLESS THE DRIVERS NOTICES THE ICON AND REMINDS THEM. ADDITIONALLY IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND DISENGAGE YOUR SEATBELT, (TO REACH FOR YOUR WALLET, CELL PHONE, KEYS) THERE IS NO AUDIBLE CHIME TO REMIND THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER TO (RE)BUCKLE UP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SERVICE AT NISSAN AND NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY SEE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS. I FIND THIS TO BE A DERELICTION OF SAFETY ON THE PART OF NISSAN AND FEEL THEY NEED TO RECALL THEIR CARS, AND INSTALL AN AUDIBLE CHIME WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND PASSENGERS ARE NOT WEARING THEIR SEATBELTS. THERE ARE TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS BUILT INTO OUR LIVES, AND NOT HAVING THIS SAFETY BELT REMINDER CAN AND WILL CAUSE MANY INJURIES FOR NISSAN AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
