THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW HALF FULL AFTER BEING FILLED OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY ALSO SHOW EMPTY AT ANYTIME. IT MAY OR MAY NOT RETURN TO THE TRUE LEVEL IN THE TANK AT SOME POINT. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK WITHOUT USING THE TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK YOUR MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL UPS. THE GAUGE IS OPERATIONALLY USELESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WITH THIS MAKING THE STATE INSPECTION A PROBLEM AND REQUIRING A REGULAR CHECK TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING ELSE HASN'T GONE WRONG. MONITOR CODE DISPLAYED IS PO463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THIS IS AN ONGOING DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MANY NISSAN ROUGE OWNERS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM POSTED TO THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

The contact's stepsister owns a 2008 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the passenger’s side air bag light remained off while occupied or while unoccupied. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V521000 (Air Bags, Electrical System) which he linked to the failure. The contact's stepsister called the dealer and was provided an estimate for the repair after being informed that her vehicle was not included in the recall. The contact then called and informed the manufacturer of the recall however, the manufacturer stated that they had no record of the recall. The manufacturer then referred him to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 49,000.

I've had nothing but problems with my suspension and here in the past week or so I've been smelling like wires are either getting to hot or wires actually burning

The TPMS lamp for tire pressure sensor, stays on. It appears there may have been a recall on this. I just made a complaint about the passenger airbag light showing it does not sense when a passenger inns in the front passenger seat with seatbelt fastened and car is running or driving. I just bought this car from a private party. Below is the picture of the lighted TPMS pressure sensor lamp.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ROGUE IN 2010. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING IT A RED WARNING LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE DASH INDICATING AN AIRBAG PROBLEM. A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT DETERMINES IF SOMEONE IS SEATED THERE OR NOT. I WAS UNABLE TO AFFORD A NEW SENSOR. I CHECKED NHTSA RECALLS AND LOCATED RECALL# 08V521000. WHILE THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE PROBLEM MY NISSAN ROGUE IS EXPERIENCING, PER MY VIN, MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

A DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE MFG SAID THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT THE OTHER 2008 ROGUES THAT WERE RECALLED DID, THE MFG REFUSED TO INCLUDE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE COST TO FIX THE FAILURE AND IT WOULD BE OVER $2000. THE MFG TOLD THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO THE CURRENT MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, 190218 AS OF FEB 2020, THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. CONTACT WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS TOO OLD AND HAD TOO MANY MILES FOR THEM TO GIVE ANY ASSISTANCE.*DT*JB

MY NISSAN ROGUENWAS ONE OF THE FIRST MODELS INTRODUCED IN 2008. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW RECALLS THAT MY ROGUE HASN'T BEEN ELIGEABLE FOR. ONE OF MY RECALLS RIGHT NOW IS THE SENSOR IN THE PENDING UNDER THE SEAT FOR THE AIRBAG. THE RECALL SAYS THE SENSOR WILL STILL BE ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT MEANING THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR MANUFACTURERS FOR NISSAN AND THEY JUST WON'T HELP AT ALL.

I THINK I AM A VICTIM OF AN ODOMETER FRAUD SCHEME AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. IF THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO REPORT IT OR IF I NEED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I LIVE IN OAKLAND, CA AND BOUGHT A USED CAR NISSAN ROGUE 2008 OFF OF CRAIGSLIST ON DECEMBER 23RD, 2016 FOR $5000. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY DTR AND SHE BEGAN TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING 59K MILES. WE WERE HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH IT THAT DID NOT FIT WITH THE MILEAGE AND WHEN WE MORE CAREFULLY CHECKED THE CARFAX THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY WAS 156,788. MY NAME IS [XXX] THE NAME ON THE TITLE(SELLER) IS [XXX] (UNSURE IF THIS IS REAL NAME NOW) [XXX] THE CAR APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AT NISSAN SUNNYVALE IN SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA 408-470-4151 HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CALIF DMV; INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FLUID FROM UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. IN ADDITION, THE IGNITION KEY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS NO LONGER WORKED WHEN PROMPTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER OR DIAGNOSE AND FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THIS IS AN ONGOING DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MANY NISSAN ROUGE OWNERS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM POSTED TO THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ON 9/05/2016 (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10903665) AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO ADD. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN REP THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS CHECKED IN 2008 AND WAS OK, THEREFORE, THEY WERE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THAT PART. THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS RECALLED IS THE PART THAT IS STILL IN MY VEHICLE. THAT PART HAS FAILED. I GOT RECORDS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOR THAT RECALL AND THEY SHOW THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON 12/01/2008 AND THEY ALSO SHOW THEY DID ANOTHER OCS INSPECTION ON 02/09/2010 DUE TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. EVIDENTLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH IT AT THAT TIME. THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE PART. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY RESET IT AND THAT WORKED AT THAT TIME. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY $1,700 TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS UNDER RECALL BY NISSAN THAT THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MADE TO BACK UP THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCIN THIS ISSUE. ALSO, PEOPLE CHECKING VIN NUMBERS TO SEE IF THEIR VEHICLE WAS PART OF THAT RECALL NEED TO LOOK FURTHER AS WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER IT DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT ACTUALLY WAS PART OF THAT RECALL.

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE RPM'S DROPPED UNDER 1000. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE POWER RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I DROVE TO MY ORIGINAL DESTINATION.

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN READING INCORRECTLY AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO FILL OUT THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NEVER SHOW COMPLETELY FULL. IN SOME CASES, I WOULD TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD READ SUFFICIENTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN THE TANK AND THEN CLIMB BACK UP TO WHAT I ASSUME WAS THE CORRECT LEVEL. MY LAST FILL UP, THE GAUGE READ 3 BARS LEFT OF FUEL AND I PUMPED 14.5 GALLONS OF GAS AT THE STATION WHICH IS EXACTLY MY GAS TANK SIZE. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND OTHER MODELS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO GOOD FIXES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER 2008 NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS FLASHING, INDICATING A NON-FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG (THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, DRIVER'S SIDE INCLUDED, WE FOUND OUT LATER). THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE 200,000+ VEHICLES RECALLED (08V521000) FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THE OCS (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM). THE ONLY FIX, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER (AND THE SUBSEQUENT MULTIPLE CALLS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS), IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND 2) A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX ($1800-$2500) IS REQUIRED FOR A SAFETY SYSTEM SENSOR. IN LIGHT OF THE NEARLY 1 MILLION NISSAN VEHICLES RECENTLY RECALLED (2014) FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE,THE RECALL REALLY SHOULD HAVE APPLIED NOT ONLY TO THOSE INITIAL 200,000+ VEHICLES, BUT ALL THOSE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SENSOR SYSTEM THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN RIGHT. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING AT IT'S BEST! *TR

Mileage: 108,829

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND REMAINS ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1,800 TO REPAIR, AN INDICATOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS NOT WORKING. I DID ASK ABOUT RECALLS, AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NONE. IT SEEMS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V521000. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE "THE PART WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT". I BELIEVE AS THE SAME PART IS MALFUNCTIONING IN THE SAME VEHICLE RECALL, IT WAS ALSO MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SHOULD REPAIR IT AS A PART OF THAT RECALL. *TR

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD 2014, THE NISSAN WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, AND HAS NOT STARTED SEANCE, I REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS (FOR MY WIFE) ON THE BATTERY. THE POSITIVE TERMINAL CLAMP WAS CORRODED THROUGH TO THE POINT WE TOUCHED IT AND IT BROKE. (WE REPLACED THE PARTS FROM DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2014) BEFORE AND AFTER THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND FUSE PACK WERE REPLACED THE OBD2 WILL NOT CONNECT WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR AT ALL. NOW NOT EVEN 24 HRS AFTER THE ABOVE LISTED PARTS WERE REPLACED, THE CAR BATTERY IS NOW DEAD, SITTING ON STREET WITH SYSTEM NOW RECONNECTED. AFTER PARTS WERE REPLACED THE CARE WOULD CRANK WITH NO START, (CRANKING WAS STRONG WITH NO LAG). NOW THERE IS NO CHARGE IN THE BATTERY NOT EVEN 12 HRS AFTER REPLACING THE PARTS. THIS IS DISCONCERTING BEING THAT WE HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE AUTO UNTIL NOW. WE DID NOTE THAT THERE IS/WAS A RECALL FOR SERVICE FOR 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AS LISTED BELLOW: 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SERVICE BULLETIN 373732 NHTSA: ACTION NUMBER: 10055490 SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 373732 REPORT DATE: APR 09, 2014COMPONENT: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUMMARY: NISSAN: THE MAIN HARNESS TO BODY HARNESS CONNECTORS IS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL CORROSION ISSUES. 2008-2014 ROGUE. *PE SOURCE: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMD.COM/TSB/BULLETIN_B373732/ *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR LIT UP FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE OCS SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A RECALL (08V521000). I CALLED THE RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10-2-13 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. WAS INFORMED THAT IN FACT, THE OCS HAD GONE BAD; BUT AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND WOULD COST $2819 TO FIX. I HAVE SINCE ESCALATED MY CASE TO THE REGIONAL LEVEL, GIVEN THAT MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES, WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, AND A SENSOR SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND THAT! I WAS TOLD BY THE REGIONAL OFFICE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT, AND THAT THEY WILL FURTHER RESEARCH MY SITUATION. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS RECENTLY STARTED BLINKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE OCCUPANT PASSENGER SENSOR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000) BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE. THEN THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $3000 TO REPAIR!!! WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT AGREED TO DO ANYTHING. SINCE DAY ONE, THE PASSENGER SENSOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERRATIC AND OFTEN WOULD NOT WORK WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT.

ON DEC 12, 2011 AT 0500 AM MY 2009 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAD A KEYLESS ENTRY ROLLAWAY. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND ROLLED AWAY CAUSING CAR AND PROPERTY DAMAGE (DAMAGE TO THE CAR DOOR) AFTER TURNING OFF MY ENGINE I LEFT THE CAR, LEAVING THE CAR DOOR OPEN AND THE CAR ROLLED AWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW OF KEYLESS ENTRY CARS AND THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH THE NTSB AND NISSAN TO PERSONALLY NOTIFY PEOPLE OF THIS MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND TO PROVIDE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO AVOID REPEATED ACCIDENTS. SOME SORT OF "FIX" SUCH AS AN AUTOMATIC LOCK SHOULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM LEAVING ROLLING AWAY WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. IN REVIEWING THE INFO AVAILABLE FROM NTSB I NOTED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS BEEN NOTED IN SIMILAR CASES INVOLVING ROLLAWAY ACCIDENTS AND THAT BOTH INDUSTRY HAS NOT TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILL UP MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THAT THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ FULL. CONTACTING 2 DEALERS I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO ISSUE THEY KNOW OF. UPON CHECKING ON THE INTERNET I FIND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS, IN ALL YEAR ROGUES, AND A COUPLE OTHER NISSAN MODELS. NISSAN HAS TO KNOW ABOUT IT. SOME SAY THEIRS STAY 1/4 OF A TANK DOWN, WHILE THE MAJORITY SAY AN 1/8 OF A TANK. THIS FALSE READING COULD RESULT IN PEOPLE BEING STRANDED IN DESOLATE PLACES, THEREBY THREATENING ONES HEALTH; OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY'S HEALTH, I KNOW A GENTLEMAN WHO BOUGHT A 2011, HAS LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT, AND HIS ALREADY HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

COLD DAY IN NYC. THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILS TO OPEN. AT FIRST I USED THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THEN I TRIED TO USE THE KEY AND IT WILL STILL NOT OPEN.

I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHARGED ME $250 TO FIX PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW MODEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY.

MY WIFE AND I LEASED A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE TWO YEARS AGO. AN ISSUE HAS SINCE TRANSPIRED. IN OCTOBER OF 2009 WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT OCCASIONALLY GOES ON REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE PERSON SITTING THERE. THIS LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OVER THIS LAST YEAR THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO ARISE. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN THIS PAST MONDAY WITH A ROUTINE CHECK. PRIOR TO MY DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF I DECIDED TO RECORD IT ON MY PHONE AS WE WERE DRIVING SEEING AS THOUGH I COULD NOT BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER THE CAR WAS THERE FOR A FEW HOURS, I GOT A CALL BACK SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THEY ARE READY TO RELEASE. I AM STILL NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I LEFT IT THERE AND CALL CUSTOMER AFFAIRS. FINALLY AFTER 4 DAYS, THEY RETURNED MY CALL. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY SPOKE TO THE SHOP AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZING ANY REPAIRS OR PAYING FOR THE RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND ARE SAYING THAT MY 125 LB WIFE MAY BE TOO LIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE BAG SENSOR. *TR
