I purchase my 2008 Nissan Rogue brand new and 4 years after I purchase my vehicle the airbag light came on and is still on today as well as my seat belt light. My car has not been misused or abused and the airbag should last for the life of the car. There was a recall campaign bulletin for 2007-2009 for the passenger air bag occupant classification system ref# ntb08-095A that included the 2008 Nissan Rogue and a list of other cars, but when I took this issue to the dealer I was informed that my car was'nt selected for a recall. I'm a very safe driver so I have'nt had any accidents but I I'm in fear that in the event of an accident my airbag will not work due to the manufactures defect in making these vehicle.

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.
