We have a 2016 Nissan Rogue that is under the Recall ID. 22V-024. We have the water damage and that caused the wiring harness to malfunction. Nissan Dealership fixed the Harness problem but not fix the cause of this happening. We are getting water seeping up from the Drivers side floor. I Shop Vac and use a fan to dry it out but the water returns. On the recall letter from Nissan it states in Bold lettering #1 " Please stop driving your vehicle immediately and call Nissan." #2 "Park your vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures."By not fixing the root cause of the problem the harness will malfunction again which could lead to a fire inside the vehicle which is quite a safety issue. Nissan is aware of this problem but is refusing to fix the problem. Nissan Dealership had this vehicle in there possession for 5 weeks in July, 20222, into August, 2022,

My wife Lois (84) was driving the car. she was alone. The air bags on the passenger side exploded and sprayed her with its contents that appear to me to be deadly and can cause death or brain injury. The explosion caused her to move the car and she was bumped by a vehicle on the drivers side. That damage was very very slight. The big cost was the air bags. I have to pay for that because Allstate would not cover it because they said it was the air bags fault that they do not cover. I think that is correct. While the 7K cost hurts it is nothing compared to what this did to my wife. She is a very intelligent person with excellent memory. She ran our household paying all bills etc. Since the incident she has lost her short term memory. Now she need consent help with almost everything and we can no longer let her drive. The contact stated that his wife has suffered tremendously mentally due to the airbag explosion. There has been no assistance from the Nissan dealership or the insurance company, and the airbag company is still looking into the issue. As a result, the contact sold the vehicle as a loss.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

In April 2021 I purchased a 2016 Nissan Rogue. A few times I noticed that I did not have my seatbelt on while driving which for me, is highly unusual because it is the first thing I do once I start my engine. It is the AUDIBLE chime that alerts me. I then specifically started my engine and realized that the car DID NOT have a safety belt CHIME. ( FMVSS 208 S7.3 ) I took it to a Nissan dealer. The technician told me that Nissan DID NOT put a safety belt audible chime in ANY of their vehicles before 2020. I could not believe what I was hearing. Not only is this feature federal law but, it is also in the Nissan owners manual. It is not a feature that can be turned on or off. It is a federal requirement. Nissan is violating federal law and has been doing so for years at the expense of the American people. I am worried for my safety and the safety of others since it is difficult to DISCOVER that there is no audible seat belt safety chime and that it is a safety issue that might prevent one from putting on their seatbelt so that they don-??t go flying through the front windshield. Federal law states: -??manufacturers have an OPTION. They can EITHER use a seatbelt symbol AND an audible chime OR The words -?? Seat Belt-?? AND An audible chime-??. The audible chime is not an OPTION it is a requirement. The chime is NOT a feature that can be turned on or off in any Nissan vehicle including my 2016 Nissan Rogue. The consumer needs to know about this missing safety feature as per Federal law. I wonder how many lives have been lost because Someone just like me, needed that audible safety belt chime to remind them that their seat belt was not buckled and it cost them their lives. There is a reason that the safety belt safety law has two components. A VISUAL and an AUDIBLE safety belt feature. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards exist for the safety of the American people. With Nissan, this does not seem to matter.

The front passenger side seatbelt has become fully retracted and is currently in a locked position where it will not pull out at all. There has been no accident and nothing happened at all involving the airbag on that side, this situation has taken place all on its own and is now preventing me from carrying any passengers in the front seat due to the malfunctioning of that particular seat belt. This issue occurred while my car was parked in my own parking space with the engine turned off.

Major accident, swerved to avoid a deer and hit a pole. The airbag did not deploy. I was buckled and seat belt did not get. My head hit the windshield, requiring 8 staples in my head. Had the airbag deployed, I would not have had injuries to the extent I did.

Seat belt - back driver side seat belt would not fasten. The metal portion of the belt would not "click" into the seat piece. Purchased the vehicle less than 30 days ago from carmax, so it is covered by their 30-day warranty. Have an appointment to have this issue reviewed and resolved at the end of this month.
