What owners wrote

There was an accident that occurred with this car and the passenger airbag did not deploy, which could have caused a major injury to the passenger. I have noticed that this a know issue with the 2008 nissan rouge. The airbag sensor in not working and this is extremely dangerous especially, since an accident occurred. Nissan should be responsible to fix this issue, since they know they had problems with this model the year before.

Reported at 40,000 miles, March 2014 Crash

My airbag passenger side light on the dash and on the right hand side of the vehicle came on at 100,000. This made me research recalls. I can not believe all the recalls for this problem except for 2009. Even though the car was built in 2008. I guess we are going to wait until people die until this will be done. We are to pay for it when this was a known problem. I really like my nissan but I can not put my family at risk of being hurt or even killed. I will not repurchase a nissan again.
