Your airbag warning light came on when you started your 2020 Nissan Rogue. A diagnostic test at the dealer revealed that the airbag control module under the passenger seat had failed and needed replacement. The repair was completed at around 55,000 miles, and Nissan did not offer any assistance despite being notified of the issue.

I purchase the vehicle at 58,000 or so miles, used at a dealership. The next day I returned the vehicle because while driving out of town, the vehicle said: Warning, Warning -- This vehicle is not safe to drive. Some components may not operator correctly. Do Not Drive this vehicle. This happens when you're on the highway above 50 miles per hour. There was a smoke smell also inside the car and outside. Dealership said it was the breaks and kept the car 45 minutes to repair the breaks. They said this vehicle was never in an accident and past MD Inspection but the last page said, vehicle failed. They never explained why it failed inspection the first time. The dealership cannot fix it and ignores me mostly. they said its a sensor issue, a settings feature issue and to bring in the vehicle to reset the settings. the dealership said in so many unspoken words, its your problem. Ive had the vehicle about 2 weeks now.

The airbag indicator light went on a couple months ago and they fixed it but said that a rolling water bottle under the driver's seat caused the airbags to get unplugged. A few months later, the airbag light went on again and it was disconnected again. The dealership is stating there's no way to prevent the airbags from getting disconnected.

Our airbag light (on the dash) came on and the "passenger air bag off" light came on as well, we took it to the dealership and they determined the airbag system needed to be replaced after owning the vehicle for only 1 year and told us that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and to limit our driving, if we were to be in an accident our airbags would not go off.
