I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN A 35 MPH SPEED LIMIT AREA AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. AFTER LOTS OF RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE 2014 ROGUE HAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NOT THE 2013. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 4 MONTHS. THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WAS ABOUT 90,000. THIS CAR HAS NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
