What owners are reporting 2 most recent
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.
