“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.”

“Monday, october 16, 2017, while on my way to work, the driver's side airbag light began blinking. Before driving home that evening I reset it. The blinking stopped momentarily. I then scheduled an appointment (10.19.17) with action Nissan here is nashville, tn where they diagnosed the problem as an airbag spring malfunction which will not allow the airbag to properly deploy.”

“From 01/18/2018 to 03/10/2020 my car has been in the carmax maintenance and the local Nissan dealership a total of six times. They have torn my car apart replacing the roof airbags twice, the wiring harness twice and the other air bags and each time they say the fixed the problem only to have the airbags warning lights come back on. Currently it's on warning me I have a problem with my airbags less the 160 miles since last repair. This is a safety issue!!! Please respond.!”
