My daughter was in the driver’s seat when her boyfriend got out of the front passenger seat & slammed the front passenger door setting off all side curtain airbags on the passenger side of the car. This happened on August 15, 2026. The vehicle has since been deemed totaled, by insurance & a 3rd (working with the insurance company) has taken possession of the vehicle.
Rogue got on fire. I’m a job parking lot fire department had to come and the fire.
