The door handle on the driver side froze and won't open this is a safety recall but is only covered once and is a recurring problem for the 2009 cars . Driver side door won't open from the outside only the inside once it freezes it requires labor hours to tear apart the door to fix it.
2009 Nissan Rogue body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
During ice and snowy conditions the outside door handle mechanism fails not allowing you to open the door from the outside. It has happened 3 times on the drivers door and once on the passenger door. To fix the problem you have to take apart the door and re hook up a cable. There seems to be a VIN number recall for this but it doesn't include my rogue. Took it to the dealer to have it fixed and they wanted to charge 600 dollars for their flawed mechanism on 1 side!!! Major pain to have to open the door from the passenger side or reach over the seat to open the door from the inside. Seems to be a safety issue that nissan should fix when they know it is an issue with other nissan vehicles. Not happy with nissan or their service. The last time it occurred was 12/18/2015. But it has happened the last 3 winters and I fixed it .
The right door handle suddenly became unable to open the door from the outside.
Vehicle speed does not apply to this situation. The handle on the passenger door freezes or it sprung, inside the handle itself. We have had this problem fixed 3 times now since 2013, if you check there are thousands of 2009/2010 nissan rogues that have this same issue why? We were told by a person at one of the nissan dealerships that there appears to be weakness in the handles mechanism. This could be very dangerous should there be a fire, accident etc, and someone needed to get a person out of that side of the car. As it is now you can not open the door from the outside! My husband has had it fixed 3 times and we feel this has got to be a recall issue due to the recurrence of the handle breaking over and over. Not to mention so many others having the same issue. It is my contention that it should be fixed by nissan and not paid for by us this time. Your speed in handling this problem would be appreciated.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000. Updated 6/3/15*cn updated 10/3/2017
Driver and passenger doors wont open from out side.
I just received recall notice 15v‑032 for driver side water leak. My vehicle has leak on passenger side. Carpet is moldy and badly discolored. Any way the 2 are connected?
I purchased the vehicle from a reputable used car dealer used. The vehicle seemed ok very nice interior exterior appearance. On the test drive the vehicle would not shift into second or third , the dealer agreed to pay for a transmission flush. The next day when I got I n the car to drive to the nissan dealer to have the transmission service done, I noticed the vehicle being erratic, it felt like a tire out of round or a suspension issue. When I got to the dealer I noticed the brand new tires the dealer had installed were worn on the outside. So I had them check it out , the vehicle was out of alignment. Then I noticed the oil that had been put in the vehicle was wrong 10w20 instead of 10w30. While at the nissan dealer they performed the recall on the harness in the door. They also noticed the tires low and performed and alignment. After the transmission flush and fill, they also did the ECM updates. I noticed the vehicle was still doing the same thing it would not shift into 2nd sometimes or third. The next day. The TPMS light came on again. Nissan needs to be held responsible for the lack of quality and repair these major problems that have been reported by numerous complaints. I am stuck with a lemon of a car, because my finance company would not allow me to buy what I wanted, I have to pay for this vehicle for 6 years, and I am afraid I got stuck. Buyers need to be made aware of this low quality vehicle and the manufacturers lack of regard for complaints. 70000 miles is nothing for a vehicle today, but at the high cost of repair and replacement this is unacceptable.
Under the cold weather, both of the front doors couldn't open from outside since the linkage of the door lock frozen and the cable was detached. The problem was fixed under a recall, however, it is now happening again in dec 2014. It is a big safety issue if you have to open doors from the back to get access.
On dec.30 2013 went to open front drivers side door and heard a pop and door would not open, had to crawl through passenger side to open door. The next day went to open passenger side door and same thing happened. I took off door panel and could see where the cables had come off. Took to the dealer and they said on both sides the cables had popped out of the latches. They charged me $500.00 to fix both doors. Happened again in march 2014 on passenger side.
Driver and front passenger doors fail to open from the outside of the vehicle. I have to open back passenger door and manually engage the driver door lock from the inside. Took car to dealer and dealer stated that the charge to fix both doors would be $650. I do not understand how this can not be a safety issue that should be addressed by nissan and our government. I guess when it comes time to purchase another vehicle I will not visit a nissan nor infinity dealership. Nissan should be ashamed!
Defective door handle/locking assembly. Both front doors handle assembly froze up preventing me from opening both doors. It cost me $480 for the repairs to both doors. In the mean time my wife had climb from the back seat to ppt he door from the inside. Even though the car was out warranty and nissan did pay for the cost of the parts, I feel this should have been covered as a safety recall. Nissan says there no way to prevent it from happening again. I am very disappointed in nissan and most likely will not purchase another vehicle from them in the future.
My 2009 nissan passenger door will not open from outside, also driver door is the same, have to climb into back seat to open up. Took to fussillo nissan in ny. Tech said door cable was frozen and broke from handle. I see this is a major issue with all lot of people with this vehicle. Service manager admitted that this is a huge issue for everyone with this vehicle. This is not covered and the job was going to cost me almost $600. What is nissan doing about this???
Both front doors got jammed? And would not open. Car was in nissan dealership for almost 2 weeks to fix.
