Doors won't lock, open or latch by model year
What owners say
Front passenger side door lock stopped working and now only works manually from the inside
Front passenger and driverside doors will not open from the outside. With intermittent inside door opening issue as well. Occurs in cold weather freezing areas.
Defective door handle/locking assembly. Both front doors handle assembly froze up preventing me from opening both doors. In the mean time my wife had climb from the back seat to open thedoor from the inside. One time she stopped at the top of the driveway to get the mail on a snowy windy day, she pulled up next to the mailbox got out for a second and the door blew shut locking my 2 year old son, the keys and her phone in the back seat thankfully neighbor was home and used a coat hanger to activate the latch . This could have been much worse. I called the local dealer ship and paid 99 bucks to diagnose and they say I need to replace the latches and it will cost about 900 bucks !! Online and another mechanic have said this is a recalled issue and the latches freeze and they will replace free of charge and there is even and addendum to ad additional insulation to latches to prevent future freeze ups. I am going to try to call another dealership and corporate nisaan if I have too. Some one please help me with information on this saftey issue.
Passenger door will lock by itself when no one has locked it. Electronic door locks takes two or three presses of the key to open.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan rogue. While the vehicle was stationary, the passenger door would not open when prompted. The contact stated that the passenger door would not open even while unlocked. The vehicle was repaired and the inside of the door panel was removed, but the failure recurred. The parts that were replaced were unknown. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
Both front doors will not open from the outside after being exposed to freezing temperatures in our driveway overnight. Despite having only 44,000 miles on the odometer we were told by a nissan rep that they would not repair the car. If we want the car fixed we were told by the nissan dealer the cost would be about $700. Because the doors will not open from the outside it is a safety hazard in the event we were incapacitated inside the car,or a child were to get stuck inside the vehicle.
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.
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.
Door lock froze to due the cold weather. Nissan rogue was in a garage when the incident occurred. This same problem has happened the last 3 years and nissan has always fixed the problem until now. Dealership is saying that the cost of repair will be $800. I will never buy a nissan again and they have the worst customer service of any major car company I have ever dealt with.
Driver and passenger doors wont open from out side.
