Driver door lock function not working properly. Door will not unlock using the push button or key fob function. Sometimes I have to open driver door through the back passenger door or getting in through the passenger door. While inside, driver door will not unlock and have to unlock door by rolling window down and opening from outside. Sometimes the door stays locked, door latch stays locked and causes door to not close.

On [XXX], my grandson and I went to the Nissan Dealership, 1777 N. Central Expressway, Richardson, TX 7080 to inquire about a safety recall of the key fob for a 2017 Nissan Rogue. My grandson was told that he could make an appointment for the dealership to insert a block in the fob so the key remains in the extended position. That position is very difficult to carry in a men's pants pocket. It is also a cheap remedy to the problem. As we were driving along the freeway to make a U-turn, the car stopped mid-turn, with oncoming traffic both behind him and in front. He tried to restart the car but it didn't start. He tried again and it finally started. I cannot believe the federal safety agency would allow Nissan to treat this safety issue so callously just to save a few dollars. I am now constantly worried for my grandson and regret helping him buy this vehicle to attend college. We purchased the vehicle on [XXX] so we were checking things out. The dealership did not tell us anything was wrong, we read about the recall in a Carfax. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The ignition key on the jack knife key fob unlocked itself into the folding position, which pulled the key out of my vehicle's ignition while I was in motion on a freeway going approximately 60 mph on highway 99. My whole vehicle suddenly began slowing down without me realizing what had happened. I was able to safely pull to the side of the road and discovered the jack knife key fob had unlocked hanging downwards forcing the ignition key to come halfway out of the ignition. No warning lights went off.
