The Vehicle has developed this problem: the passenger-side door will not lock or unlock using either the key fob or the interior power-lock switch and has to be operated manually. Because the same failure has occurred on two consecutive model years, I am concerned this may be a recurring door-lock actuator defect rather than normal wear. I have a case number open with the Nissan Consumer Affairs. The case number is XXX. I also own a 2018 Nissan Rogue SV; the VIN number is [XXX], with the same exact problem. The case number for the 2018 Nissan Rogue is 56992161 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Summary of the Problem: The passenger side front (left passenger) door lock actuator on my 2019 Nissan Rogue has failed for the second time. This is a repeat failure of the same component, which was previously replaced approximately four years ago. The lock intermittently fails to lock or unlock using the key fob, interior door switch, and manual controls. This defect presents a significant safety concern. When the actuator fails: •The door may remain unlocked while driving •The door may fail to unlock, trapping occupants inside the vehicle •Occupants may be unable to exit the vehicle in an emergency •There is a risk that the door could open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion Because this is a passenger door, it directly affects occupant safety, particularly for children, elderly passengers, or anyone who may need to exit the vehicle quickly. Failure Details •Vehicle: 2019 Nissan Rogue •Mileage at current failure: approximately 74,000 miles •Door affected: Left rear passenger door •Failure mode: Lock actuator intermittently fails to lock/unlock •Methods affected: Key fob, interior lock button, and manual door lock •Prior repair: Door lock actuator replaced once before; same issue has reoccurred This indicates a pattern of premature failure rather than normal wear and tear. Frequency and Pattern: This appears to be a known and widespread issue affecting Nissan Rogue vehicles across multiple model years. There are numerous consumer complaints describing identical failures of door lock actuators on Nissan Rogue vehicles. A class action lawsuit (Khalifa v. Nissan North America, Inc.) was filed alleging a latent defect in Nissan door lock actuators across multiple Nissan models, including the Rogue. Although the lawsuit was administratively stayed pending arbitration, the underlying safety defect remains unresolved for vehicle owners. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate the repeated failure of door lock actuators in Nissan Rogue

at about 45,000 miles i noticed my passenger door lock intermittently not responding the lock and unlock from the key fob and button on the drivers door. had i not noticed this could cause a dangerous situation safety wise. i took it to dealer said actuator is not working all the time. at that point i declined to fix it as i do not utilize that door often but now at about 63,000 miles it is not working at all unless i physically lock and unlock the door with the inner lock switch on the passenger door. rest of doors work fine this should not be killing off already. *do not recall the official first date i noticed that but if needed i can ask the dealer so below date is an estimate

The driver's side door does not open consistently. It started happening around November 2023. It seems to be at random times. Sometimes the door will not open when I need to get in and other times when I need to get out. It will not unlock with the key fob or by unlocking it from the inside manually. I have to climb across the passenger seat and use that door.

the federal safety agency Recall -25V‑093 Key FOB Repair Nissan TSB for remedial actions on defective key fob disables the function of the key fob to be "closed". In essence, the "key" protrudes permanently as opposed to its' intended usage within device. The proper recall would have been Nissan to REPLACE these defective Key Fobs which they will NOT perform.
