2008 Nissan Rogue Latches & Locks Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (NISSAN OF MURFREESBORO, 814 MEMORIAL BLVD, MURFREESBORO, TN 37129) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 29763518. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED ON ITS OWN AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND CLOSED THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE HOOD, TWO FRONT FENDERS, AND SUPPORT MECHANISMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOORS FROZE AFTER FREEZING RAIN/ ICE STORM. IN THE MORNING I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND START THE CAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLES. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD NO PROBLEMS.THOUGH I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROBLEM TO THE WEATHER AT THE TIME. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED IT HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM...COMMON WHY NOT RECALLED???????? I WAS QUOTED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP $450 TO $500.00.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE..NO ONE SHOULD CLIMB OVER OR HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOW FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE...ITS A CARJACKING READY TO HAPPEN!!! *JS

THE DOOR ACTUATORS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE FAILED REPEATEDLY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TWICE, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR ONCE, AND NOW THE REAR DOORS ARE FAILING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU CAN NEVER TELL IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED WITHOUT PHYSICALLY HAVING TO CHECK EVERY DOOR. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING, VEHICLE ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. SAFETY CONCERN, EXPENSIVE REPAIRS UNWARRANTED, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. NUMEROUS NISSAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAVE FAILED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS RENDERING THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING MECHANISM INOPERABLE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT EXORBITANT REPAIR FEES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FOLLOWING: 1. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALER). THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED BY OVER 300 CONSUMERS, OWNERS OF THE NISSAN ROGUE, MURANO, MAXIMA, AND OTHERS.
