2009 Nissan Rogue

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 AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER MY 8 YEAR OLD WAS SEATING IN THE FRONT SEAT WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. SCAN CODE B1018 OCCUPANT SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. CALLED NISSAN WHICH NOTED THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2008 ROGUE MODELS AND STILL HAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THAT YEAR BUT MY 2009 MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED. BUT IRONICALLY THE SAME EXACT ISSUE EXIST WITH BOTH MODEL AND FIXING THE ISSUE WILL COST ME $1000. THERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE FOR NISSAN ROGUE MODELS 2008 - 2010 BUT NISSAN IS TAKING NO ACTION ESPECIALLY WITH A MAJOR AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE LIKE SO.
