2021 NISSAN ROGUE — Complaint #2119628
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LOCK filed August 12, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2119628 (ODI reference 11680020) concerns a 2021 NISSAN ROGUE and was filed on August 12, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 1, 2025. The report was geocoded to Alabama based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as latches/locks/linkages:doors:lock, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN ROGUE cohort independently describe similar latches/locks/linkages:doors:lock failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2021 NISSAN ROGUE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Driver side rear door lock electrical actuator will not lock or unlock the door. Door has to be manually unlocked. In the event of an emergency, it will delay the egress of a passenger in the rear seat. The issue would make it near impossible to unlock the door in an emergency especially if it were submerged in water. This is a safety issue and has occurred on a number of these Nissan vehicles. The vehicle is available for inspection if requested.
