Hi all! My front passenger and driver doors won't open sometimes from the first press of key fob (sometimes I need 2 or 3 times press unlock button or even open from the rear seats).

I already tried to replace key fob battery https://replacekeyfob.com/2017-nissan-rogue and applied lube on locks but nothing changed. This fix problem for 2 days and then troubles back.

Is this means that door locks on front doors must be replaced? I watched price Door Lock Actuator costs near 50 pounds.

Is this a true, that J11B has additional seal on actuator and has not problems with door locks?

Door lock actuators, seems to be a common complaint on the QQ, not sure why they seem to fail, could be an electronic issue or possibility of water ingress.
Best to have the car checked at a Nissan Dealership. Do you have extended warranty?

I have no extended warranty :(
Is there some recall for actuators? If it exist, can somebody post part number of modified door locks?

Thank you

The system for lock/unlock is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM) and communication to the Key Fob...plus door sensors. Both doors failing unlock is unlikely actuator problems. Its a car security issue, so its difficult to diagnose and would need a dealers help to test and diagnose all parts of the system.

I wouldn't expect to see a recall on this system. Its fairly simple...except the BCM unit.

I have unscrewed door and open lock. After I add some new lubricant on lock and clear actuator, problem gone.
