I PURCHASED A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO (1/7/10) THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. I WAS UNABLE TO ENTER MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DOOR OPENS FROM THE INSIDE, BUT I CAN'T OPEN THE VEHICLE FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WENT TO KINGSTON NISSAN, IN KINGSTON, NY 12401 AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND ADVISED ME THAT A NEW HANDLE WAS NEEDED. I THOUGHT THIS TYPE OF PART COULD BE EASILY FIXED, BUT I WAS WRONG. AS OF TODAY, (1/28/10) MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. KINGSTON NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND A REPLACEMENT PART AND THAT THE PART(S) ARE COMING FROM JAPAN AND WOULD ARRIVE UNTIL FEBRUARY 7TH, 2010. I MUST WAIT OVER A MONTH TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. IN THE MEANTIME, THE ONLY WAY TO ACCESS MY VEHICLE IS BY USING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND CLIMB OVER THE SEATS. IF I WERE PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO CLIMB OVER THE SEATS, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, I AM ABLE, BUT IF A PERSON WAS NOT, THEY WOULD EITHER HAVE TO RENT A VEHICLE OR USE SOME OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I FIND THIS PROBLEM INEXCUSABLE. A SIMPLE DOOR HANDLE PART MUST BE SENT FROM JAPAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ASSIST ME IN FINDING A BETTER SOLUTION. ALSO, I HAVE RECENTLY RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT NISSAN IS PROVIDING INADEQUATE SERVICE TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND MAYBE SUPPLYING INADEQUATE VEHICLES AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLES TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. TW*
