Why is my Nissan Rogue not opening the door?

I found the problem!!!!!.

Where is the latch on the Nissan Rogue?

The remote opens the rear doors only, then you have to climb in and reach the inside front latch to open the door. Then get out the vehicle and enter thru the front door. Nissan had or has recall on the 2008 rouge for the same problem. Why not on the 2009 Rogue?

Why is the driver’s door not opening from the outside?

The linkage ‘fell off’ from the outer door handle and the driver’s door would only open from the inside. Dealer fixed it in less than an hour and it has never reoccurred. Happened to me today while xmas shopping… Won’t open from the outside, so I have to open the passenger door, then lean across and open the driver’s door from the inside.
