Disabling system for a lock rod in a vehicle door's locking system

A door for a vehicle, comprising:

• an inner door panel and an outer door panel defining an interior door cavity therebetween;
• a handle assembly, a latch assembly with a latch and a linkage with a lock rod housed in the interior door cavity as part of a locking system for the door, the handle assembly and the lock rod sharing a connection therebetween, and the lock rod and the latch assembly sharing a connection therebetween, with the handle assembly and the latch assembly together supporting the lock rod by opposing ends thereof for laterally orthogonal movement by which the linkage operates to actuate the latch;
• an impact beam housed in the interior door cavity and crossing both an outboard push site and an inboard push site at the latch assembly from laterally between the latch assembly and the outer door panel;
• an attack member housed in the interior door cavity, the attack member projecting into the interior door cavity from the inner door panel, and facing the lock rod from laterally between the inner door panel and the lock rod;
• and
• a push member housed in the interior door cavity along the impact beam, the push member projecting into the interior door cavity from the outer door panel around and laterally beyond the impact beam, and facing the latch assembly at the inboard push site from laterally between the latch assembly and the outer door panel;
• whereby
• when the door collapses when compromised by a side impact event, the inner door panel carries the attack member to apply attacking force to the lock rod, and the outer door panel carries the push member to apply counterpart pushing force to the latch assembly at the inboard push site in coordination with counterpart pushing force applied by the impact beam to the latch assembly at the outboard push site, to thus break the connection between the lock rod and the latch assembly.
