| Description of the problem | Drivers side door handle. Something inside broke and the handle swings freely. It will not open the door. We have to roll down the window to get out of the car. I have been researching online and apparently this is an ongoing issue for nissan altima 2013-2015. I do not understand why there has not been a recall about this issue. We arrived home and i tried to get out of the car something inside the door snapped, and i'm no longer able to open the door from inside the car. If the car were to catch on fire and the electric window does't open i would be trapped. |
