| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan armada, and i believe this vehicle needs a recall. This vehicle has a rear door that lifts up to open. The locking mechanism is defective, and when it breaks, the rear door & window are impossible to open. I have researched this problem on numerous nissan armada forums online, and have come across hundreds of other owners with the same problem, and not just on 2005 models. These are just the complaints that made it to the website, which means there must be thousands of others out there. If this vehicle were in an accident & passengers in the rear seat needed to get out through the rear door, they would be trapped. There is an emergency release lever on the interior of the door, but when the lock breaks - this also becomes inoperable. |
