| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan frontier door latches become non-functional when temperature drops to freezing. Door latch and handle locks up making it impossible to enter or exit the vehicle. Happened numerous times last winter and has continued again every time it freezes. Have to enter and exit through passenger side door making situation a safety risk. Nissan will not cover it out of warranty and in doing some research on the topic, has not successfully fixed the problem in other consumers vehicles still under warranty. Seems to be aproblem in both frontier and titan models. Http://www. Titantalk. Com/forums/titan-general-discussion/49432-frozen-door-latch-problem-not-solved-please-advise. Html http://www.
