| Description of the problem | 2004 nissan titan se 4x4 off road king cab anytime the weather is at or below 20 deg f both doors freeze shut. I cannot use the door handles on either side of the truck to open the doors. If i attempt to manually roll down the window to open the door from the inside the window is sometimes frozen as well and will not move. In weather around 20-25 def f the door handles will sometimes work to open the doors but the handles and internal door cables will not move back to their original position to allow the door to close and latch properly leaving the doors in an open state. This posses a safety risk to the occupants of the vehicle if it is driven in this state. This occurs anytime the ambient air temperature reaches around +20 deg f nissan has so far refused to repair the problem under warranty although a tsb ntb05-118a exists for this problem. I have replaced one external door handle that was broken as a result of excess force by trying to open a frozen door. |
