| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan titan crew cab and when the temps drop below freezing the door handles or latches freeze up and you can not shut the door, you have to hold them closed with your hand while driving. There was nothing that i did leading up the the failure other than maybe wash my truck. I was told that there was no recall for this problem and that i would have to pay $500 out of pocket for something that could end up killing a child. I took a friend of mines child to school today and the door opened and when i closed it evidently did not latch because the cable was froze up. Good thing that he was in a car seat and buckled in cause when i turned the corner the door flew open. This is ridiculous and someone needs to step in and do something before someone gets hurt. |
