Description of the problem | I have nissan titan 4 door 4x4, live in california, it seems that when the temperature drops the door locks get lazy and when i engage the remote to lock or unlock you can hear them clicking a bunch of times but never actually unlocking door so that i can get in. Sometimes as i am driving if i roll down any window and back up it will make the locking noises described. Then when i stop vehicle, put in park, key out of ignition, the driver door lock stays locked while the others unlock. My truck has roughly 40,000 miles on it. Its been to the dealership 3 x and they have witnessed the issue, claim they fixed it, and it happens again a few weeks later. Call me strange, but it seems to happen on the coldest days and gets better when warmer. What really freaked me out was that i had a child in the truck one time and i could not get the doors back open to get in. Basically the doors where stuck shut as i panicked pushed the unlock button on the remote but you could hear the door locks mechanism making noise but just as quick as it would unlock, it would lock write back up again. This is a huge issue and the dealer can't even figure it out. It is all over the internet with murans, titan, altimas, all having the same problem, but no cure just ideas on how to fix. Need recall!!! |
