The door handles and locks both fail to work when temperatures drop below around 20 degrees. Sometimes they simply wont open, and other times they will open but won't latch when the door shuts. The dilemma is usually simply frustrating, however sometimes they slightly latch and appear to be shut and fully latched, but then while the car is in motion the door will fling open on a turn.

The issue I am having is with my 2004 Nissan Titan. When it gets cold out, all of the door handle freeze and won't open. If you are lucky after a few hours and you do get it open, you can't get them shut. Several times I had to tie the seat belt around the interior door handle in addition to holding the door close so I could get home. I took my car to ricart Nissan and they said it will $1000 to fix all 4 doors. So, I contacted Nissan directly and they refused to fix it. This is a serious safety issue and someone is going to get injured and/or killed.

2005 Nissan Titan. Door latch failure during cold weather below freezing. Live in anchorage alaska, so time period of this weather is October - April. Door will not open, nor close properly from inside, or outside of vehicle. Had this problem last week, was not able to get back into vehicle for 10min while child was still in back seat. Yesterday 2 Nov driving on a highway door opened unexpectedly and passenger nearly fell out of vehicle. No one injured, however you can imagine the experience at highway speeds. There is a Nissan TSB that they will replace door locking mechanism if vehicle is under warranty. Nissan USA: tbns bx56aa / TSB 05118. However if vehicle is not under warranty they quoted me at $400+ per door x's 4 doors. This is unreasonable and a severe safety hazard for most of the country that experiences weather below 32degrees f. It is a known failure that Nissan USA knows about. This should be a mandated recall. There will be severe lawsuits filed if another passenger, my child, or myself cannot get into a vehicle, or unexpectedly falls out. Below are links to a Nissan Titan online forum with multiple other complaints about this. . Read more...

In cold temperatures the driver side door on our 2005 Nissan Titan crew cab is extremely difficult to or will not open. When it does open it sometimes will not latch when closed so the door would swing open if the vehicle is operated. If it does latch when closed it is impossible to open from the inside. This is a serious safety issue because it would make it impossible for the driver to exit the vehicle from the left side in case of emergency. This happens anytime the temperature is 30 degrees f or below.

Eventually brakes were replaced by dealer 6 months after the initial problem.
