Description of the problem | 2013 nissan pathfinder driver's interior door handle / mechanism broke: just drove home & parked in my garage... Then, while trying to exit my car like usual, using the interior door handle from the driver side location, something in the door made a noise and handle stopped working and will not unlock nor open the door...!. In order to exit the car from the driver position, i have to roll down the window to reach the outside handle (which works) or have someone open the driver's door from outside...! This is dangerous, especially if there is an emergency and myself or someone else, cannot exit the car, in a safe amount of time..! It is clearly really poor engineering & quality on nissan's part... And should be recalled due to overall safety issue.... |
