I have a 2005 nissan titan with 31,000 miles on it and it just failed a vehicle inspection, because the frame was rusted through in front of the rear wheels. I have owned the vehicle 10 years and 6 months and this seems very premature to have happen. Otherwise the body looks brand new.

2005 nissan titan. Door latch failure during cold weather below freezing. Live in pa, so time period of this weather is december - march. 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 . Yesterday 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. I must drive the vehicle with a ratchet strap from one door to the other to keep them shut. This is not safe but the only way to fix the issue at this time. 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. Frozen door latch problem not solved...please advise winter problems with titan from USA frozen door handles frozen doors wont close when cold!! Nissan new tsb for the frozen door handles!

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 door handles on my 2005 nissan titan freeze every time the temperature drops below freezing . I live in the northeast ! I bought the truck for safe winter driving but when the temperature drops below freezing the door handle freezes up and wont open . If you do manage to somehow get the door open you can not close it again until it thaws out . My wife and daughter both use this vehicle and I consider this an unsafe issue. I have also read many forums pertaining to this problem and am wondering why this has not become a recall.

Prior to leaving for a trip I stoped by the dealership that I bought the truck from informed me that the exhaust was broken due to rust I was also told that there was no issue with driving it to nc from ct on the way back from nc the trailer lights failed and I started receiving slip ABS brake and 4wd lights on my dash. I return the truck to the dealership and was told that the exhaust had melted the wiring harness where it had broke/rusted. I spoke to another dealership and was told this was a common issue where the wiring harness would melt when the exhaust brakes/rusts... I was also told that they had seen some where the whole tail lamp had melted.

After a freeze during the night, I went to open the driver side door. The door latch cable snapped the first time I tried it. This now poses a hazard if in the case of an emergency I cannot open the driver's door.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that all of the doors on the vehicle have failed to lock properly. The contact stated that when the weather became cold, it was hard to tell if the doors were completely latched shut. There were no warning lights on the dashboard indicating whether or not the door was not closed, but the doors don't seem to be secure. The dealer stated that the cable on the front drivers side door was broken, but the other doors are related to a technical service bulletin that stating that a seal allowed moisture in it and prevented from making the doors from latching properly. The failure mileage and current mileages were 45000.

I have a 2005 nissan titan and it has a problem with the door handle cables freezing up. It makes it impossible to open the door and if the door is opened, it will not close securely. I was able to get into the truck but the door came open as I was driving. Luckily, I always wear my seat belt or it could have gotten very ugly. I took it into the dealership on jan 4, 2011 and was told they could replace the cables for about $400 per door since it was out of warranty. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. Apparently it has been an ongoing problem on titans since 2004 and has never been corrected. Something needs to be done before someone losses their life. Thank you.
