Problem overview

Some Nissan Quest owners report experiencing issues with the driver's door being locked from both the inside and outside, leading to frustration and potential safety concerns. They suggest that resetting the door lock system by turning the key in a specific sequence may help resolve the issue. Additionally, some owners have identified problems such as a stretched release cable or a fallen linkage clip, which can prevent the door handle or lock from functioning properly. Others have found that a failed actuator can cause the door to remain stuck shut, necessitating replacement for proper operation. Furthermore, issues with the interior and exterior door handles may arise from broken reinforcement parts, requiring the removal of the inside door panel for repair. Lastly, some owners highlight the importance of checking for any safety recalls related to door components, as Nissan has previously conducted campaigns to address such issues.
