Driver side Door does not open
Hello guys,
Hope you can help me with the advice (I did not find info using the search) please. Today when I put my 2013 Maxima in "park" position I was not able to open the driver side door - had to eventually exit through the passenger side. The door locks seem to be working/clicking, but the door remains firmly shut (the other 3 doors are OK). I could not open it from inside or outside using the automatic intelligent key or the manual key.
Is there anything I can try (or not aware of) before I pay a visit to the dealership?
Thanks.

Have you looked to see if anything is caught in tbe door? I had a nice london fog coat that i somehow wedged in a door and had a similar experience as you. Unfortunately, i also had a ford pinto that the door release mechanism failed that took me an afternoon and a few trips to the junkyard to find a piece of plastic holding the latch lever in place that was serviceable. I hope it is just a scarf or seatbelt in which case, a few hurculean shoves from the inside will mitigate.

. I am afraid it might be latch that somehow got stuck or jammed now. In that case I probably won't be able to open it myself, especially being not too technical.
