Anyone know how to fix a front passengers side door lock that sticks when I try to lock, or unlock it? (The small plastic piece right below the plastic door handle that locks, and unlocks the door on the inside of the car. It moves slightly, but not all the way.)

 

If it's under warranty then take it in...or just rip your door apart to check it out...not that difficult

 

Ive had mine in 2 times and they replaced the mechanism which then had to go back again because it still didnt work.

 

My cars not under warranty its a 2004. Is it working right now?

 

Well kinda. I dont use the back door much and it was working but today we went to closed the door and it wouldnt close at first. Its like its hitting metal. Opened the door again and it worked that time.

 

Thats amazing, and you have a 2007. Doesn't give you much faith in the Nissan dealership to fix a simple problem. At least your under warranty, and not paying for there stupidity just your time.

 

Yeah just like when they had it in for my strut problem. The top strut nuts were on so tight it was a pain to put my FSTB on.

 

I've had the same issue with my driver's door, the lock kind of moves, but it doesn't lock or it doesn't open. I have to check every time I press the remote lock button to make sure my door is locked

Is there a way to fix this? Or do we have to change the lock?

Also, I've noticed this only happens when it's really hot outside, otherwise it works OK.

but no one has really posted any real fix yet

 

Oh man, so nobody wants to post a solution? Sounds like a door lock replacement...

Just checked, driver's door lock $58, passenger's $41.
