Searched for this did not see anything on it. My 08 driver door will not stay open on a slight hill. Drives me nuts. Am I the only one with this problem?

 

It's all isaac newton's fault for inventing gravity.

 

I was waiting for someone to tell me to park heading down hill! LOL.
I am just trying to figure out a way to fix it.

 

Vice grip? Lol

 

U can fix it. Just replace the door-stay-open-rod-thing by the hinge lol

 

The door hinge is a dealer part and you'll have to replace it.Never replaced mine but i'm sure you could.

 

Problem is, they never worked very well at all. I was hoping someone had a good fix for this stock issue.

 

no, they are just worn out. you gotta hit up the stealership for some new ones.

 

Hold it with your foot?

 

My driver's door does the same thing. When I first got the car, the door didn't open smoothly and creaked like a haunted house door. Had no problems with it not staying open until I lubed it. I spray lubed the eff outta it, and I probably used too much since it will close itself if parked on a sideways incline leaning towards the passenger side.

 

You have what are more commonly known as "automatic doors."

They're an unwanted option that comes on quite a few Nissan models.

Specifically the G35 coupe.

 

I was reading that on the infinity sites as well. I guess they perfected it on the G before the did it to the Maxima...

 

Actually, the company that perfected it was Pontiac, with the Trans Am.

Doors on a Trans Am will take your whole leg with them if it just so happens to be in the way when they swing themselves shut.

I actually don't mind that my door closes itself. Especially when I've got a handful of school books or something. It saves me having to rearrange everything I'm carrying so I can shut the door.

OP, just realized you're in Nashville. What part? If you don't mind my curiosity.

 

South of Nolensville, basically in Triune.

My driveway is on a hill with a gate so it's a pain the ars.

 

i think the newer maximas do this too because my door has almost chopped my leg off on several occasions. it closes itself on level ground...
