V35 Sticky Door Handle

[Ozeraser]

Howdy all,

Has anyone else seen this issue?

It doesn't seem to matter if its hot or freezing the passenger side outside door handle when pulled open it sticks maybe 1 times out of 5 so you get in and the door wont close untill you get out and push the handle towards the car and it clicks back in.

Anyone seen this or has any idea on what i could do? I have a Nissan service tomorrow so i can ask them but thought i would quickly pose the question.

Sorry, you meant when you pull the door handle to open, it kept sticking out in open position?

That's weird. Anyhow, you should have a check.

Yep when I open the door from the outside it sticks open. so the door wont close :S

Yeah will hopefully get them to take a gander tomorrow.

Ok. After you dealt with that problem, please post up the solution as well, as V-series are quite unique and complex cars.

Hope things go well for your V. Good luck.

So yep took the car in for its 30,000 service just for everyones information it cost 330 with fully synthetic oil.

The door handle i showed them the issue and they thought the bolt was loose but apparently when they took the trim off the mount for the handle was actually broken, and they had to take the windows and everything else included out to get to it. In the end they built a new bracket from scratch as they saw the price of the door handle and thought it easier and cheaper to make a bracket. So that just cost $100 more. And now the door works perfectly.

Now, THAT doesn't happen much any more these days. Good on those guys for being innovative and looking after you. They deserve a mention here - on the assumption you're happy otherwise with the services, that is. And they're Adelaide? Long way for me to drive for a service unfortunately...
