Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
Problem: On certain minivans equipped with a power sliding door(s), at an ambient temperature below approximately 40 degrees fahrenheit, the actuator for the power sliding door(s) may experience binding due to an out-of-specification condition. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in "park." if the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of "park" while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage.
Risk: This can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration, and an occupant could fall out of the door and be injured.
Fix: Dealers will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(s). Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
