So I've posted a thread regarding a problem with my door a few week ago.
https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...nside-out.html
I regret completely not listening to some of my friends informing me about cheap nissan parts and I'm not talking about the improperly placed plastic trims on my dash but..... this is out of hand.
So my girlfriend is driving my car right at this very moment while crying to me on the phone (I'm in brooklyn while she's in Buffalo on the highway) that the DRIVER door had just opened randomly a dozen of times and said she almost crashed the car trying to hold onto the door while braking with the snow around. It properly closes and then it opens when she drives because I assume nothing is latching the door to the body. And repeats and shes on the highway scared as **** right now. The dash doesnt show a warning light with door open when it closes but then a few seconds later after driving the door will just swing freely and the warning light comes on. I'm here thinking what if she didn't have her seat belt on and she fell out. Her little baby sister is in the backseat and shes on the highway pulled over.
Dealership mentioned last week I CAN"T have this covered on warranty at all? this is fking hazardous.... this is ridiculous. I've heard nissan have certain unreliable parts but BOTH malfunctioning doors.. One that doesnt wanna open and one that opens randomly.. regardless if its the winter cold with the snow and freezing the mechanism or whatnot this is b/s
I've heard from the dealer mentioning different cases of the door latch freezing and not opening but where do I go from here guys. Please throw some light on this situation. I wanna file for a lawsuit forreal. I aint paying anything to fix this bullsh* when someone half *** the production of the car doors and almost killing my possible future wife.
Now she's driving her sister home on the highway with one hand on the door and one hand on the wheel and not to mention its snowing.
Edit: 20 min later. She drops her little sister home and is on her way back to my apartment claiming the door seems to be properly shut and not swinging open......
If anyone is wondering if anything was in the way of the door there wasnt anything there. She check multiple times and closed the door and the door still swung open.
Any one have any ideas of what exactly happened to the door?

I don't get it. This is an isolated incident. You're the first person I've ever heard of with a G35 that has improper door closure.
If anything, it's your fault. You knew the problem existed weeks ago, and you failed to get it fixed. This is exactly like someone who knew a seat belt was broken in their car, but still kept driving it anyways, or someone who knew that the headlights were broken, but still drove it at night anyway in pitch black. You had plenty of time and early warning signs that your door was failing.
You knew the risks, and you took that risk by letting someone drive your car with broken doors. If I had a broken door I would try to bring it to the dealer or autobody shop right away.
And as for your blame for Nissan having "shitty" parts, they don't. They last just as long as any other car on average, so I wouldn't call those shitty parts. You just got unlucky. Maybe your door was replaced before and installed by a bad autobody shop...who knows?
Now that you make it sound both your doors are failing, which is very very suspicious. I've never heard of a door failing, let alone two. Someone played with your locks/doors man. Maybe people tried breaking into your car and used those metal rods police use and tried jamming in both your doors which broke the latch. After all, you do live in NY... This is extremely suspicious, and I'm actually leaning towards someone trying to break into your car and messed up the latches. Another scenario is if you locked your keys inside your car and you needed the police to open your car door for you.
I live in Boston. which is colder than NY, and my car is older than yours and I've never had a door problem at all. There are thousands of G owners here and I don't see any problems like yours.

I don't know about everyone else, but I would be trying to help out my gf instead of having a fight on the Internet about non-related things like how awesome my other cars are. Pretty lame imo.
It's Xmas eve guys. Enjoy it!

Lol I agree with you faiz!!! Totally no need to boast about what's not yours ahahaha bet you one million dollar's big bro doesn't even let you start that car smh... just worry about your own car imo!
Well said from a jealous biznatch. 
are you still butthurt from me disrespecting the nissan name? don't get me wrong I like their cars but they're not the best made cars out there.
How doesn't owning a McLaren and a garage of benz mean shyt lol, Need pics?
its a sign of wealth. Like they say if you can make it in NYC you can make it anywhere. OH AND WAIT? where you from texas? lol i'm sure that aint even a problem.
and by "family" owning the car I mean my blood related big brother. not a distant "family". You sound pretty hurt. I'd give you a ride in your dream car if you beg but I dont hang with d1cks. Lol your only comeback to you being jealous is that I speak nonsense? maybe thats why you'll forever be at the bottom and maybe one day I could step on you

In here boasting about your brothers car... Get a life! Clearly IF you had HIS kind of money you would not be driving a G35... Much less one with bald rear tires. Sounds like YOU can barely afford the basic maintenance on the car YOU own. So please stop.
