THE REAR DOOR ON MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA HAS FAILED AND IS KEEPING ME LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRACED TO BE A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR, WHICH FAILS TO TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE ACTUATOR PART INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS: 905507S000 0892068-A B/D ACTR 03 09 26. A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET WILL SHOW ANYONE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT ON ALL NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES, ALL YEARS, AND THEREFORE MUST BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY DEFECT. WITH THIS CONDITION, IF THERE WAS EVER A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND/OR FIRE, THE OCCUPANTS LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT THE BACK SEATS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OTHERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UNDER THIS SITUATION, THE PASSENGER/OCCUPANTS ARE PERMANENTLY LOCKED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ANY ACCIDENT LEADING TO A VEHICLE FIRE, AND THE OCCUPANT WOULD BURN TO DEATH. TO SEE HOW COMMON THIS SITUATION IS, DO A GOOGLE SEARCH USING PART NUMBER "905507S000" IN THE SEARCH FIELD. *TR
