My Titan was broken into yesterday and I thought I would post a warning to others regarding, what I view, as a flaw in the design of the driver's-side door. The thieves gained access by popping off the plastic cover around the keyhole on the driver's- side door. They pried up the metal above the keyhole and inserted a tool of some kind through the opening. Manipulating this tool they were able to open both windows on the front doors, thereby achieving alarm-free access to the vehicle by not opening a door. I am worried that this is common-knowledge on the street and may be the first of many, relatively easy, break-ins.

Sorry to hear you were victimized. Having had a car stolen under my nose a few years ago I know you must feel fairly ticked off. Yours is the first story I have heard about that with the Titan, but I have heard about the problem on other types of vehicles that have a similar express window down feature when the key is turned in the lock. The rear sliding window on a lot of trucks can also be popped out with little or some effort to gain access (although limited to the size of the window). I try not to leave anything in the truck that would tempt someone to break in it, but a motivated car thief is hard to stop.

I have heard of this being used on the chevy silverado trucks.Were theres A will theres A way.
I also heard there is alot of thieves stealing the tailgates so keep them locked.
Sorry to hear about your break in that really sucks..

No matter what engineers come up with thieves will find a way around it.
This is the reason I installed a video surveylance system on my property.
Easier to prosucute with video footage... if you want to prosecute :wink: . In any case you know who it was on your property, what time it was and what they did.
