Nissan torchan bar slipping out on the left side what's could be the problem

The release bar on the left hand side of the driver's seat controls both the gas door and the trunk. Push down on it for the gas door release, pull up on it for the trunk door release.

Briefly, the alignment could be off, shocks/struts may need replacement or possibly the sway bar links (and the bar itself) could be broken.

The procedure is the same on every vehicle that uses this type of opening assist. So here is another persons instructions on a GM product.
Tools used:
Leather gloves!!
3/4" combo wrench (biggest I had)
1/2" deep socket (3/8")
6" extension (3/8")

1.With the trunk lid up and the curved part of the torsion bar against the rear trunk wall, I slipped the box end of the combo wrench around the torsion bar. I don't remember which way I had the angle of the box end facing. Just use what will work.

2.Then use the extension and the socket on the end of the torsion bar and push back so that you can get the combo wrench down past the curve, this is key. Once that is done you can remove the socket and extension. Pressure will push the wrench against the rear trunk wall.

3.Now comes the fun part. Push the wrench forward (VERY CAREFULLY) all the way past the side engine grill support and onto the peg of the hinge. The tip of my torsion bar just nicked the grill support. Make sure the wrench is seated well because it could slip around on you and cause your paint some damage and maybe even you.

4.Now that the torsion bar is on the hinge peg, you'll notice that your left with a wrench stuck on the bar... Just move (wiggle, twist) the wrench as far to the end of the torsion bar as it will go.

5.Take the extension, without the socket and place over the tip of the torsion bar. Push down while you slip the wrench past the peg. Remove the extension and slip off the wrench.

6.Now use the extension again to push down and put the roller (plastic, metal) bearing onto the peg.

7.Secure all the bolts, and lube it up.

That's it. Hope it'll help someone else. Please be careful.

Could be one of the belts slipping or worn out. Might even be the water pump bearing. Does the whine increase/decrease as you rev? Whine louder if you suddenly accelerate?

Fuse blown, switch stuffed, control module in door fritzed, window motor brushes worn out.

PS other Nissan motors can be slipped in from other Nissan models to fix a motor problem....and much cheaper..and if you go to a wrecker, make sure you get the correct motor for the correct side, yes Martha, the motors are Right side only, and Left side only, but the same same front and rear on that partcular side.
Refer to the serial numbers on the motors, get one that ends in the same number.......

As the fitment of tow bars to vehicles requires a modification plate to be added to the vehicle this is a job best left to the shop doing the job. Nissan currently have chassis/body failure from incorrect tow bars and incorrect fitting procedures. If the bars are fitted by anyone not qualified to do so and the bars are not certified then the owner faces criminal charges in the event of the bar failing and causing damage.

A speed sensor in the rear differential is bad, resulting in engagement of traction lock mode. Have the diff. serviced with friction modifier additive. Damage to traction lock friction plates can occur if not serviced soon (expensive)

Shock don't have any thing to do with ride height. It should be a coil or leaf spring, or on some vehicles, a torsion bar, that keeps it level.

There are several methods in which you can resolve this dilemma.
1. I believe it's a 24 mm bolt at the front crank in which with a large breaker bar, you can put the socket onto the bolt, position the breaker bar against the frame in the direction that you are trying to break the flywheel bolts loose.
2. Another method, although it would take a little more thought an caution, use a large pry bar, placing the flat end squarely between the teeth of the flywheel. Be sure to position the pry bar in such a fashion that it will not slip, holding the pry bar with one hand and carefully working the breaker bar with a "6" point socket, NOT a 12 point! I stress this over and over with week end warriors. Any bolts which are tight and require substantial force to break loose, require maximum contact of the tool. 12 points sockets will not hold as well as a 6 point. The same goes for wrenches.
