Rear door locks

I sometimes sit in the 2nd row when I am with my wife and son driving. When we stop and park, I cannot get out of the rear door. I try moving the unlock arm under the door handle but the door doesn't open. Is it that "child locks" are on? Is that the lowest button on the drivers arm rest. Sometimes the rear doors will open, sometimes not. Not sure how the child locks work.

It sounds like you have the child locks on and that's why you can't get out of the door. Can someone open the door from the outside for you?

Definitely look up child locks in your manual to see how to engage/disengage them. On my 2024, it's a button on the driver's side door. Engaging the child lock prevents someone from being able to open the door and exit the car (presumably a child) unless someone (presumably a parent) opens the door intentionally from the outside.

I went to dealership and was sold on the telluride that I was shown and test drove. However, it was making a weird noise so I asked the salesman if the telluride in a different color had the exact same features as the black one I test drove. He replied," Oh yes ma'am its the same exact car. It was very close to closing time and they had another customer waiting to sign contract. Me assuming what the salesman said was true signed all my paperwork and transferred my belongings from my trade in. Once I got into the car and started to try out the features I found that OVER half the features were not featured on the vehicle I purchased. I called and made the dealership aware that I was sold on the features the black telluride had but liked the blue telluride I had purchased. I did let him know how displeased I was and how I felt scammed into the purchase. I was told that I could come in and get the black telluride to which I test drove and they would switch it out. I asked why couldn't I have what I wanted since I was committing purchasing this vehicle. I was told they didn't make the color I wanted with the features I wanted . I say all this to ask is there any way I could possibly get these features added. I really wish I had kept my Pathfinder after finding out what I thought I was purchasing wasn't at all what I purchased. I was told my car had already been sold and its only been 3 days today 5/8/2025
