Default Major window & door issue help plz!!

So both my doors won't open because the outside handles have busted assembles. My key fob is dead so I can't use it to roll the windows down & now my key will not roll down the windows anymore from the outside....

I put a new battery in my fob but I guess I have to re sync it because it's not working still. I called around las Vegas & no one has door handles so I'll have to order online and wait :/

I'll try resetting my window motor maybe that will fix my key lock issiue so i can roll down the window from the outside.

Assuming both handles and the key fob did not all break in the exact same instant? Not into maintenance much, are you? Pics of car?

The procedure for syncing your key fob with the car is super simple. Start off with that. Also, I've heard that abruptly releasing the outside door handle and letting it slap down and the door slam is what breaks the mechanism, but I could be wrong. I'm nice to my door handles, regardless.

Seems to be common due to yet another crappy Nissan design. Not exactly anyone's fault, but rough door use contributes to it, methinks.

Curiosity only - don't often see a 350 that has not been taken care of. Having both doors in that condition for a few months would drive me crazy. But maybe that's just me. FYI - for those who say crappy design, I've only heard of door problems a couple of times in 9 years. Mine have been flawless for 126,000 miles of DD.

I don’t understand how both driver side and passenger side door handles would break at the same time. The driver side handle would have more use unless you always had a passenger every time you drove your car. That is unlikely.
