“My door locks on my 2005 Infiniti fx 35 work sporadically. It started with the left front door and is now affecting the right front and well as the rear hatch. It is hit or miss with the issue on the rear hatch, but for the front doors I must manually lock and unlock the doors.”
NHTSA complaint #10369799, filed 2010-12, 80,000 miles“Some time ago, the power locks stopped locking or unlocking. When it gets hot and the vehicle is in the sun for some time, the doors do not want to open. Some times it could be all the doors or just some. We had to climb over the back seats to unlock the doors because the lift gate is the only one that got unlocked. Some times we need to wait for a while pressing the remote hoping to get lucky and one door will unlock. Not even the key works to open the driver side door. …”
NHTSA complaint #10474329, filed 2012-09, 75,000 miles“Automatic door locks will and will not sporadically open the door locks. My wife drives alone and enters her car in a dark undercover parkade for employment daily. When leaving it is a coin toss as to whether the door lock actuator will or will not unlock the door. Upon taking it to the local herrin gear dealership they gladly fixed the problem for $600.00 per door, I only did one first as I do not believe in throwing money in a pit and hoping that it will work.. …”
NHTSA complaint #10364233, filed 2010-11, 40,000 miles“I have a 2005 Infiniti fx 35. It only has 62,000 miles on it and every one of the door lock actuators have failed. I feel its a safety issue, because you cannot get in the vehicle from the outside except for the drivers side door with the key. The other doors do not have a key to gain access so you have to go through the inside of the vehicle to manually unlock it. Each door has to be manually unlocked or unlocked from the inside. I had to replace each door actuator which range from $270 dollars to over $300 not including labor. …”
NHTSA complaint #10400024, filed 2011-05, 62,000 miles“The door lock actuators are failing in a lazy manner in my 2005 inifiniti FX35. It started with the passenger side lock and now includes the rear hatch. When unlocking or locking the doors either with the fob or with the switch on the driver side door, these doors intermittently will not lock or unlock. The frequency at which it does not work is increasing with time. The danger is that I have to manually check if the door are locked. Even when they are locking I can never be sure if they are locked because I never know when they will stop working again. …”
