Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Automatic door locks on all four doors malfunctioned, not autolocking or unlocking with smart key, or door handle button. Passenger side is intermittent, so it is uncertain when door is locked or not and I cannot get my child out of the car from the outside without someone else being inside to manually unlock the back doors. This is an emergency safety issue and requires recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10520775, filed 2013-06, 59,442 miles“On monday, july 26, 2010 I started my 2009 Nissan Murano and the passenger side window went down and will not come back up. Also I noticed the door lock button was actually unlocking my car. I took it to the dealer and they said the door lock actuator needed to be replaced. After seeing this seems to be a common problem experienced by many other owners I thought I should report this.”
NHTSA complaint #10345798, filed 2010-07, 33,000 miles“I was involved in an accident where the other driver failed to yield and we crashed,the airbag deployed and when I came to I heard my son screaming then I tried to open driver side door and it would not open the unlock button did not work either nor did the window. …”
NHTSA complaint #10325986, filed 2010-04, 11,000 miles“At about 65,000 miles the driver door lock actuator quit working. All 4 door lock actuators actuators quit working shortly after. This is a safety issue because my child's door could be opened now since they no longer will lock automatically. I am afraid to manually lock the doors in the case of an car accident in which we were incapable of getting out of the car to save him, then emergency personnel could easily open doors if actuators worked. The unlock buttons will not work. …”
NHTSA complaint #10496706, filed 2013-02, 60,000 miles“The passenger door behind the drivers door lock does not lock/unlock with using either the fob or when the car starts moving and all the door locks should lock automatically. This is a huge safety issue, either the door is not locked and someone can carjack it or if we had to evacuate the car and we had manually locked this door, anyone sitting in that seat would not be able to get out unless they can unlock it manually themselves, if someone wanted to try and get them out externally, not go to happen! …”
