2012 Nissan ALTIMA Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1320094
Internal NHTSA #	10908503
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2012
File date	21/09/16
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	All three passenger door lock actuators are failing. The problem occurs when the vehicle is stationary, with the engine and accessories off. When i activate the lock with the button on the outside of the driver's door, one or more doors sometimes fail to lock or unlock. The problem seems to happen more often in cold weather. The problem may happen less often when i use the remote fob to lock/unlock the doors. If the car thinks it is locked, and i open an unlocked passenger door, the alarm activates. This makes it very inconvenient for me to manually check that all of my doors are locked. If my car does not lock, my personal effects are at risk of theft. As a safety concern, if my car is not secured, i am at greater risk of being car-jacked.
