| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan murano. I took my car to the shop today because the doors are not locking or unlocking. My hatch only works some of the time as well. I found out that the actuactor is out on all the doors. This is crazy are out on a car that only has 79k miles on it and is 11 years old. The cost will be about 2k to get fixed. This is a safety issue, i have three small kids. Having to them stand outside while i climb inside to manually unlock the doors is unssafe. If i leave the car unlocked at night when we are out, that leaves us vulnerable for someone entering the car and hiding in it until we return. Once we get in we manually lock the doors but if there is an accident and we needed to quickly exit or emergency responds need to quickly get us out of the car, it is not possible. It is going to cost 2k to get this fixed. I have been reading forums, this is a big issue on the nissan murano, it needs to be a recall. If it is not a recall, i would like nissan accept some of the financial responsibility of this repair. |
