| Description of the problem | The door locks don't always work properly on my 2004 nissan murano (has been this way for quite some time) -- it sounds like they are locking/unlocking, but the lock doesn't actually engage. It's an intermittent problem, and it isn't always the same door. I've seen many others with the same problems on this vehicle, and it seems like an open for door for a bigger problem (car jacking, etc) -- you feel safe because you "heard" the doors lock, yet you can still open it from the outside... I feel that it could possibly warrant a recall for safety reasons. |
