| Description of the problem | I noticed my passenger side door lock would not automatically lock or if i manually locked it would not unlock by pushing the lock button in my 2005 nissan murano probably about three months ago. So now i have to manually lock and unlock that door everytime. About two weeks ago i was going to load groceries in the back of my vehicle and when i hit the security unlock device the back hatch never unlocked. So now i can never open my back hatch because there is no key entry on the trunk. This is a huge safety issue. I took it to my local mechanic and he said it was the locking system in the car and would cost me over $700. 00 to fix it. Nissan needs to take care of this because it is happening to alot of people and it is only a matter of time before an unsafe situation occurs and is in the media due to not having the ability to lock or unlock your car doors. |
