| Component | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The automatic door locks on my 2005 nissan murano have failed. This is a safety issue because i cannot lock nor unlock all my doors with a touch of a button. Additionally, the key fob does not work to allow me to unlock drivers door so if threatened i would be unable to get in/ get out of auto quickly. Likewise the powerlock does not allow me to lock all doors. Also the rear hatch doesn't work reliably due to the problem with the locking mechanism and the auto locks are the only way to open hatch. Should auto get a flat there would be no access to the spare. This is not only a convenience issue but a real safety issue- in the instance of a carjacking or to escape to the safety of my car. I cannot even contemplate all the scenarios which make this a safety issue however it clearly is. |
