| Description of the problem | All the actuator motors on our 2005 nissan murano suspiciously went bad at the same time. The car is much easier to gain entry to from a possible third party. In both our neighborhood and neighborhoods we may park the vehicle, there have been many break-ins. If the doors are not easy to lock, a potentially hostile party could gain entry to the vehicle with the driver in it and cause bodily injury if not death. While the door locking mechanism failure is intermittent, inability to have constant reliance on the door locks is dangerous in case of an emergency. The nissan dealership quoted us upwards of $1,600 to fix this hazardous situation and we frankly cannot afford that even though it is a matter of safety. Nissan needs to cover this issue because as i have seen, it is not limited to our vehicle, but countless other nissan muranos. |
