| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan murano: four of six lock actuators are failing simultaneously - the passenger front door, both rear doors and the rear cargo hatch. Failure were intermittent until 5/9/10 when all failed completely at the same time. You can press the lock/unlock switch and the doors will audibly appear to lock. However, they may or may not have presenting a security hazard - car jacking, stolen property, etc. Nissan has told many of us owners the problem can be fixed by replacing all the actuators at a cost of $1,600+. I find this unacceptable. There are just too many stories of this same failure in muranos and other nissan models that it is simply normal wear and tear. |
