This is a huge safety issues. Being unable to open the right front door without leaning over from the driver's seat or using the key can make it nearly impossible to enter or exit the vehicle in an emergency. Having researched this online, this is an ongoing issue with the nissan and infinity suvs. Nissan is aware of the issue simply because of the availability of the replacement parts being instock at the dealerships. Nissan needs to take responsibility for the safety of owners and users of their products. There should be a notice sent to their dealers and, when the locking mechanism fails, needs to be replaced by nissan at their expense. |
