| Description of the problem | 1- normaly exiting the car my 3. 5 yr old son got his right foot crushed by the right passenger automatic sliding door which started closing by itself. 2-even after recall has been performed for the sliding doors not locking this door seems to have a mind of its own and it is not acceptable nor safe that we can't exit the vehicle without fear of injury!!! Specially for both of my young sons. - at his moment the car has been reported 2 times to the car dealer and the fix has been the additional lubrication of the door and cleaning of the contacts. In addition to the recall repairs to the locking mechanism which has never been and issue. Last, my wife was also a victim of this fault with a nasty bruise to her forearm. I truly beleive that immediate action is required from nissan, to backup the advertised label for the vehicle of mommy car hence young children are comming in and out the car, using this doors since as responsible parents we have assing the back row seat as the safest place.*ak |
