The door locks don't always work properly on my 2004 Nissan Murano (has been this way for quite some time) -- it sounds like they are locking/unlocking, but the lock doesn't actually engage. It's an intermittent problem, and it isn't always the same door. I've seen many others with the same problems on this vehicle, and it seems like an open for door for a bigger problem (car jacking, etc) -- you feel safe because you "heard" the doors lock, yet you can still open it from the outside. . . I feel that it could possibly warrant a recall for safety reasons.
2004 Nissan Murano front door locked when consumer opened it. Customer stated that the door stayed locked when she opened the door and remained locked upon exiting the vehicle. The consumer stated on a 95 degree day, she had her 5 month old infant in the vehicle when her. Her infant started to cry so she pulled into a parking lot to calm her down while exiting the vehicle to re-enter on her son's side the vehicle doors locked and would not open. The consumer stated that she called 911 and the fire department opened the vehicle but the infant was crying hysterically for 20 minutes and luckily the consumer had the a/c blowing. The consumer stated would like the manufacturer to be made aware of the dangerous situation and to be reimbursed for the fixing the life threatening defect. The dealer stated a/c belt was fraying.
All door locks quit working. This problem happened at once. My family and I can not lock or unlock doors.
On my 2004 Murano sl awd driver side door lock stopped working in 2008. I does not respond to remote control so I have to use a key to open/close it. In 2007 the lock became lazy then one day it stopped working.
