Passenger door won't open.

I have a Nissan Murano 2004 with approx 66,000 miles. . . All four actuators failed at the same time. When I looked into this issue on line, I see that many other Murano owners have the same issue. When the actuators fail you are no longer able to look the doors, there causing a security issue, especially if you have children. I find it strange that so many people are having the same problem. My husband and parents have 2004 model cars, and have no issues with their looks. Please hold Nissan responsible for this issue.

After 32,000 miles my 2007 Nissan Murano door locks began opening a closing while driving. This began after replacement of battery by dealer. The door locks open and close with no with no specific timing. Sometimes clicking occurs immediately other times after a half hour of driving. Went to dealer and they could not duplicate. Now passenger door and rear door locks do not unlock unless double click of the door switch on drivers door. Dealer suggested I return to replace the actuator. I am concerned this may be very expensive. This should be a vehicle recall due to the low miles year and make of vehicle. So why is it a safety issue? 1. Having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. When locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. If anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. If the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2. Nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. It's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. Remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. The drive "thinks" the door is locked, when in reality it's an "open door" for carjacking or robbery. This failure is an intermittent of operation. Sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. In addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. In emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. Since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar.

My 2004 Nissan Murano began having a "tinny" noise coming from the front passenger door. I thought that perhaps the insulation had fallen down, and took the car in for servicing on 1-13-05 to ferman Nissan in tampa, florida. I was told that the dealership could not repair the door, as the door beam was broken, and that the body shop would have to replace a door beam. In December 2004, the car had been involved in minor vandalism. A brick had been thrown at the rear of the car, and there was sand on the passenger door. There was barely a dimple on the exterior of the door, but the service department surmised that someone kicked the door, which was why there was sand, and that the door beam was broken in the process. I took the car to a body shop for an estimate in April 2004, and they were surprised that the door beam could have been so easily broken, as this was supposed to be a safety feature of the car. I was told that because it was a safety feature, a door beam cannot be repaired, and that the door would have to be replaced. I contacted Nissan USA in on April 7, 2005, and explained my concerns that the door beam could be so easily broken, with barely a mark on the exterior, and this would not protect passengers in a crash situation. I offered them the opportunity to inspect the door, as a possible manufacturing defect, and possibly pay to replace it, but, per collette, they were not interested in inspecting the door. Neither was the local dealership, ferman Nissan in tampa, florida. However, I wanted to be sure that this incident was recorded somewhere, as I am still concerned that the door beam could be so easily broken, causing a potential safety hazard. I have since had the door replaced, and the expense was covered by my insurance company.

Nissan Murano has dangerous design defects compounded by unresolved electronics problems. Design flaws: 1) ineffective defroster system , 2) long-armed wipers clog easily, 3) all doors must be unlocked to get gas (inviting carjackers). The defroster-wiper problem was made worse by electronics. While I was clearing windows the car locked in 13 degree weather. The car: 1) locks doors at random intervals , 2) puts the windows down without warning (the service manager says, "don't not leave valuables in this car!"), 3) the remote entry system often does not beep requiring that I check all doors (especially given the other problems with locks), 4) now the car sometimes tells me that the driver's door is open (when it is not). The car is virtually new (less than 6,000 miles). Nissan knows they have this problem. There is an internal service memo it. But when consumers complain they are "stone-walled" with, "we could not duplicate the problem. " last Friday my caracted up at the dealership. The service manager acknowledged in writing on Nissan letterhead. This problem exists and it is in a number of models -- maxima, altima, titan trucks, and Muranos. Nissan shouldrecall all of the affected vehicles, provide rental cars while repairs are made, and to issue credit vouchers for all of the past aggravation they caused by their failing to provide good-faith solutions to the problems they know exist.
