Starter Solenoid Problems of Nissan Murano

1. 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. Someone can 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 intermitance of operation. Sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. In addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. 3. 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. And the Murano's design is such that it's not easy to comprehend if it's not your car, for instance a rental car. I can easily understand how some people would be confused how unlock a door using the manual level in an emergency when they virtually have no experience with it. In emergencies every second counts. The locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. Some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers) will forgo getting them fixed, putting their family members at risk with the above mishap examples. This shouldn't be, Nissan should recall them. It's only a matter of time till someone gets robbed, hurt or killed from a malfunctioning door lock.

Nissan refuses to recognize a known problem in the Nissan rogue in it's big brother the Nissan Murano. The door actuator solenoid goes out and locks people into or out of their car, where the remote, key, door handle or crowbar cannot open the door causing a potentially fatal safety issue. If a passenger is unable to leave the vehicle in an emergency it could result in fatalities. I brought it to the dealership who offered to break my door panel to assess the issue, a $300+ expense to me, not to mention the labor breaking my door panel. Once they were able to get into my door, they determined it was the actuator solenoid, which is a know rogue service order problem, and told me that would be an additional $575 to replace. I had started a case with Nissan USA corporation regarding this, their response, "we'll see what we can do to help. " they did nothing. Disappointing.

All of the door locks do not work. I have had my Murano in the shop 3 times and they cannot figure out the problem. I have now spent close to $1000 and the problem is still not fixed! they first replaced a switch in the driver's side door. That did not fix the problem. They then replaced the bcm, the locks worked for about a week and now they are not functioning again. This is a safety hazard because I am a single woman and should be able to lock and unlock my doors as needed. How many people have to file a complaint for the same issue before Nissan does something about it??? it is absolutely ridiculous that I should have to spend almost $1000 and still not have functioning door locks!!! I know for a fact the problem is not the solenoids in the doors that control the locks because my repair shop tested each one in each door and they are properly functioning, which is what led us to check the bcm. When it was determined the bcm was bad, I had that replaced but obviously that is not the only problem. Please do something about this issue!!!.

On September 17, my driver's door would not open with the keyless entry or with the actual key. I called Nissan of queens to state again that something fraudulent was done to my car since my initial visit on September 4. They advised me to come in to "check" the problem. However, past experience leads me to believe it will be to "fix" the door, charge me some ridiculous amount, and then create another malfunction. This new malfunction will have me coming back the next week for a repeat of this fraudulent service. My car is breaking down before my eyes and I cannot understand why Nissan would let this happen to a loyal customer. As you know tampering with my car door can be harmful to my person in the following ways: 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.
