What owners wrote
The electronic door locks on my vehicle have stop working. I replaced the driver's door lock which failed first, but since then the other door locks have stopped working. I have 2 very young children and I must manually unlock the doors from the inside of the vehicle cabin. I shudder to think what would happen if I or someone else had to get them out in an emergency and we could not get the doors to unlock.
Passenger door does not lock or unlock from the outside. Rear hatch door does not unlock and will not open. I checked online and there are hundreds of complaints about nissan murano lock actuators posing problems and not working. Nissan dealerships charge approximately $500 to fix each actuator, which seems extremely unfair considering it appears to be such a common defect. This is not only an unnecessary and preventable problem, but can be an extremely safety hazard.
