I bought my 2019 Nissan Altima SR from Westshore Mazda in Tampa. The next day I locked and unlocked the car and noticed that only the driver‘s door was working so three out of the four doors don’t lock and unlock by either the driver side door or the key fobs. I looked this up online and noticed it’s a defect on a lot of these models and the sentras.

Key fob or push-button start problems by model year
What owners say
I own a 2019 Nissan Altima S, and recently, all three door locks except for the front passenger door stopped responding to the key fob and the button on the door. From my research, it seems that the most common cause of this issue is a faulty door lock actuator. Many users on Reddit and other forums have reported that the door lock actuators in 2019 Nissan Altimas or new models 2020, 2021 and 2022 can fail, resulting in doors that won’t lock or unlock either with the key fob or even manually. This problem can affect one or multiple doors at a time and is often attributed to a defective actuator. I spoke with a Nissan customer who refused to repair my vehicle and advised me to contact the federal safety agency. They will investigate, and if approved, Nissan will repair the issue at no charge. I would like to report this issue for a potential recall and seek assistance with repairs, which are estimated to cost around $1,000
Vehicle door locks stopped working with key fob and with interior controls. Radio volume control on unit doesn’t work only the steering wheel control. Radio will randomly change station by itself. Radio will randomly turn on when car is off. Car will not start and has to be jumped for no apparent reason. Battery has had to been replaced twice in the last 4 years. Dealership has not been able to replicate any of the issues other than the door locks that where repaired under an extended warranty that we purchased. There has to be some kind of electrical issue with these cars as I have seen many other reports of same issues from other people
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to open the door with the key fob however, the door failed to open. The contact had to physically hit the front door to manually open the door. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the front door actuator was not fully locking, and the door actuator needed to be replaced. The local dealer was contacted, and the vehicle was repaired on two separate occasions for the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,147.
The doors won’t unlock when using the key fob or pressing the lock/unlock buttons on the driver and passenger front doors. I believe the actuators are not functioning properly. Also, the engine light came on and the code is P059F which indicates a faulty active grille shutter assembly.
Front and Rear LH door locks do not work with buttons or key fob. Poses a safety risk entering or exiting the vehicle.
The front passenger door and both rear doors will not lock/unlock with the key fob or the button in the car. The doors when locked by hand will randomly unlock while the car is driving
My rear doors won't unlock or lock using the key fob or pressing the unlock/lock button on my door. I have to manually lock it or unlock it. This happened out of nowhere. I checked the fuse box but all fuses are good.
My doors are not locking or unlocking... Key fob, interior switch, and actual key works sometimes but never at the same time!
Rear door locking / unlocking. Rear door dosen't lock nor unlock from key fob nor button on driver side door panel it has to be manually locked and unlocked.
