What owners say
The second automatic door lock has gone out on my vehicle. Now the passenger drivers side rear door will not unlock automatically. Since the only way to lock and unlock the door is from the inside (no door lock for key on outside) this potentially creates a dangerous situation with my family and the need to get small children in or out of the vehicle that are required to ride in the back with child seats by state law.
Door lock actuator in 05 maxima not working properly.
Defective electronic door lock - 2005 nissan maxima the electronic door lock, whether actuated from the button on the driver's door or by the key fob, does not lock or unlock the door(s) reliably. This is a potential safety problem. My wife did not even know for several months that the vehicle was not locking when she used the remote key fob. This could have resulted not only in a theft but also a vehicle intrusion by an assailant. I will submit my vehicle idn later.
All four door lock actuators failed, no doors can be unlocked or locked via the door switch or the remotes. Very unsafe, can not get children out of back seats without reaching into the back seat through the interior area.
