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.THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 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. 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. 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). *TR
