LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOOR LOCKS, REAR HATCH LOCK AND GAS CAP LOCK WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE SPOKE TO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME FAILURE WITH THE SOLENOIDS IN THE LOCK MECHANISM NOT FUNCTIONING RELIABLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR, NOT HAVING THE SECURITY OF A LOCKED DOOR, ALLOWING ANYONE ACCESS AT WILL. I CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN CONTINUES TO DENY THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE LOCKS WITH SO MANY HAVING IDENTICAL PROBLEMS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE WILL LOSE THEIR LIFE OR BE INJURED FROM THIS LACK OF SECURITY FROM THE DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTIONING. I FILE THIS COMPLIANT TO LET THE NHTSA KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND SHARE THIS WITH NISSAN TO HOPEFULLY CONVINCE THEM TO TAKE THIS MORE SERIOUSLY AND RECALL THE CARS TO MAKE THE SAFE AND SECURE. *TR
