Description of the problem | Have a 2003 infiniti fx35, and the electronic locks now do not fully lock or unlock and the unlock message appear on the screen while driving (the work when they want). First one door went out now the other. My sense is that a small child or elderly person in the back could be in serious danger if there were an immediate need for them to be evacuated. With only one manual lock for the entire vehicle (on the driver's door) a person would have to go across the car to manually unlock the passenger side rear door in an emergency (in addition to reaching behind the driver's seat for the driver's side rear door). Since i see this as a significant safety issue, i believe nhtsa should investigate and order an appropriate recall. If you peruse various message boards on the web, you will see that this is a rather significant issue associated with many nissan products (the sister murano is also so afflicted). |
