NHTSA Complaint #10454627 — 2004 INFINITI FX35

I BOUGHT MY CAR AT 52,000 MILES AND HAD A MINIMAL WARRANTY STILL IN PLACE. I NOTICED THAT A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE MY CAR LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. UNFORTUNATELY, BY THE TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THE WARRANTY WAS UP...STUPID ME! THEY WOULDN'T LOCK SOMETIMES, OR UNLOCK WHEN USING THE REMOTE, OR MANUALLY PRESSING THE BUTTONS NOT HE DOORS. THEY WOULD ALMOST GET STUCK, BECAUSE I COULD HERE A SOUND, BUT THEY WEREN'T MOVING BACK AND FOURTH. SEVERAL TIMES I WOULD LOAD GROCERIES INTO MY TRUNK, AND UPON GETTING HOME THE HATCH WOULD NOT REOPEN. IT APPEARS AS IF THERE IS A SHORT OR GLITCH SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, HOWEVER SEVERAL MECHANICS SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL OF THE ACTUATORS ARE GOING BAD ON ME. EACH DOOR ACTUATOR IS OVER $250 A PIECE, AND THE HATCH IS OVER $400. IT IS REALLY A SHAME, BECAUSE I LOVE ROAD TRIPS, AND I AM ALWAYS HESITANT TO USE MY TRUNK BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER WAY OF OPENING THE HATCH. I'M REALLY IRATE THAT UPON INVESTIGATING ONLINE I AM ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM....WHY ISN'T THIS EXPENSIVE PROBLEM BEING ADDRESSED? IT ISN'T LIKE WE AREN'T PAYING TOP DOLLAR FOR A LUXURY CAR! ITS A SHAME BECAUSE OTHERWISE I AM HAPPY WITH MY CAR FOR THE MOST PART. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MOTOR IS LAZY TOO, BUT I HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN IN OTHER CARS TOO... *TR
