NHTSA Complaint #10459642 — 2005 NISSAN MURANO

I (FEMALE) LOADED MY TRUNK TO EMPTY MY CLASSROOM FOR THE SUMMER. I FILLED MY TRUNK WITH HEAVY BOXES THAT NEEDED TO BE MOVED. ONCE I GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING MY TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO LAY THE SEATS DOWN AND PULL EVERYTHING OUT THAT WAY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I HAD SMALL CHILDREN AT THE GROCERY AND THEY HAD TO STAND BESIDE THE CAR B/C THE TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN FOR ME TO LOAD IT. ALSO MY DRIVER DOOR WILL ONLY LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH A KEY NOT THE REMOTE. I GO TO THE PLACES ALONE OR WITH ONLY SMALL CHILDREN QUITE A BIT AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SAFE. THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE ALL OVER THE US WITH PROBLEMS ON THEIR MURANOS AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES DEALING WITH THE LOCKS. SOME EVEN ARE UNABLE TO GET THEIR GAS DOOR TO OPEN!! NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS IS A PROBLEM. FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE DRIVING A NISSAN, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. IT WOULD BE VERY DISTURBING TO BE APPROACHED BY A STRANGER IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY BECAUSE THE DOOR WON'T OPEN OR TO BE UNABLE TO PUT GAS IN YOUR VEHICLE B/C THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN ALSO COMES INTO PLAY WHEN A DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. *TR
