NHTSA Complaint #11465789 — 2011 INFINITI EX35

The door lock actuators fail to work for the doors both inside and outside if the temperature gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. (Also within this weather, my outer door handle which is physically attached to said actuator) has broken off. I've repaired one actuator with an aftermarket one but the drivers door actuator is only made by Infiniti. The cost of the part alone is $800 the labor is another $300. The risk is that in the case of a crash, engine fire, and/or severe mechanical failure, I will be unable to exit my vehicle and will subsequently die should such an situation occur. I've spoken to several mechanics that tell me it's quite common with Nissans and infiniti's. I've seen on dozens of forums that they believe there should be a recall on this since it's been happening for 20+years and isn't covered under warranty due to being a wear and tear part.
