ALL OF MY DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK. I HAVE SHORT ARMS AND CAN'T UNLOCK MY DOORS. FIRST IT ONLY DID EVERY NOW AND THE. THEN ONE DOOR STOP WORKING NOW ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK. *TR

HOW MANY LETTERS AND COMPLAINTS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA MUST THERE BE BEFORE A RECALL ON DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS BECOMES A REALITY? AT FIRST THE LOCKS ONLY FAILED ON VERY WARM / HOT DAYS AND MOSTLY JUST THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE PROBLEM SPREAD TO THE DRIVERS DOOR THE ONE OF THE BACK DOORS AND TO THE OTHER BACK DOOR. INFINITI !!! LISTEN UP !!! YOU MADE A BAD DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR DESIGN AND IT IS WAY PAST TIME TO ADMIT IT AND START REPLACING TENS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF NICE FOLKS DOOR LOCKS. JUST GOOGLE IT FOR A FEW AND WILL FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. I AM GLAD I DON'T HAVE KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. I CANNOT OPEN THE CAR DOOR FOR MY DATE. I HAVE TO HOLD THE REMOTE BUTTON UNTIL THE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN SO I CAN REACH INSIDE AND UNLOCK...

THE FUEL COVER LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON A 2003 NISSAN MURANO I OWNED. *TR

SOME TIME AGO, THE POWER LOCKS STOPPED LOCKING OR UNLOCKING. WHEN IT GETS HOT AND THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SUN FOR SOME TIME, THE DOORS DO NOT WANT TO OPEN. SOME TIMES IT COULD BE ALL THE DOORS OR JUST SOME. WE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE BACK SEATS TO UNLOCK THE DOORS BECAUSE THE LIFT GATE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT UNLOCKED. SOME TIMES WE NEED TO WAIT FOR A WHILE PRESSING THE REMOTE HOPING TO GET LUCKY AND ONE DOOR WILL UNLOCK. NOT EVEN THE KEY WORKS TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IT HAS GOT TO THE POINT THAT NOW WE NEED TO LEAVE ONE DOOR UNLOCKED SO THAT WE CAN ENTER THE CAR AND HOPE THAT THE ALARM WILL DETER ANY BODY OTHER THAN US TRYING TO GET IN. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SECURITY PROBLEM. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THEY SAY THAT THE DOOR...

STARTED IN 2008 FOR FIRST TIME, BUT WAS INTERMITTENT. BY SUMMER OF 2011 NONE OF THE DOORS/REAR HATCH UNLOCK OR LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. NEITHER USING THE FOB CLICKER, OR PRESSING ANY OF THE INTERIOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS ACTIVATES THE LOCKS. SINCE THERE IS ONLY ONE KEY HOLE, FOR ENTIRE VEHICLE, ON DRIVER'S SIDE, I AM UNABLE TO ACCESS REAR HATCH AREA, AND THIS IS WHERE I KEEP MY DOG AS WELL AS CAGED PET BIRDS WHEN TRANSPORTING. TO UNLOCK HATCH, I HAVE TO USE KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THEN REACH MY ARM BACK TO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND UNLOCK MANUALLY. THEN I CAN ENTER THROUGH REAR PASSENGER DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE) AND CRAWL OVER SEATS TO CLIMB INTO REAR HATCH AREA WHERE I CAN FINALLY TAKE OFF PROTECTIVE COVER FOR MANUAL HATCH RELEASE. I THEN HAVE TO EXIT VEHICLE THROUGH REAR HATCH TO KEEP IT FROM SHUTTING CLOSED DUE IT'S...

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE FAILING IN A "LAZY" MANNER IN MY 2005 INIFINITI FX35. IT STARTED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCK AND NOW INCLUDES THE REAR HATCH. WHEN UNLOCKING OR LOCKING THE DOORS EITHER WITH THE FOB OR WITH THE SWITCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THESE DOORS INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE FREQUENCY AT WHICH IT DOES NOT WORK IS INCREASING WITH TIME. THE DANGER IS THAT I HAVE TO MANUALLY CHECK IF THE DOOR ARE LOCKED. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE LOCKING I CAN NEVER BE SURE IF THEY ARE LOCKED BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL STOP WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DESCRIBED ON NISSAN AND INFINITI FORUMS, WHICH INDICATES A DESIGN ISSUE EITHER IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE ACTUATOR ITSELF. THE COST OF REPLACING ALL ACTUATORS IS AROUND $2000, WHICH MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD TO DO. *TR

I OWN AN INFINITI FX 35, 2005. MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND HATCH DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED ( THE ACTUATORS). I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESP SINCE THERE IS NO KEY HOLE ENTRY FOR EITHER THE PASSENGER SIDE OR THE HATCH DOOR. THEY DID NOT FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT INFINITI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE EXAMINED, AND FIXED (BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE)....THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL MY LOCKS ARE FAILING (ACTUATORS) AND IT WILL COST $1700.00 TO FIX. I CAN GET THIS FIXED BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC FOR A LOT LESS, BUT I WILL HAVE TO BUY AFTER MARKET PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT HAVE ALL MY LOCKS FAIL ON MY CAR. MY CAR ONLY HAS ONE KEY ACCESS, THE DRIVER SIDE. WHICH I UNDERSTAND...

I OWN A 2005 INFINITI FX35. WITHIN THIS LAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH ALL 4 LOCKING MECHANISMS INCLUDING THE REAR HATCH OF MY VEHICLE. THIS FIRST BEGAN WITH THE RT REAR PASSENGER SIDE AND HAS NOW AFFECTED THE REMAINDER OF THE DOOR LOCKS. THE FAILURE IS THAT WHEN THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON FAILS TO EITHER LOCK AND OR UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. WHEN THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON IS DEPRESSED THERE IS A LOCKING SOUND HEARD, BUT THE ACTION DOESN'T TAKE PLACE. WHEN DISARMING THE ALARM WITH THE KEY FOB, AND ENTERING MY VEHICLE I FIND IT DOES NOT OPEN MY DRIVER DOOR. I MUST USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. WHEN MANUALLY ATTEMPTING TO LOCK THE VEHICLE FROM THE INTERIOR THE DOOR ACTUATORS FAIL TO LOCK, THUS I MUST MANUALLY LOCK EACH DOOR. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO RECALL BY INFINITI FOR...

INFINITY FX35 WITH UNRELIABLE POWER DOOR LOCKS MAINLY IN WARM WEATHER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
