| Stopped at a local shop, got out of car to mail a letter, car still running, key in the ignition and the doors locked on the car while it was running and no one in the drivers seat. luckily i did not have my child in the car seat, it was hot and it took me having to get someone to go to my home and retrieve a spare key to open the door. took it to dealership and because it was 10 miles over the warranty, they would not repair it. i filed a complaint earlier, but never heard a response. this also happened to my 2005 altima. the doors are not suppose to lock if car is running. this is a hazard and a defect. *tr | |||

| Defective electronic door lock - 2005 nissan maxima the electronic door lock, whether actuated from the button on the driver's door or by the key fob, does not lock or unlock the door(s) reliably. this is a potential safety problem. my wife did not even know for several months that the vehicle was not locking when she used the remote key fob. this could have resulted not only in a theft but also a vehicle intrusion by an assailant. i will submit my vehicle idn later. *tr | |||
