I just bought a used 2019 Nissan Altima from a Dealership. Very shortly after buying, two of the actuators went out not allowing me to lock or unlock the passenger or back/driver's side doors. I am on a military base and have to park my car in parking lots everywhere I go. This is unsafe for me to have my vehicle stolen, anything left in my car stolen. I brought it to the dealership I bought it from, and they won't touch it. By reading other reviews this is a common problem for this vehicle. It should be addressed Unknown if this has been inspected, as I just purchased it used. No warning lights have come on to warn me of this issue.

I bought my 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum brand new. Since then I have had to replace all of the door lock actuators a minimum of 2 times, I say 2 times because only one has been replaced twice. All of the others have been replaced at least 3 times and the driver and driver side passenger side are ready for the 4th replacement. This presents a safety as well as security issue.

Without warning, both sideview mirrors, plus the blindspot warning system began to not work. Mirror adjustments failed to work on both sides and also the blindspot warning light stopped working when a vehicle would pass. I proceeded to take my vehicle to Regal Nissan, Inc., located at 1090 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, Georgia 30076, 770-998-8686 on December 19, 2023 at approximately 2:00pm, and was told by the Service Advisor, Deandre Gaines that they would not be able to look at it as the day was almost over and he scheduled an appointment for December 20, 2023 at 9:00am. Today, December 20, 2023, I attended my appointment arriving approximately 9:09am and spoke with Deandre Gaines. He told me that they would do a diagnostic check to find out what was causing this. I asked if the diagnostic check would be just for my arm rest where the control was or did he mean for the whole car, and he said no not the whole car only the arm rest, and he never stated the price. I told him that I would wait on the car, and proceeded to their customer waiting room. Once they were done, they tell me that the cost would be $175.88!!! I asked for what"?" He tells me that because I have 39,747 miles and it is outside the the 36,000 mile warranty that this is what it cost for a diagnostic. I said, you never said the price!!! I had no idea that it would cost this much just for you to tell me this. He strong-armed me on the price. I then asked to speak to his manager (which I did not get his name) and the manager then said the same thing. I was so frustrated at how I strong-armed on this price. Deandre never stated the price. This is border line exhortation. He took my freedom away as a Georgia consumer by giving the price after the fact and not telling me the price before hand. This would not have been an issue if he had told me the price beforehand, as I would have had the choice to say yes or no. If additional documentation is needed, please let me know.

Since I purchased this car during warranty 2 of the door locks quit working and was replaced under warranty but since the warranty has ran out the other 2 door locks quit working. So if I lock my door it will not unlock so I have to crawl in a door that will lock. The other option is not lock my doors so everything can be stolen out of my car or I could be robbed since they could open my door at any parking lot or redlight.

My key does not unlock or lock my passenger or rear doors. So far it only unlocks the driver door. I have to get in and unlock the doors manually. The key fab works but the door sensors do not respond. I looked it up and this has been a common problem reported for the 2019 Nissan Altima along with other electrical problems. I-??ve had to replace the battery twice. This is a 2019 vehicle which I purchased in 2020. Had to replace the battery in 2021 and in 2023. The most pressing issue right now is the door locks. This is an expensive repair. There should be a recall issued so that Nissan can repair the door sensors. The contact continue to have problems with electrical components on this vehicle. All four door locking systems have been replaced, but now the contact cannot open the trunk with the key or manually from inside of the car. Also, the battery has had to be replaced three times.

All Door Lock Actuators. This is available for inspection. The safety of myself and passengers is at risk due to not being able to unlock and lock my vehicle at any given time. This is a security risk for any occupants in the event of needing to quickly lock doors or unlock in the event of an emergency. This also puts my vehicle at risk of theft and being stolen. The door actuators will not activate from the remote key or the unlock/lock buttons inside the vehicle. Yes, I had Jim Johnson Nissan (Bowling Green, KY) look at the problem and they confirmed and quoted me for this. No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There was no warning to the problem. The first door actuator failed at around 50,000 miles (2021) and progressed to all door actuators failing. This problem is reoccurring in this model of the Nissan Altima

The shutter in the front of the car is defective. This part not working causes the car to overheat. There are so many issues with this exact same problem on this exact car that there is literally a back order and I cannot get the part so now I can-??t use my car. My mechanic place said he-??s seen 4 of these cars in the past week with the same problem and can-??t get the parts because of back order. If there are this many issues that it-??s causing this much of a shortage and it can cause overheating this should be a recall issue.
