2016 Pathfinder Lock Actuator Issues

Has anyone ever had an issue with the locks making a "whirring" noise when you unlock them? I hear it when I unlock from the outside with the key fob and also when I unlock from the inside using the pad on the door. The dealership has replaced 2 lock actuators and the issue has not been resolved as of yet. I wish I could post a video so you could hear it. Any input at all would be welcome! TIA!

I haven't experienced that but other than the noise, are the locks functioning properly? I'm surprised that the dealer would replace the actuators for you otherwise.

Yes, the locks are operating properly so far. I took it in because I wanted to catch the issue while it was still covered by the warranty. As far as the dealer, well, the three trips I have made have been an absolute nightmare.....and the whirring noise is STILL there. Another story for another day! Lol!
