DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN TO GIVE OUT AND RATTLE WHEN TRYING TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. IT ALSO FAILED TO UNLOCK OR LOCK AND AT TIMES LOCKED AND UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN. LOCK WAS REPLACED. JUST RECENTLY, THE DRIVER DOOR DID THE SAME AND IT WAS ALSO REPLACED. NOW THE DRIVER REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. SOMETIMES THE DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY OR WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT QUICKLY RELOCKS. SAME RATTLING NOISE AS OTHER TWO DOORS. *TR
CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS USING THE KEY MANUALLY. THE DOOR LOCKS RELOCK WITHIN 1 SECOND AFTER UNLOCKING THE DOOR ELECTRONICALLY. HAVE TO HAVE HAND ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHEN UNLOCKING THE CAR OTHERWISE IT WILL RELOCK BEFORE I CAN GET THE DOOR OPEN. *TR
PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH EITHER THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. WHEN USING THE KEY FOB IT WILL LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK.

THE DRIVER DOOR HAS STARTED LOCKING ON OWN. I STOPPED TO GET GAS ON A SATURDAY EVENING AND I GOT OUT TO PAY AT THE PUMP, ONLY TO FIND MY CAR HAD LOCKED ITSELF. MY PURSE AND CELL PHONE WAS INSIDE. LUCKILY THE GAS STATION HAD AN ATTENDANT WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO LET ME USE HIS PHONE. I WAS 60 MILES FROM HOME. I COULD NOT FIND A LOCKSMITH TO COME OPEN IT UP ON A SATURDAY EVENING. SO, NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR IN THE CAR, I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ON MY BACK DOOR BECAUSE I HAD TO ASK A NEIGHBOR TO BREAK IN MY HOUSE TO GET THE SPARE KEY, THEN DRIVE 120 MILES ROUND TRIP TO BRING IT TO ME. EVEN WITH THE SPARE KEY, IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO GET THE DOOR TO OPEN BECAUSE IT WOULD EITHER NOT UNLOCK OR IMMEDIATELY RE-LOCK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE-AS AFTER ALL THIS ORDEAL TO GET HOME, THE CAR WOULD THEN NOT UNLOCK TO LET ME OUT. *TR
