    This thing happened over a year & now it even worse. All lock sys. Will auto lock by themselves after i pressed unlock for 2 seconds; when i'm driving on the road, all four door-locks make the sound too loud with lock & unlock by themselves until i get home. I remember one time; when i took a flyer that stuck on my windshield before i drove home; suddenly, my door had locked by the wind. That made me crazy to find…

    In december, my rear passenger side door would not unlock. I tried to manually unlock the door and the lock would not budge. My baby was in his rear-facing carseat on the rear passenger side of the car so i had to open the rear driver side door to get my baby out through that door. The problem has continued to escalate to the point that as of today (06/11/13), the rear passenger side door will no longer lock and the…

    Door locks normally with key fob or at designated speed of 8mph. However left rear and right front slowly unlock after about 3 seconds. Repeated key fob use is to no avail. Using the door lock switch or the actual door lock mechanism will still not allow door to remain locked. Highly unsafe as there is no way to keep door locked and prevent door from opening. Vehicle is now easily hijackable or can be broken into…

    Passenger side door automatic lock malfunction. At times would not open/ at times would not lock. When i use the master control (on the drivers side door) or the key fob, the passenger side lock continually clicks. Also the locks continue to click open and locked as i drive (especially when i speed up from a stop.) i have heard that many other people have the same type of problems. *tr

    Both of the front door locks actuators are not working properly. Some times when you try to unlock the car the doors won't unlock, in other occasions when you try to lock the car the doors stay unlocked. This is causing the alarm to arm itself and when you open the door the alarm goes off, the only way to turn it off is with the control remote. Some times the alarm gets armed while we are in the car and it won?t…

    The passenger rear right (r.rr) door lock actuator failed on 8/25/12 in the locked position then eventually would unlock with the remote fob but would immediately relock on its own. The passenger front (r.fr) door lock actuator failed on 12/10/12 with the same symptoms as the r.rr actuator. The passenger left rear (l.rr) actuator failed on 8/15/13 in the locked mode and would not unlock with the mechanical lever or…

    Failure of the door lock actuator. The rear driver's-side door continually unlocks, even despite the automatic lock feature. With small children in the back, i am unable to ensure their safety with an unlocked door while driving, or even while parked. Also, our belongings are at risk of theft because that door is constantly unlocked, even when locked by hand. Despite our efforts, the door unlocks itself immediately…

    Problem started with driver-side rear locks. Would not always lock, constantly tried to relock itself while driving, and made rattling sound. Problem has spread to all doors. Driver side door will not lock at all. Passenger-side rear lock will not unlock. Hatch will not open. Other doors relock themselves immediately so you have less than one second to open door. Using the key itself makes no difference. *tr

    The locks are acting weird. The car locks automatically when the door is closed. As soon as i get in the doors lock and the same when i get out. When i need to get in the car i need to use the key fob and it unlocks for just a second the locks again quickly. Very annoying! I fear the locks will malfunction more and more as time passes. Today the alarm went on and i had to start the car and put it in reverse and back…

    It started on the back driver's side door. It would not stay locked. It always popped back unlocked. Every time i would push on the gas after being stopped a light or slowed down for a speed bump, etc. The doors all tried to relock to get that one door locked, but it would just pop back open again. Then, in the last month my driver's side door started to do the same thing. Now my locks have gone haywire. They are…

    Powers locks began to get stuck on passenger back door. They would re-lock immediately upon unlocking. This went on for about 2-3 months. After that, the locks on all doors starting locking and un-locking when driving slow, i.e., merging into traffic, driving through development, another 2-3 months. It now has stopped that and makes a horrible loud grinding sound when you lock and unlock the doors. I am worried that…

    The vehicle began resetting door locks whenever vehicle was stopped and accelerated through 6 or 7 mph. So far it is just the front, right passenger door, but based on hundreds of other complaints it seems like it will only be getting worse.
