    Every time we try drive above 9 mph, the door tries to lock, even if its already lock. In a parking lot it keeps trying to lock if we go below and above 9mph. We have disabled the auto lock and auto unlock features now the door behind the driver won't stay locked. Ever. If you use the remote, master key, or physically try to lock that door, it unlocks itself within a second. Very unsafe. This car is parked outside…

    At times passenger front door locks can not be unlocked. At other times lock will randomly lock and unlock during which door can not be unlocked. This creates unsafe conditions where door can not be locked at times or unlocked at times. I believe this to be a defect with the door lock actuator. *tr
