THE POWER DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. AS SOON AS YOU LOCK IT MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB, IT WILL SLOWLY UNLOCK ITSELF. THIS OCCURS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT WILL LOCK ITSELF IF THE AUTO ACCELERATES OVER 10MPH, BUT THEN WILL AGAIN SLOWLY UNLOCK SECONDS LATER AND WILL STAY IN THE UNLOCK POSITION. THIS IN TURN DEFEATS THE SECURITY SYSTEM, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE, ALLOWING THE PASSENGER DOOR TO BE OPENED WITHOUT SETTING OFF THE ALARM. I ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE LOCKING MECHANISM AS STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

HOW THE IG FUSE WAS BLOWN OUT DURING THE PARKING, IT MUST BE HAPPEN WHEN I PULLED OUT MY KEY 6 DAYS AGO WHEN I PARKED MY CAR. CHECK WITH ALL FRIENDS AND GOOGLE SEARCH, NO CLUE WHAT HAPPEN! I WILL ASK THE CAR TO BE TOWED A SHOP TO CHECK BY A TECHNICIAN. I NEVER DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE CAR WRING, NEVER INSTALL ANYTHING INTO THE CAR. *JB
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON THREE OF MY DOORS BEGAN UNLOCKING WITHIN A WEEK OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. WHEN THE ALARM IS SET, THE DOORS INITIALLY LOCK, THEN INSTANTANEOUSLY UNLOCK FAILING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SECURE. WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS, THE DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE AT EVERY STOP. *JB
CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. WHEN I USE THE KEY FOB OR THE UNLOCK SWITCH ON THE DOOR, DOORS UNLOCK AND INSTANTLY RE-LOCK THEMSELVES. IN ORDER TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE I NEED TO USE TWO HANDS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND PULL THE DOOR HANDLE. I NEED TWO PEOPLE TO OPEN THE TAIL GATE. *JS
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF. SINCE THEN IT WENT FROM PERIODICALLY LOCKING TO NOW IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED AT ALL. DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR HAS DONE THIS ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES. *TT
