Consumer Description

THE DOOR LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK. AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON, DOOR LOCKS CONTINUED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. THEN, THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH ON DRIVER'S DOOR STOPPED WORKING. LAST TIME THIS ISSUE STARTED AND CONTINUED WITH KEY FOB NO LONGER WORKING, AND ONLY WAY TO LOCK DOORS WAS MANUALLY AND UNLOCK DRIVER'S DOOR WITH KEY AND MANUALLY UNLOCK REMAINING DOORS. DEALER REPLACED DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND KEY FOBS TO FIX PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ALREADY HAVING BEEN FIXED ONCE? IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS? I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SAME REPAIR REPEATEDLY. *TR
