The elect locks will pop open when the engine is running. They work fine when the engine is off. It starts out occasionally but then seems to worsen to occur each time you turn the vehicle on. When it happens all locks will open without any input from the driver. The lock/unlock button on the front doors do not have any power to them.

It seems to me there is a crossed wire somewhere because they also open when another elect device is used such as blinker, releasing or applying the brake, using the power mirrors, etc. The dealer previously replaced the door lock actuator.

Other than this problem, we love the car. Its a pain because its new and is really starting to get annoying.

Anyone who has similar exp and solution, we would love to hear from you. Even if you had a similar problem with another make/model.
