Rear door locks (rr, rl) have inexplicably seized and do not operate in either a locking or unlocking capacity. Mechanical seizure within the lock assemblies makes operation of locks extremely difficult considering the minimal texture afforded on the lock lever. Out of fear of blowing a fuse or relay, I have disconnected the assemblies manually and now have minimal power locking capability.

The locks will no longer lock. When you push the electic lock button the lock will not go down on the doors. Extreme security risk. Also, the seat belts in the front often jam nearly causing an accident in itself.
