The door latches on all four driver and passenger doors often malfunction. Most the time you have to press on the door from the outside until you hear a soft click before the the door handle will work. Otherwise it is as if it were locked when it is unlocked. Also my car will lock itself if I unlock it with the key fob and get in the driver side door without starting immediately. It doesn't seem to recognise I've entered the vehicle.
