Really anoying! Drivers door wouldn't open all the time with the key chain or keyless entry. The solution that worked for me was to keep depressing the "unlock" button on the key chain while continuously lifting (up and down) on the door handle (work them both at the same time). Also works with keyless entry. Just keep pressing the "unlock all" button while working the door handle the same way.
