The forward passenger side door actuator went out causing my door to be unable to be locked or unlocked by key, or unlock switch on door. It's now costing me $215 to get fixed. And I've seen many other vehicles having this problem. It's unsafe it will not lock during driving and can't lock it in public areas.
