I have bought this nissan altima 2 months ago for my daughter and recently for the past 2 weeks the locks on her doors keep locking and unlocking continuosly while the car is driving but also as well when it is running but parked. I have shut down the fan and stereo thinking it had something to do with it but stlill does it. However when she is driving the speed of it locking and unlocking increases.

The driver's door lock actuator seems common on these.
But before doing that, try unplugging the door switches for the windows and the locks. if the problem stops you know where to go

If there is a aftermarket alarm system, disconnect is and see if it still happens.
If you have a factory alarm, the remotes are known to go bad and send false signals.
