Remote does not work properly. Symptons:
a. Door unlock button does not work. The lock feature does work. Same sympton with spare remote.
b. Very difficult to unlock doors (sometime hangs up) with a key.
c. When the car is first moved after a fresh start, the doors do not lock automatically as they should.
d. Doors unlocked Icon is always displayed on the dash display. Made sure all doors were shut.

Help! Thanks.

A. Driver door actuator is at fault
b. Still suspect a bad door actuator as it linked to the door key and lock
c. This is happening because have a door switch open and I find it very common on the driver door use penetrating oil spray in the door latch close and open the door few times and spray again
d. Without a scanner tool to check which door switch is at fault, try the penetrating oil on all door latches
