| Description of the problem | Power door lock failure - 5th occurrence. Just took vehicle to car wash and within 1 hour the locks stopped responding to remote and door switches. Car has exhibited power door lock failure twice each year since purchased by current owner. Dealers have reprogrammed/replaced bcm a couple of times. On this occasion, the dealer did not provide information on how the locks were reset other than to say the locks were reset. Would like to know procedure to save on further trips to dealer. This is a safety issue as the car is only equipped with key locks on driver's door and rear liftgate. Any type of fire, flood, or emergency requiring quick evac would result in tragic loss. |
