Description of the problem	All four of my door locks have stopped working with the automatic system. Each required a new lock actuator to be installed on each door. The failures occurred at 26,598 (7/16/04) - front driver, 50,327 (6/10/05) - rear right, 67,878 (12/30/05) - front right, 81,435 (05/2006) - rear driver.
