I had a door latch cable fail on the passenger side, but not the lock. When my wife opened the door to get out, it wouldn’t latch closed and the door would bounce open. When I went to close it, the door would close and latch, making my wife think Lucile hated her. Eventually, at TSB repair for the door latch freezing, s/a found I had a bad latch cable, one of 2 per door. Inside latch handle cable bad. Outside door handle worked. Had to ‘fess up to the wife that in fact, Lucille did hate her.
Have not had issue with the locks though. It sounds like an actuator issue.
