    It's really an issue w/ the electric motor for the power locks not working on the drivers side when really cold. Basically I can't rely on locking the door w/ the keyfob/alarm since its not consistently working.
    Oh wow... at least you can still unlock & and get in using the key. If you get in a situation where you have to get in the wrong way, you can turn off the alarm by turning the ignition key on-off-on.

    Hmmm - long shot... any chance that water isn't draining out of the door (clogged weep holes)? The electric lock mechanism is the lowest item within the door and very close to the bottom.

    Thanks for al of the suggestions - I'm having her checked out this week for a full fun-down (fluids, alignment, etc). I'll have them check out the door actuator when they pull off the panels.
