Default 2008 GX Door Issues

Hello All,

I have been having issues with all 5 door locks working or not working sporadically for the past few months. Currently, the back door is always locked and the car frequently decides to lock itself after I have unlocked. I had one of the actuators replaced and then had the same problem start back up a week later.

I remember seeing something on here a while back about a central electronic component that seemed to be faulty and Lexus would replace, but I cant find the thread now -- can someone please direct me?

Or if you have had this same issue, please let me know what finally solved it -- thanks so very much!

One point to make - the doors will automatically lock back if you unlock them and don't open one of them within a certain period of time (30 seconds, I think).

yeah, its not like that -- it can be 5 or 10 mins later, or just totally randomly while I'm driving when they are already locked....
