Default Unlocking driver door

Hey everyone, so it doesn't happen often but I think its happened to me 2 or 3 times now. I'll walk up to my car and try to unlock the door by just putting my hand in the handle then pulling. Some reason it won't unlock the drivers door but it'll unlock all the other doors and I'll end up having to go to the passenger door to unlock the drivers door. Then another time the key fob did the same thing and it unlocked all the other doors except the drivers door. Weird stuff, anyone know why it does this? Its a 2014 IS350 F-Sport.

What is that? Also what do you think the dealer will say if it can't be replicated when I bring it there. This only happens once in a while.

This has happened to me on occasion as well. My car is a 2016 with 2200 miles. It happened once at about 1k miles so I don't think its the servo or "door lock actuator motor". I remember the first time it occurred was when I locked it with enform, and unlocked it with the key fob. I heard all 3 doors and the gas door unlock, but the driver did not. Then it happened one other time recently...but I can't remember the series of events leading up to it. This has been discussed a bit on this forum so it is a common problem, but it doesn't seem to be a permanent problem. Just a once in a few thousand.

Haha I like the idea of recording it. But its definitely a weird glitch I think. I'll mention it to the dealer next time I get my oil change and see what they can do.
