Door lock actuator has failed!** alarm on my Mazda goes off at random periods of time. Sometimes its once a week and sometimes is 5 times a day or night. I have reviewed several internet forums and it appears that there are a lot of people with the same problem but they have not created a complaint on this website. The remedies that they have found to have the dealer replace a door actuator that is faulty. This door actuator locks the doors and if when it fails to properly lock the door it will intermittently sound the alarm. The alarm is not so much the concern as much as the door lock actuator. It if fails to lock it creates a safety hazard for people as they are driving down the road the door could accidentally be opened. Children could open the door and fall out of the car as it is failing. Please look into this issue as it is a safety concern.

2009 Mazda6. Consumer writes in regards to automatic unlock button malfunction. The consumer stated within the last year, the automatic unlock button inside the vehicle, suddenly stopped working, and in fact did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. When the unlock button was pressed, the entire vehicle automatically locked, and at times, would not release the lock, even manually. It would take many attempts at perfect timing to select the unlock button while opening the door in order to be able to get out of the vehicle. The automatic lock button functioned as it should, locking all doors. In other words, both the automatic lock and unlock buttons only locked the doors. The consumer stated she was locked inside the vehicle on several occasions, until she was able to get the door to release. The dealer identified the problem as the body control module for the locks. However, they could not offer a guarantee that the new body control module would not have the same problem, as Mazda acknowledged a problem with the part.

When I tried to get into my car the door got stuck and only open about 2 inches. When I finally opened it and got in the car the door would not close. When I checked it I realized that all 3 screws were missing and the door latch had shifted.
