Rear doors will not unlock with key fob or inside center button. This is an intermittent problem. Just does it when it feels like it. There are no other problems associated with it. Windows all work, fuel door works, rear hatch works. I know its all module controlled and with it being intermittent I'm leaning that way. I just hate throwing parts at problems.

There has to be an issue with the child lock safety feature. Make sure you are not engaging it by accident.
If that is not it, get the trouble codes pulled. Amny Auto Zone or Advance Auto will do this for free.
