Power door locks in both doors do not lock/unlock the doors when remote is used or the inside swithch is used. The door locks "click" and try to move, but do not move enough to open the door locks (or lock them). The remote does open the hatchback lock. Thanks.

Check the area on the door that they are riveted to, sometimes these losen up. Or can be a problem with the actuators going bad as well.

The guys nailed it. The (driver's) side lock actuator was bad. That one must operate before the passenger's side opens. $57 for the part and $104 for labor.
