I'm having issues with unlocking the doors. If all the doors are closed, I cannot unlock the doors from the driver's side, but I can from the passenger door. If the passenger door is open, I can unlock the doors from the driver's side. The doors will also unlock when the vehicle is placed in park.

It sounds like the BCM is going out but to be sure let's check the power (fuses) and grounds for the system. Here are the door lock wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which fuses to check. This guide can help you test the power and grounds:
