Sticking Lock

My drivers side lock keeps sticking, When I place the car in a gear all the doors will lock but when I try to unlock the doors, the drivers side says locked. I can not unlock it from the outside with a key nor can I pull it up. I have to keep hitting unlock (50+ times) then when it feels like letting me out of the car it'll unlock. Can I replace the door locking system? Can I enable the auto locking compoinets that make it lock when I take it out of Park? Would you know what is making it stick?

Sound like the door lock activator is bad. It can be replaced, you would have to take the inside door panel of to get to it. You can disable the door locks by removing the fiuse for the door lockings system.
