    My passenger side rear door won't lock... new problem that just started. The key fob, door lock switch on front doors, and manually trying to lock that rear door won't work.

    Anyone else experience this?

    Hmm, you'll be the first on this site to report this issue. Any prior symptoms (like door lock was beginning to be difficult to rotate) before this happened?

    No prior indications noticed.

    I took it to the dealer who took apart the door and said that the door lock sliding bar (something like that) was broken. Would cost about $700 but I'm still covered under warranty, yea! Just need to wait for the part to arrive before it's repaired.
