Default 2008 Equinox door problems

I am having issues with all four actuators in chevy Equinox. I had 1 replaced by a private mechanic, and not 6 months later the three other doors started acting up. Contacted Chevrolet had they said there was nothing they could do for me. This is rather disappointing of course. Is anyone else having similar issues?? I repaired the first one thinking it just wore out but, when all four doors go something is wrong.

Please describe what you mean by "the three other doors started acting up". Which actuator did you already replace?

pszack,

I am sorry you are having these concerns with your door locks. I would like to look into your case further. Can you please private message me your name, VIN, address, and case number (if available).

So does this mean they all still work when you use the lock/unlock buttons in the vehicle? If so, all the door lock actuators are fine and the keyless entry remote probably just has a dead battery.

Well no broken wire door locks work the first and second time you push button then they loosw power and needs recharged if you wait a while they will work again. this does it for all 4 doors and it does not mater if you use the remote or the button.
is there a relay that could warm up and break down when hot
