Default 2016 Chevy Malibu - exterior door lock button not working

Hi all! I have a 2016 Malibu with keyless system. Over the past few months it’s been acting weird- not always unlocking or locking on the first press. This is drivers side door btw. About 2 weeks ago that button stopped working altogether. The inside lock/unlock buttons work as do the buttons on the key fob. It is only the exterior door handle button that doesn’t work any longer. Ideas?

Default Did you ever find a solution?

I am having the same problem with my car. All of the unlock and lock buttons work except for the driver side exterior door buttons. If you were able to find a solution I’d appreciate it if you would share. Thank you.

Default Same problem with my 2016

Has anyone found out what the cause of this is? Just recently my driver door started doing this same thing. I have to open it from the passenger side. The inside latch will work but the keyless lock and outside handle won’t work. It will say it’s locked but it won’t really lock but if you open it from the outside, the door opens as if it’s unlocked and the car alarm goes off.
im just trying to figure out if it’s something we can fix on our own or if I’ll have to take it in. I’ve only got 57k miles on it but I think my bumper to bumper warranty is up on the time I’ve had it…of course.
