Had this problem a few years ago, never solved it as it went away. Came back
tonight, electric locks, drivers door won't open. Go to passenger side and
try to open , locks flick up and down, catch it on the 'open part' , climb
in and exit thru passenger side .
This is normally a no big deal as I live in a quite area, trouble is I'm
heading to Atlanta for a week long class and I don't think I can leave it
unlocked like I do around here.   As I'm driving the driver door is locked,
all others are unlocked , the  " door open" light is on and the beeper is
on....   All suggestions welcome, and I mean all !

Same think happened to me with a 03 Optima.  I went to the dealer and
them had to change the driver side lock.

Problem went away again ...one of several things that's happened over the
years, not going into drive on very cold mornings....went away.
Check engine light, ( I know to check the gas cap) would come on several
times a day for weeks , went away ..  never had to call for a tow but I have
this feeling one cold rainy night these things will connive together at some
real bad time.
