Failing door lock actuators

Around a year and a half ago, my passenger-side front door lock actuator failed and it was replaced under warranty. Last week, my driver-side rear door lock started exhibiting the same symptoms and has since died. I made an appointment to bring the car into the dealership for repair for next week.

Well - today, I saw that my passenger-side rear door lock has also stopped working as well. That's failure of three out of the four door lock actuators in under three years.

Is this a common thing on the Gen 2s or am I just lucky?

I brought my car in today to the dealer. Diagnostics showed both rear actuators failed (which I expected) and they will be covered under the extended warranty. Dealer also agreed to do the software update for the backfire/pop from the exhaust - also covered.

The bad news is that they won't have the parts in until Monday so I am stuck in a loaner over the weekend. The worse news is that the loaner is a base-model Malibu LT :)
The good news is you will be happier when you get your car back!
