Remote locks everything BUT Passenger door
Yes, it's true, I just got the car yesterday and found out today that the passenger door doesn't lock with the remote. It does, however, with the key, thank God. Is this a known issue? I mean obviously, the lock works, but just not via remote.
Any information would help before I take it in to get an expensive answer .
Thanks

I have the same issue but just with the driver's door. All others lock and unlock with the remote, except the driver's door.
As PD mentioned, it's probably the actuator. Haven't bothered to check it yet, though.

I can hear it trying to unlock/lock, but it doesn't work. Still works with the key and manually from inside the car though. I just found the lock actuator DIY if anyone else is looking for this. There's apparently a little motor much like toy car motor that powers the actuator. Much cheaper to perform the transplant than going to the dealer:

I just ordered one of the motors from eBay as listed in the DIY, found in one of the later pages in the thread.
Here's another option (page 3, second post):
