#1 - The Lock/Unlock feature fails. The door can still be used, the easy close assist feature still works but now you have to reach in and manually move the lock/unlock indicator on the inside of the door. A nuisance but livable.
Fix A: Replacing 12v motor inside actuator housing ~$5
Fix B: Purchase new motor unit ~$400-$500
Front Left - 69120-50030
Front Right - 69110-50030

#2 - The Easy close assist feature fails. The door can still be used and will function like a standard non-easy close actuator.
Fix: Purchase new motor unit ~$600
Front Left - 69120-50030
Front Right - 69110-50030

#3 - The Door will not latch shut. The latch will not hold itself closed. The vehicle is not fit to drive on public roads.
Fix A: Try to re-attach broken frame system. Personally I have never found a reliable and effective method to do this.
Fix B: Purchase new latch system ~$130 on Amazon/Ebay
Front Left - 69320-50030
Front Right - 69310-50090
Rear Right - 69330-50051
Rear Left - 69340-50051

Greatly appreciate the response. The issue does not seem to be a failure of the lock function. When the vehicle is running, the soft close mechanism works and the driver's door will lock and unlock when the LOCK/UNLOCK button on the driver's door is pushed. The issue is that when I approach the car from the outside, it will not unlock from the key fob.
