I have a feeling this is a fairly common issue after mentioning it to my mechanic: when using the remote control, the power door locks (especially rear) don't unlock i.e. the upright buttons don't go up to unlock the doors. Therefore, I'm forced to use the key to manually open the driver's door and then, if I need to put something on the 2nd row seat, or open that door to let in a passenger, I have to reach inside to the window to pull the button up in order to unlock and open that door.

Here's another issue that I wonder if anyone's experienced: the driver's seat memory function -- what a pita! I can't believe how many steps have to be performed, all in the precise order and within an allotted few seconds, to activate/deactivate that feature! After repeatedly trying to deactivate it I gave up and, as noted above, due to the sketchy operation of the power door locks already open the driver's door manually with the key which bypasses the memory seat function altogether. If I tried using the remote control to open the driver's side door -- which doesn't work 3/4 of the time anyway -- due to the memory function the driver's seat would move to where I DON'T want it and I'd have to move it to my preferred position.

Yes, the above are hardly "serious" issues and really don't affect the drivability of the vehicle at all, but they are something of a nuisance.
