Default Key Fob not working

Recently, my keyless entry remote (fob) has stopped opening the driver's side door. Also, when I shut the car off only the passenger's side door automatically unlocks. I have to manually unlock the door to get out. Has anybody else encountered this issue and is it an easy fix?

I'm having the same problem. Although it is sporadic and not all the time. End up opening the door with the key

First is your battery dead in the Key Fob
second you can go to options in your computer and select auto lock or unlock both doors or one door. When you pull the key out of the ignition both doors should unlock.
lastly check out this thread!!

Do search-its might be the door module. Most of us have had the same problem.

Being everything is associated with the drivers door only, I would say that you have an issue with the Driver Door Control Module (DDCM). Probably bad relays. Here is a link for DIY repair.
