I've heard of people complaining of the same problem and finding the BCM was going bad. The body control module (BCM) is located in the passenger side footwell and that area can sometimes get flooded or wet which will destroy the BCM.

Good point. Check to see if the carpet is wet. If so the drains for the
air conditioning may be plugged.
