Interesting door lock problem
This morning, parking the car at work , I accidentally bumped the off switch twice in a row quickly. The car went into accessory mode without me being aware of it. I pushed the door unlock button to exit and nothing happened! Without panicking, I looked and saw I was in acc mode and pushed the off button again to turn the car off, but the door would not unlock. So, I restarted the engine, and then shut down properly. Then the door unlock button worked properly. Wierd.
Just in case the same thing happens to you, I guess you have to restart and shut down properly to reboot the system.

Gary,
I've had similar problems with my 05 MN6. A few times I had to remove/distance the FOB by getting out of the car and walking away.
Once it would not start at all. Towed to the dealer. They replaced the column lock assy for the fix. If still in warrantee try the dealer.
