I'd check the wires where they go from the body to the doors.  The
flexing breaks them eventually.  When I unlock  my passenger side door
with the key, the other locks sometimes don't get the message until I
open the door and the wires bend a little to make contact.

Then it did work great for about ten times if I locked it at the driver side.  Then it did not do it again that way.  Only if I locked it at the pass. side, but then it did not lock the driver's side, only the others.
