i have a similar problem. When I unlock/lock the button pops up super slow, like its struggling. In contrast,the passenger side pops up quick. Sometimes I have to pull the door unlock latch hard when exiting from the driver seat.
One time I went to close the door and it refused. I think the latch was in the closed position when it should have been in the open position.
Is this a sign of a bad door lock acuator?
Is this the right part?

I have read changing the lock actuator is not a DIY project because you need a special "BOWMAN" tool?
Any updates on this TSB?
