Rear doors wont lock

So I discovered an issue. I lock my GLE, put the keys in the house and go back out to the car. both front doors are locked as they should be. rear passenger opens right up...hmmm..rear drivers opens up, but sounds the alarm. That doesnt seem to secure to me.

Sounds like you are describing a problem, particularly when each door does something different. If the car is in fact under warranty, or even if it isn't, have your dealership check it out.

Has anybody seen this occur with model years outside of those covered by the recall (2017-2018)? My left rear door doesn't seem to be locking properly, and I wonder if there might still be a service campaign that includes 2016 models too (even though my vehicle shows no outstanding recalls).
