I just found this while browsing the internet.

Why do my doors lock every time I accelerate?
You have a door lock switch malfunctioning. Each door will have a lock ****, a switch integrated into the latch, that tells the security system if the door is locked or not. If one of them reads UNLOCKED while driving the auto lock feature will keep trying to lock the doors again and again.

Not sure how to determine the bad one. Maybe unplug one at a time if that doesn't mess with anything else?

Makes sense, the lock servo on those newer ones is part of the latch
I have had the pleasure once to replace one
It will be difficult to unplug each of them for a test
That is where I would start I think

Found these two videos. I'd try the WD 40 suggestion first.

I was able to get the lock motor to work. Plug was not plugged in very tight so I pulled it off, added dielectric grease and plugged it back in tight making sure it clicked. Its working as it should now. That's one more thing I can scratch off the long list of issues.

Quick update for anyone else having this issue. My constant door locking at every stop went away after I replaced my digital mile read out screen. I guess but can't confirm the power runs through it some how but after I replaced it with an after market one online everything went to working like normal.
