This minivan just started having intermittent door locking problems. The door locking solenoids will lock themselves intermittently. No matter if you are driving or while the car is sitting shut off, if the keys are in the ignition or keys not in the ignition, the door locks will cycle themselves into the locked position. It will do it up to 10 times an hour. The keyfob, the door switches all work nomally also, it is just that something is activating the door locks.

With the doors locking and unlocking by themselves the problem could be in the body control module {BCM} To start with do you have a remote door lock buttonon your key ring? If so check the battery. If it is good and works properly then I would have the vehicle scanned to see if any codes come up. Some vehicles have anti theft module. Most circuits are in the BCM.
