After locking all my dooors when my car exceeds 15mph, something in the system tells it that the doors are still unlocked. This causes the system to repeatedly force the actuators to try and lock the doors over and over again.
This problem is intermittent, occuring mostly in the morning and when turning right. Do you have an idea of what might be wrong with the car?

One of the sensors in the doors isn't doing it's job.

The sensor could be bad, or out of adjustment.
It's unlikely but it could also be a broken wire going to one of the locks.

If that is the problem, why then would ALL doors react this way, instead of just the door with the "faulty sensor"?

Your car might unlock the drivers door or the back door separate from the rest using the remote.
But the BCM isn't programmed to lock the doors independently.
