Default Power Locks Sometimes Don't Work

Hello. I've read other posts about issues regarding the power locks. Once in a while mine won't work, unless I push the button about a dozen times. Door switch or remote, doesn't matter. Anyone have this issue repaired? What did they do to fix it? Thanks.

Mine does that intermittently as well. Very annoying and not repeatable on demand. So I wouldn't expect much help at the dealer.

I'm pretty sure that it's due to radio interference. That's why it does it sometimes and not others and it's not repeatable on demand. I noticed that mine often does it when I'm parked at a few particular locations/business areas that I frequent... and there are other certain places that I don't recall it ever doing it.... like home.
I mentioned it to the dealer, but they often can't do much about anything intermittent unless they can reproduce the issue or they get a bulletin or something from Dodge.
As annoying as it can be (like when it's pouring rain), I just keep pushing the button and it eventually works. There's one auto parts store I frequent that it always does it, so now when I'm leaving, I start pushing the button when I'm halfway across the parking lot and 9 times out of 10 it unlocks by the time I reach the truck.
