    I've a 05 Saab 9-3 1.8i and I've been driving it now for about 6 months, a lovely car.
    One or two issues popped up but easily fixed, such as replacing the MAF.
    But the persistent issue is now around the door locks.
    It's 50:50 if one or both of the rear doors lock on the press of the button on the fob and the drivers side front lock is refusing to lock the odd time too.
    Now, if I get in and apply gentle pressure to the door button, it pops down and then it works fine again.
    So, what's the problem and is it economically viable to repair?
    I've checked there Saab forums and it seems very expensive.

    Could be just sticky, try WD40 with the straw down the shafts on all the doors?
