My symptoms were a particular door lock unlocking/locking slower than the rest, and sometimes not unlocking/locking at all the first try. So i'd lock/unlock again and it would work.

I noticed it for at least a month before I replaced the actuator, and during this time it did not get worse or better, the actuator itself never failed completely. Replaced it and now all doors lock/unlock every time and at the same speed.
