Comfort Access & High Battery Drain

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has seen the same issues I'm having. And before you read the title and jump on the "use the search" bandwagon, I have already.

So I've intermittently seen the high battery drain warning come up on the MFD. I figured it was phone chargers and what not, but recently I've started having issues with comfort access. I first noticed it when the door closed one day and the doors immediately locked and the alarm activated without pressing the FOB.

It seems that the door handles are a common culprit, so I've checked all the handles with a FLIR camera, and none of them are generating heat, so I'm fairly confident that it's not an issue with a short in the handle circuitry.

While checking all the handles to make sure the touch lock feature works, I noticed that when I come around the drivers side rear corner of the vehicle, it seems to be a hot spot for activating the alarm and locks.

Also, when standing next to the car it seems like it's trying to lock the doors repeatedly after I press the lock button on the FOB. Same thing happens once I unlock. It's like the module is receiving repeated commands that aren't real somehow. I feel like it's a faulty module or proximity sensor.
