None of your rear doors will lock or close properly, and they have opened while you're driving. This is a serious safety issue since the doors are not staying secure during operation. The problem likely involves the door latch mechanism or lock linkage and will need to be inspected and repaired by a technician.

Your front driver side door won't open from either the inside or outside while the vehicle is parked. You had to exit through another door to leave the vehicle. This is a door latch or linkage issue that prevents you from using the driver's door normally.
