It is a safety feature. The driver door is a two function lock. Single turn of the key unlock driver door only. If you hold the key in the unlock position for about 4 seconds it will unlock ALL the doors. If that does not work to unlock all doors, try turning the key two times quickly. One of those two methods works to unlock all the doors from the driver side.

The safety aspect is so that you can choose to open only the driver door with a single turn, or open all the doors when you have passengers with you. If it is you alone, you do not want to unlock all doors because a killer can jump in from one of your other doors into your car. You can choose to unlock ONLY your driver door or unlock all the doors.

From the passenger side, it is a no brainer to open all the doors, because if the passenger is opening the doors, the driver will still need access to the car, so it opens up all the doors from the passenger side.

I think that's the way they were made. My passenger side locks and unlocks all 4 doors with the key, but on the drivers side it just locks and unlocks the drivers door.

Did no one read my answer? If you HOLD the key in the turned position for 4 seconds, it will UNLOCK ALL DOORS.
