Once I arrived back a the vehicle I found the doors locked, door handle unlock button unresponsive with multiple attempts. Vehicle failed to unlock while I stood outside in -13 degree weather, completely unsafe, for 5 min. I tried all doors and tried unlocking from passenger side. There was no unlocking sound when pressing the door buttons. I tried the chevy app to unlock standing right next to the vehicle, it did not unlock immediately. After a minute or longer delay the locking mechanism started to engage or disengage randomly without me pressing buttons on the door or app. Each time I tried to open the door without success. On the last click I was able to suddenly open the door. 2530 odometer reading.
