Maybe they need to add few miliseconds to the pulse

 

I have an '06 Touring, too and run into this problem. My come and goes in batches. I haven't figured out what causes it to work or not.

I haven't mentioned this to the dealer yet as it is an annoyance rather than a safety or drivability problem.

Please tell me how it goes when your car gets serviced

 

I had a friend of mine who has the same '06 Touring as I do, though he did have NAV, and he had a problem where he closed the door (with one of his kids inside), the engine running and the door automatically locked! He had to call the cops who ended up busting one of the windows to get in...the dealer ended up replacing the entire control unit for the locks (some computer piece).

 

maybe there's a loose or damaged plug somewhere?

 

You probably already know this, but just in case...

If I get myself out of order - having 3 kids under 6 does that to you - and turn off the ignition before shifting to park, the doors do not unlock.

 

Went to the dealer yesterday, and of course the locks were working fine and the intermittent problem wasn't there. The result, they tested it, but nothing was found so nothing was done.

Yep. Same thing happens to me. Otherwise my doors ALWAYS open when I turn off the engine, as long as the transmission is in Park.

Interesting leaving a vehicle with a running engine and really young children inside?



Sorry for the taken out window in the aftermath though....the only really quick viable option in the end.

 

He got out of the car to pick up something in his friend's driveway, and unfortunately, his kid was buckled in a car seat so she couldn't reach any buttons to open a window or door lock. Because of that happening to him, I no longer close the door when I get out when I have the kids in the car.

 

Whenever I go to the airport or anywhere else that I am going to get out of the car and leave it running I ALWAYS put down the drivers window. If they lock you just reach in and unlock.

This is a problem? Some day's I'd love to lock my kids in the van!
