another auto lock door problem
Has anyone left there car running and shut the door(unlocked) to go into a corner store only to come back to your car and the doors locked them self? Thankfully it was only less then a 1/2 a mile from my house but has anyone else had this situation happen to them? I am definitely going to mention this to my dealer when I bring it in for it's first oil change...

Has not happened to me with the xD, but I'm very careful with this kind of stuff - girl's car has aftermarket alarm that has a tendency to auto-lock all the time, so I usually leave the window open if the keys are in the ignition.

how long were you gone for?
i have done this for appx 4 minutes and been fine
or when i go turn on the car in the am to heat up/defreeze etc in the am (the subaru has been getting the garage latley )
haven't run into the issue tho...

but at any rate i don't like the idea of the car locking if the key is in the ignition
unless it's moving maybe...

I have to assume that when you open your door that it unlocks the lock, correct?
Also, the autolocks that I mentioned in my other thread has not been looked at by my dealer yet, kinda lazy lately and my locks do not auto lock when I drive over 15 MPH or put it in gear(I have an automatic).

the tC used to do the same thing

I've noticed that on my xD actually. My dad commutes from LF to LA on the train for his work and when I have the car idling or off at the station, it will lock itself after a minute or so. Its pretty annoying since I'm in the car and when I open the door the alarm goes off!
About leaving the keys in the car and it on... I'd never do that. I am so paranoid about someone stealing or mugging me or anything lol. I always lock the car and put away my keys before I get too far from it.
