Door lock when key inside the car
I have seen this topic few years ago but couldn't find it after do a search. My wife put our son in the car seat then put her gym bag (that has her key fob inside) in the backseat then close the door to go around to the driver' side. When she closed the door, somehow all the doors locked up. Something inside her bag may have hit the lock button by accident but it shouldn't be able to lock the door when the key fob is inside the cabin, am I wrong? Luckily our 3 year old son was able the unlock the door for her or else this could have been a big problem since the car was parked outside in the sun.
TIA

This happened to me before but my kids was not inside the car. However, around couple minutes the door automatic unlock it self or if you try to open the trunk it might unlock it.

We have discussed this problem in several threads. It seems to be a common defect that is not well understood or appreciated. Not only does it put you at risk of locking your keys in your car it has several other safety related concerns. You should make a report of this incident to the NHTSA - your report might save a life.
Here are a couple links to prior discussions of this problem:
