Default my car locked by herself while driving??

I dont think I ever seen this problem before. yesterday I was driving on the highway with 65mph and all suddenly the key lock moved itself and I got locked out. I was thinking wtf is going on and I tried to unlock them but it locks itself again??? I got so scared since the night before I was watching the Final Destiny 2 dvd.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on but still can't find out the answer.
I thought the some frequency signal activated my keyless entry system but my keyless entry never worked.
I remember there's some child proof program on certain car. like after 15mph, it locks by itself but I dont think we have this problem installed on sc's. - and I stopped the car complately but still locks itself when I tried to unlock the door...

once I stopped the engine and seemed fine after all. my friend was also in the car but we were screaming like crazy. any idea?? I dont wanna die yet !!!!!!

that is odd...i know that when i start my car and leave it in park i am unable to lock the doors..which is good in the winter time...but to have it auto lock no---even at 15mph it wont lock....sometime my door is never locked...so for it to lock you out is very strange..

Hey, i thought that the auto-lock feature was added to the Soarer BECAUSE of the US market (anti hijacking feature). I know Japan doesnt have any problems with car jackings!

Anyway, i think that there might be a short in the central locking signal wires. They run off grounded signals, so if one of the wires becomes exposed and hits the body somewhere, your doors will lock

Its happened in my car a few times, but I have an after market car alarm. It will lock the doors on me then won't respond to the remote unlock. When I tried to use the key to unlock it, it instantly locks it again on me, lol
I just have to hit unlock 3-4 times before it will listen

sorry thats not of much help, figured id share the info anyway though
