Default Problem- Doors suddenly locking every time one is closed

Has anyone experienced their doors automatically trying to lock every time you close a door?

Not sure if its a fob issue or sensor but all of a sudden as soon as I open a door and then close it, all four doors automatically lock. It's very frustrating because you get out and go to grab your things out of the back but the doors lock up before you can get the back door open. This also happens when you enter the vehicle and close the door because when the key is inside the vehicle, as soon as the door closes the light goes on the dash and the buzzer sounds to indicate the key was left in the vehicle so you can tell its trying to lock it. It starts fine and unlocks no problem so sensors and fobs work as far as that's concerned. We also haven't changed any settings or had any repairs completed that could have caused this.

Had this issue last year and started using the spare fob which seemed to resolve the problem but now its happening with the spare fob too.
Any thoughts or experiences with this???

You might want to review the automatic door locking and unlocking systems discussed on p. 128 and the customization settings on p. 703 of the owners manual.

As it happened previously with the other fob could the button be sticking down; do you push the button very hard? I've never used the button fob only the card.

Agree. Sounds reasonable that it would be the fob. But, also unlikely that both fobs would fail... I seldom use the fob at all actually. I just use the door handles.

Also, no card keys on the RX sold in Canada. I've heard it's compatible though.
