Soo last night at work I just get finished cleaning the interior of my car and am moving her outta the plant/shop when I go too get out I find the door release device,lol feels very loose like its unhinged.. My door is closed properly but damn I can't get out of the drivers side . After I locked and unlocked the car a few times the handle felt stiffer and was able to get out And NO the locks weren't enabled, I mean I just backed up soo they dont engage when you back up! If youve had this prob let me know eh..

 

thats new...

 

Check the factory waranty under "Possessed by the Devil"

 

So your a blonde eh? LMAO! I would have paid money to hear that onstar call!
Hello onstar.
Help I'm locked in my car!
Calm down, are you a blonde?

LMFAO!!!! I couldn't help it man!

 

hehe no thats cool but ya I thought about blondestar when it happened believe me.. Again it wasn't my stupidity cause I know when you go forward the doors auto lock which I know about, but **** that was wierd when I back up and my door release handle thingy lol felt very loose and that it would come off, you can imagine my amazement..

 

So what actualy happened the lock rod pop off inside the door?

 

Actually they do.

Otherwise I dunno what the problem could be Dragon.

 

in my focus when you reversed it auto locked

 

My car keeps magically locking at the car wash. I think the guys just do it on purpose. Lol.

 

Sorry ya your right they do lock even when you back up, doh!! but no I was truly fubar for a minute!!! the door handle was very loose and it felt disingaged from the rest of the car... It was truly odd indeed but never happened b4 .. Whenever I have a passenger I have to tell them they have to unlock the door in order to get out if the cars still running or I unlock it for them, (love those moments ).. Thanks for the reply's everyone...

And no I'm not blonde , grey or silver in some parts yes....

 

there were some old ladies that got trapped in there car because they didnt know what manual locks were

 

When you put in park the doors unlock.

 

what's park?

 

Nice.

 

Good call, I can't seem to find a park on my car either

I have a question, don't mean to hijack your thread either, but if i use my key to unlock the car doors, the horn beeps at me? but if i use the remote, it doesn't? WTF is that for?

 

There is a little video on the net the net called BlondStar. It so fit's this thread! I'll see if I can find it...

 

its a feature that shows you how much your balt loves you!

 

You need the remote to disengage the alarm, the key shouldnt set the alarm off only if you pull the manual lock from outside the car. Am I right guys?

But the auto lock sure is a hassle. Especially when your on a date, girls get creeped out by it. LOL Maybe im just creepy hehe

 

Mine does that also. i jsut believe its an anti-theft device? i dunno haah

 

That was exactly what I thought of after reading this . Here ya go (no offense intended just figured some comical relief can never hurt ):

or the video version:

That horn beeping when you unlock it with the key is cause you've set the factory alarm when you locked it and now your getting in the car without turning it off first. If you push the lock button twice the horn will beep that is the factory alarm, once set if you open the doors with the key and don't turn off the alarm first it will beep at you. Now if you ever go out to your car and hit the unlock button and the horn beeps 3 times at you that means that someone screwed with the car while you were gone and the alarm had sounded to scare them off. Its your cars way of saying "Someone touched me while you were gone just thought you'd like to know."

Anything else?

 

How about you letting your car go through the car wash 60 miles away from your home and the dumbasses at the wash leave your car running and the door lock on them.
They had to shut down the car wash and wait until a police officer came with a slimjim to unlock my car.
I ended up with a free wash and free exterior detail for the hassel. Not Bad Huh.

Too bad i'll never bring my car their again.

 

This happened to my car last winter and spring. it was so intermittent that the dealer never got an opportunity to deal with it. We shall see what happens when it gets colder again this year.
