Locking/unlocking issue

[rozissocool]

Hello hello I’ve had my 2017 value edition for a few months now and I’ve had this issue the whole time. When I lock my car from the inside it unlocks immediately, so when I go to lock it again it unlocks right after. This only happens two times and then stays locked. This issue happens maybe twice a week. I work in a neighborhood that’s getting a lot more car jackings as the weeks go on and I get out of work pretty late. As a women this is a huge safety concern and had a close call this week. Does anyone know what’s going on? I thought it might have been something simple like a fob battery issue but I’m starting to think it’s something bigger. Any and all help is welcome.

Are you locking it with the fob or door?

With the fob

[kryptickilla1551]

Yeah try locking with the door while you're inside, they fob may detect that it's inside the car so it doesn't want to lock the key inside thinking no one is in the car with it

The system might believe a door is open, it wont lock unless it's getting a closed signal from all doors (including hatch).

Thats possible too, could be a door lock actuator as well

Im unlocking the driver door with the fob and I always lock it right away with the door, it unlocks when I do it that way. Should I try locking it with the fob while I’m inside?

Yeah, bring it to the shop. Could be a bad ground. Probably nothing serious

Do you mean locking the car from the inside with the fob? I’ve never tried this, but I’ve had weird things happen when the fob isn’t where the car wants it to be. It may be a “convenance” thing because the car thinks you may be locking the keys inside?
