While driving down a city street my doors unlocked, all of them. While still driving I pushed the button on the driver door to lock the doors and they all locked. Shut my car off at my destination, got back into car and started it, began driving and again it happened, I re locked all the doors again. Next day, started car, put into reverse and a warning flashed across my information screen about my back up camera not functioning correctly (this was not an option on my car when I bought it, there is no back up camera) since then I don't have the outdoor temp showing anymore and the radio volume, phone buttons on steering wheel do not work, just the ones on the right ride of steering wheel. This has happened just since my warranty on these items has expired. Was this done on purpose by the dealership, using software installed while getting my complementary oil change (that has now also expired)? I have not had my car in for a recall within the last year. If I remember it has only been in for one recall right after I first bought it (around January 2016) so I know it's not that. I have searched the world wide web to learn that many other people are having the same issues with no resolve and there are no recalls. I feel my doors unlocking while driving down the road is a safety issue.
