This vehicle has an automatic unlocking feature that is linked to the shift. Whenever the vehicle is placed in "park, " all 4 doors automatically unlock. The routine in the owners manual to "cancel" this feature does not work. I tried it over 20 times, and took it to the dealer and a local automotive electronics shop - it is just not possible to stop the automatic unlocking. The problem is that this is a threat to safety in many parts of the country, in many kinds of locations. The motorist cannot choose whether to unlock his/her doors, even if a threat is present. This feature makes the motorist vulnerable to car jacking, robbery and many other kinds of crimes.
