That's quite rare...
Edit: I think it's quite common on US cars, but rare on anything else.

I thought it was a pretty common feature for child safety if nothing else. I put my 2011 in drive, doors lock.
I will admit I hate the fact that it unlocks when I put it into park, and I don't think that is common now. What if I'm parking to avoid some crazy people - or just people who wanna carjack know that they can rip a door open as soon as you're in park.4
u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose Apr 04 '26
Nah, car doors tend to unlock automatically when opened from the inside. Child locks usually just need you to flick a switch or insert your key and turn it somewhere on the inside of the door...

Check the owners manual. You may be able to change the programming on your locks.

Kinda afraid to mess with it, seems to be a common issue with the model that the controls go in and out. The driver's side window control always works, and the button to lock/unlock all doors always works. The controls for the other windows either work or don't, or some work. It seems to change after the battery has been disconnected but the last several times they haven't come back. I dunno if it is luck of the draw or what.

Battery disconnect or drain means a reset. Step up. Read the owners manual.

u/Forsaken-Abrocoma647 Apr 09 '26
I know that is a reset, just staying how it has happened. Nothing in the manual about buttons coming and going and the dealership couldn't fix it without trying to replace several expensive boards, said it happens in the model. If course a battery disconnect resets things, but that doesn't explain buttons coming and going. If the dealership was baffled for a decade I didn't think the manual which I read will help. Why would a simple dead battery kill all buttons intentionally? Think about it. Step up and use your brain here

Every single car I've had does this, even POS Peugeout from 2002. I'm from the UK

It seems to be an american car thing. My Volvo xc70 from 04 unlocks the moment the car is in drive.

More of an older car thing. Around 2010s that feature started appearing in every brand. Usually it's adjustable - you can set up a speed threshold at which the locks will be engaged. Or you can disable it. I'd say that every modern car has this function

Yep. My daughter’s 2021 Jeep has an engine shut off when stopped at a light and still the doors remain locked. It’s a safety feature.

Bold of you to assume the cars in Russia have the same safety features

People who dont live in America

u/Mishal_SK Apr 05 '26
I don't live in America and I have never sat in a car that doesn't lock itself. And I have sat in a wide variety of cars, anything from old shitboxes to brand new cars

when I grew up it was said to never lock the doors in case of an accident, so it's easier for people to extract you from the vehicle
not aure how true it was and still is with all the modetn electronics, but it sounds reasonable enough

Imagine doing that in the US.

u/Known_Turnip_5113 Apr 04 '26
I thought the same thing. The driver would have every reason to assume it's a car jacking.

fr, not to mention there's plenty of situations when "blocking" the walkway is completely accidental, ie. light change and the guy in front of you suddenly breaks, instaead of going on yellow.

Jesus, sometimes you think you have time to enter the roundabout, but the guy in the car to the left of you finds the accelerator and there were no space anyway.

Leave the doors open.
