So when I get out of the driver’s seat and need to get something out of the back seat I hit the unlock button on the inside of the door on my way out…..well after a few weeks of just assuming I’ve been hitting lock by mistake, I finally realized that I am in fact hitting the UNLOCK side, yet the doors will sometimes all lock. Anyone else have this issue? I tried searching but haven’t come up with anything.

How old and how many miles? It may have just worn out and need replacement.

Do you have passive entry?
I find that sometimes when I close my door, I actually touch the front outer door handle in such a way it triggers the locks.

I do have passive entry, but I’m talking about the interior lock/unlock rocker button.
