Auto locking system locks doors while doors are open or closed and you are getting out of car or putting grocers in if ur keys are in car it still locks I have been locked out many times it is very frustrating and dangerous especially when ur daughter borrows your car and gets her9 month old baby locked in at 95 degrees at 11am in Florida in the sun in a parking lot.the locksmith could not open the door cause every time he pop the lock the system would relock it self immediately.this is a real problem.some times it locks itself in seconds or mins.it has a mind of its own.
