i have the experience of the doors locking on me with the keys in the ignition. it was a hot day and my dog was inside the car. that was no good.
Reminds me of a story. Back in college I worked for Amoco Motor Club for awhile. Got a call one night from a woman who had locked her keys in her 3 day old Lexus. There was a blizzard going on and it was going to be at least 3 hours for us to get someone there. That's when we found out she had her baby inside in the car seat! We ended up having to talk her into breaking a window out of her brand new, very expensive car.
So, yeah, malfunctioning door locks are definitely something you want to get taken care of. Can cause all kinds of problems.
