i bought the vehicle used and only received one key fob. Today when leaving work I unlocked the vehicle as usual by touching the handle, loaded my purse, laptop and other items into the passenger side and shut the door so I could walk around to the driver’s side and start it up. As soon as I Shut the passenger door however, the vehicle locked itself with my purse and key inside. It’s never done this and has always reminded me by honking the horn and unlocking the doors if I attempted to leave the keys in and lock it. The vehicle had to be left at my work place and my daughter had to come get me and take me home. Why would it have done this and can I get it unlocked without paying a locksmith to come unlock it?

 

locksmith or tow truck driver with a lockout kit.

 

 

It is not a common problem.

 

then ask that question "obviously". some brands have passive locking, look into it...good feature with your passive aggression

 

This same thing happen with my wife's Journey. We were told by dealer when the battery dies in the Key Fob, it will lock the car doors.
