2011 Journey locked key fob inside
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?

Oh gee, I never thought of that. I obviously know I’ll probably have to get a locksmith. My concern is that it happened in the first place. Is it common? Or a problem with a sensor? Any number of things. I also searched this forum before posting my question and found nothing relevant. I did not hit any buttons closing the door, the locks locked after the door shut. Which is not supposed to happen, correct? If this is a common problem then Dodge needs to be aware and fix the issue.I was hoping there would be something I could try before spending hard earned money on a locksmith.
