The shift lock is also to keep small kids in parking lots who climb over into the front seat while dad is parked with car/ac on and the kid throws the center console shifter into gear.

I agree--locking after car is in drive--ok

Unlocking after park is engaged--stupid

That wouldn't be so bad if ALL the doors didn't unlock, that is stupid, another GM innovation!

I don't agree with that.

I think they should stay locked, and automatically unlock when you open the door handle.

Regardless - unfortunately the G doesn't auto-lock. I will miss that feature.

^Yes, I'm happy for it to stay locked after turning it off. I might not want someone to open my door for bad reasons right after I turn it off and before I am ready to get out.
