I noticed today that when I was installing my grill, that the car would lock on me randomly. I thought it was me pushing the button so i set the key on the garbage can and kept working. Little did I know that that had 0 effect. It locked itself a few more times! It stopped, but it has done it before and I have no idea why.

Anyone else experience this??

 

is someone in the house w/ your spare key? I did that to my brother when he was washing his car and couldn't figure it out until he notice his spare key was in a different location.

 

Mine does it. It was doing it on me when I was installing led strips to light the trunk over the weekend.

My murano does the same. i close the door with out locking it for like 1 min or so it locks up by its self. I guess its made just incase you forget to lock it when you leave it locks up.

 

Glad to know it isn't just my car.

 

Yep mine does lock itself after about a minute too.

 

Its a safety feature with our cars, if your car is unlocked and the door is not opened within 1 minute then the car auto locks for safety.

 

that totally slipped my mind! Is that the problem your having now?

 

i think the 08s have an autolock feature dont they?

 

Mine does that too. Is there a sensor in case u leave ur keys on the seat or something. Cuz my car never locked me out and I leave the keys inside, out of the ignition when detailing...

 

Mine never does this. Only time this happens is when the fog is in my pocket and something hits/pushes on it.

This is true. If you've hit the unlock button and not opened a door, the car will soon lock itself again. Other than that though, you should not have phantom lock outs.

 

Yeah I agree with Scott. The only time mine locks by itself is if I hit unlock and the door isn't open within due time.

 

^^ agreed, this sounds like the most probable explanation. I know I have left my car unlocked in the driveway when thinking I would run right back out, but then never did and found it still unlocked the next morning.

Unless it's possibly a particular setting that must be enabled or something, I don't think the 07 should autolock spontaneously.
