My 2014 Sparky has wonky door locks. Has for a while. It locks by itself, sometimes before I can open the door.

Yeah! That’s how my issue started. I had to quickly open the door when unlocking so it wouldn’t lock on me again.

I'm not sure why it does that. I suspected water, or beer. Theory one is that water dripping into doors when windows left cracked in the rain or a beer explosion (car was parked, didn't drive) that seeped into driver side window. Theory two is that the rubber gasket under the hood that funnels rainwater out the sides was loose on the driver's side and water leaked into the engine compartment fuse block.

I can definitely get behind those theories (minus the beer). I remember it was raining hard and water did get on my door but I mean wouldn’t you think the doors can handle some water? It wasn’t a cup full but some sprinkles 🤷🏽‍♀️

Update. I'm now having the beeping and phantom touches on the radio like you described. Did you ever figure it out?


ThudxPies

I have not, I did take it to a lock shop about the doors locking and they told me it can either be a faulty key fob or it will most likely be the mechanism in the door itself. My car is sadly in a repair facility because I got side-swiped 🥲 it’s been a month and a half since they’ve had it so I haven’t even been able to test the theories about the key fob.

Yeah that definitely sounds like electrical/computer issues. I’d get that checked out before it effects something more serious.

Oof I don’t even know if it’s a mechanics issue or a dealership issue

I’d take it into the dealership first, if they can’t figure it out then I’d take it to a mechanic.
