I have 6 friends who own Silverado or Sierra trucks ranging from 2014-2021.
Contacted each of them and had them try the same scenario: keys in ignition, exit driver door and close, lock vehicle from passenger side and close. All of them were locked out.
They were not aware the situation could occur.
checked my mothers 2014 Equinox and it will lock you out in this same way.
Starting to think it’s not a fluke or a setting that needs changing. Thinking more in terms of design/engineering error. Maybe.
if you own a GM product that uses a key, and has power locks, it would be worth testing this scenario to see what happens.
it’s a situation that probably wouldnt occur often (lockout), but can be very inconvenient waiting for road service to unlock if it does.
im thinking it might be somewhat more likely to occur with a female passenger getting out of truck, since it’s sometimes more difficult for them to exit a truck. They might be more apt to grab or lean on lock area for more assistance.
These are my latest thoughts.
