Doors locking on their own!


Gone Again

Recommended Posts

Have had it happen 4 times since new on my 2010 GMT-900. The key was left in the ignition, but not always all the way in the ignition. It was out far enough so the chime didn't go off. The horn would chirp once and the doors would then lock. The last time the doors were all opened as I was cleaning the inside. Very strange. My buddy has 2009 GMC and his has done this also. Wondering if this is happening to others. Never has happened with key out of ignition. Taking it in this week as it goes out of warranty March 1. Will post what they find if anything.

Dad's 2009 Sierra did this to me one morning when we were packing up to go fishing. Scared the crap out of me thinking the darn thing locked the keys in the truck. Thought I was going to have to wake my dad up @ 4am to either drive 45 minutes to open the doors or call on star and have them do it. Thankfully the passenger door was still open. I do this all the time in my 2006 Silverado and it never locks the doors.

Did you hear 3 chimes in a row while cleaning? If you hit the lock button once while the doors are open the truck sets up to lock all doors and set the alarm 5 seconds after the last door shuts. It's in the manual if you want to look it up :-)

2011 and 2012 Suburbans used a crew vehicles on a job I used to be on did the same thing. A single chime, no one in the truck and the doors would lock. We had it do it with the window open and no one in it, not to mention the only set of keys for partially pulled from the ignition.

 

Like everything else GM dealers just said they couldn't replicate it and or it was normal.

    • I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool. 
    • Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.
    • Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:    
    • The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
