You guys should just for fun check and make sure your locks work with the key fob. I just realized my drivers door only works manually. The fob will arm the alarm and lock/unlock all the other doors but does nothing for the driver door. Onstar doesnt work either. My truck has 35k miles and I am trying to get in to get it fixed before its out of warranty. I have just been working to much.

That doesn't sound right, at the very least your fob should lock your driver door. At this point this shouldn't be something you need to roll into the dealer for, break out your manual and check your programming.

As far as the door lock, the actuator could be broken. Happened to my sisters 08 equinox. She would hit the fob and the lights would blink and the alarm would go on. All the doors would lock except the driver door. But she could lock it manually.

 

Had to get the lock actuator replaced.

 

Shouldn't be an issue while under warranty.

Could be anti lockout detection screwing up thinking the key is still in the truck.

 

Check your center console settings see if you can disable the detection

I had mine replaced around 23K. It got me in trouble too. When I get home from work I have a habit of checking the doors on the truck and the wifes car. I yelled at her because the truck was unlocked almost every day that she drove it. I felt bad when she actually did lock 'em, but the actuator had failed!

This thread made me paranoid lol. I walked around and checked all my doors after locking the truck today today. Mine are still working correctly for now. Knock on wood.

 

Luckily I am able to park it in a spot where I can watch it all day long.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
