    Speed-Sensitive Auto Door-Lock Recommendation

    This isn't so much a 'glitch' as a recommendation. After I changed my auto door-lock setting from 'out-of-Park' to the 14-mph trigger, I discovered that until the vehicle is turned off, the 14-mpth trigger only happens once. This was brought to my attention when I would put the vehicle into Park at a long stoplight (which unlocked the doors), but would not again auto relock once I hit 14-mph.

    The easy solution to this problem was I simply deactivated the auto unlock when in Park. Now, when I put the vehicle into Park at a stoplight, it doesn't unlock the doors. The downside it also doesn't happen when I stop the vehicle at my destination and exit. Since I'm normally the only person in the vehicle, it's not a big issue.

    So, the recommendation is to either retain the default 'Park' settings, or when changing to the 14-mph setting, also deactivate the auto 'Park' unlock.
