Auto-locking key feature

Hi,

I had my dealer program my wife's key to auto-lock after 5 mph. But told them not to do it with my key. After that when I used my key it would auto-lock. So my wife took it back to the dealer and they said it is programmed not to but they reprogrammed it again not to. Now it still auto-locks but occasionally it does not??? Everywhere I read, including the manual, states that it is a feature per key not vehicle.

Does this feature work ok for other people? Do you have 1 key with and without?

Do you think there is something wrong with the computer of our car? Or is my dealer retarded?

thanks
Jeff

Sounds like your dealer can't program your car.

Have you tried a diff. dealership? FWIW, I don't have this feature enabled so I can't attest to any problems thus far.

When I took delivery in December, I asked for the auto-locking feature on both keys. At that time, my dealer told me that the software to program this feature had not yet arrived for the MY2002 cars. I checked back with the service dept every couple weeks and they finally got the software update installed in February. Auto-lock has been working perfectly for me since then.
