      Were the doors locked because you had been up to speed and you never unlocked them with the fob or the button, so the latch still opened it, but it was still locked from the outside?

      Elmar,It is not normal for the Gen 4 to be started, with key in ignition and engine running, and then self-locking when you close the door. PS: They were NOT supposed to allow Toxic Orange ACRs out of MY COUNTRY !!!! (kidding)

      Sorry Jon 😉

      The car was only idling on it’s place, not moved an inch.

      I have had my 2009 “self lock” overnight. Might be those mean ole North Koreans.
      But seriously, it has locked me out several times, so I don’t leave the keys inside, running or not.

      You were lucky this happened in your garage where you could get the other set of keys.

      I once locked my keys in the car while the motor and AC were on. This was back in the days before cell phones so I had to find a pay phone. Called home and the line was busy for a half hour. Finally got through and had the keys brought out. Turns out my daughter was on the phone all that time.

      The moral of the story: Never get out of your car without the keys in your hand.

      Things like this are not uncommon…for a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic reasons.

      I NEVER drive any generation of Viper without TWO sets of keys/fobs on my person.

      That was the great thing of a Gen. 1. You could always get in to the car. 😀

      Today I started the car, got out of the car to open the garage doors.
      The drivers door was not fully closed, but I could’nt get it open. So i pushed it fully locked.
      But still it stayed closed. Also the other door and trunk.
      Thankfully I was at home and got the other key/fob to open the car.

      Car has Mopar pcm.
      Is this normal, or must I never leave the keys in the car?
