Problem - doors keep unlocking

Odd...at speed, my doors keep unlocking themselves...

then when I come to a complete stop and pass 10 mph, the relock. (which is expected)

any idea why they pop open?

Mine did the same thing 6 times on the way home from Classic MINI in Cleveland to Grand Rapids, MI last week (May 1). It hasn't happened since and I have no idea why it stopped. I mentioned it to my MA (Mike Kost) and he said he hasn't heard of this problem.

So I guess I'm no help, but now we both know we are not alone.

Yeah, my MA said all I needed was to have the setting "reflashed"

I hate having to have a new car serviced!
