While I was sitting at a stop light, the door locks randomly locked and un-locked. My knee wasn't on the button, the keyless entry device was free and not touching anything and I was all alone. When I came back from the store I used the keyless entry and went for the door handle when it locked! I finally got in and went home. I got out and hit the lock on the keyless entry and it locked. I walked away and heard it un-lock. I turned around and it locked. I went inside and came back out without the keyless entry device thinking something was wrong with it. I get five feet from the car and it un-locks! I was going crazy I thought. I threw out my arms in disbelief and it locked! I am not making this up at all this is exactly how it happened. I think I need to take it in huh guys?

While I can't say I've had this problem with our durango, we have this problem with our other car ( a 93 grand am) with the power locks locking and unlocking at random.... Also a friend of mine had a nissan sentra that did that as well.

What is happening is your power door lock rocker switch is either has a loose or faulty connection. Having it replaced is a fairly small opperation involving pulling the door panel and replacing the switch ( finding which switch it is may take longer than actually replacing it.)

Good luck!

you may want to take it in. it might happen with the keys inside at the mall or something.

I have had the same ridiculously annoying problem. I will be driving down the road and click - click all friggin night. it happens randomly about twice a month. I brought in and the dealer said i was crazy.... I swear I thought my remote was shorting out or dampness was causing it... I don't know but there was a few instances i would set my locks on and I would walk away form my truck and actually hear them unlock automatically... The dealer says I should bring the truck in when it is actually doing it... it hasn't for a month or so.... keep me updated on your situation....

if i can find it i think there is a recall for this:
what happens is that when your D gets wet moisture seeps in between the glass and the door causing like a shortage or something like that

I took it to the dealer yesterday and they think they found the problem. They thought the driver side door locking motor was shorting out and they replaced. I hope this works. The moisture thing makes sense because I notice it happens more in damp or rainy weather. I will keep you guys updated....

Mine hasn't acted up in a week or so...the last thing i remember doing was putting the key in the drivers door and making it lock and unlock that way.....maybe a loose connection or something i dunno but its not doing it anymore....

I had this happen for the first time on my 2003 D this weekend. Pretty wierd. Haven't driven it that much yet to see if it returns or not. If/when you find out whats going on, post it. I would like to know... Thanks...
