I have a '98 "grand" voyager and it has one annoying habit, you start out with the locks unlocked and when you hit 20 MPH, they all lock so I get out at a hardware store or something, and I have to hit the unlock button on my fob twice to get the tailgate to unlock. Anyone know any useful way of killing that so-called feature? I know, take out the door lock fuse, Thanks but maybe something more specific that lets me lock the doors when I want to, not when the stupid CAR wants to?

I know about the child lock but it doesn't stop the stupid locks going off above 20. So its a computer thing, I was thinking it was just a switch on the speedo, but I guess its buried in an Al Gore Rhythm..

This is actually a great feature on most minivans. The #1 market for these minivans is the suburban mom with kids. I've heard many moms say this is a great feature because they don't have to constantly check to see if the doors are locked. They just pack the kids in and go. And with the child-safety feature on the manual locks, the doors stay locked. In today's world, even a single woman can have peace-of-mind knowing her doors are locked. My 2003 Saturn Ion 3 QC has this feature also and I like it.

It's a tough world. Have them take out the autolocks, and go back to using the key.
