Is it normal when you start the car that the car's doors locks automatically? It also seems to me my car struggles when I start the car these days!

 

Yes it is normal, for my car anyways. Safety feature within the alarm system I think. if the door is closed, it will do that. If the door is open, then it shouldn't lock. Don't know about the starter though. Mine takes a little more time sometimes, but it doesn;t bother me much.

 

uhhh mine doesnt lock on start up...i was kinda suprised when it didnt. even when its in drive it doest lock up

 

Mine does too..do you leave your lights on.

 

why do some of your guys cars lock? Mine doesn't ever lock when i start or when i put in drive. What's up with this? Is it certain years that lock?

 

mine dont lock.

 

Mine don't on my 2003, and they didn't on my 2000 until I put in a car starter...dunno if it was the way the installer wired it in or what, but after that it'd lock on startup...

 

I was just reading the manual in my 2006 TL yesterday and I recall seeing an option where you can set the computer to lock the doors when the vehicle hits 10 miles per hour. I don't recall the other options but check your manual and you'll see what other options are available to set.

 

my 2000 doesnt lock when put in gear

 

Well when I start the car its seems like it struggles! also when the door locks it doesnt sound the same when you use the switch on the door it sounds very weak. ( I dont know how to explain it)

 

If this starting problem is new, I'd check battery. It might be going bad.

 

my 2000 doesnt lock on its own.

 

yeah its the battery for start up..mine TL start up stalls for like 3 seconds then it starts up...havent changed the battery yet

 

mine locks....and unlocks when I turn off the engine....
