Doors lock everytime I go below 10 mph even when the doors were never opened......

OK, I was driving the car all day 400+ miles and all was fine. I came to a stop and started moving again and the doors locked like I had just opened the door. I drove on and came to the next light and took off and it happened again. So I pulled over and opened and closed all my doors. The lights turn off in the cabin when I close the doors and the computer doesn't signal a door being open.

I shut the car off, open and close the trunk and try to lock the car with the remote and it locks and the parking lights work. If I hit the remote a second time, I don't get the beep confirmation and the lights wont blink. I went into the driver system setup and reset all my driver #1 settings and it still has no change. I turned off my auto lock after 10 mph for now to stop the annoying locking but I am wondering if anyone has run into this problem. I haven't tried to disconnect the battery yet and I am on the road all week so I have no time to mess with it.

I will look in my service manual when I get home to see what it can be but I figured I would post a thread to see if anyone has had issues with this before. Thanks!

I've had that a few times one of ur doorlock actuator is faulty even though it is locked it tells the computer it is open so the the computer keeps on trying to lock it! If ur under warranty take it to the dealer they can connect the hds and find the faulty one quickly or u can take all ur door panels off put it back on 10 mph and disconnect one by one until u find the faulty one!

This was the culprit on my wife's GLI. We couldn't figure it out for months.

Thanks.....Yeah, I went out to the car after I typed this and disconnected the battery to see what would happen and what do you know, it worked! I drove the car tonight with no issues so all seems ok.

Since I just turned 204,000 miles today, I'm just out of my warranty period....

thought i had the same problem, finally realized it was the girlfriend repeatedly hitting the lock button whenever we entered a busy street in baltimore city late night
