Door unlock and lock when washing car??

Just found out that when I have my key in my pocket, the door would lock and unlock when I'm hosing the car down. It doesn't happen once, but it whenever the water stream is the windshield and the door handle, and if I am in front of the car only. I tried to stay on the side and it did nothing. Has anyone have the same encounter?

I thought of something like that but then that only work if I am directly in the front of the car. If that is not an issue, then it good then lol

I use Optimum No Rinse and never keep the key near the vehicle after I've parked it on the driveway because I was unlocking the car and it got annoying after awhile.

It kinda strange that it only happened if I am in front of the car hahaha. I'm used to having the key in my pocket. Will have to put it elsewhere when washing or cleaning the car next time =)

Perfectly normal. My Accord did it, my TLX does it. Many do.

Mine does the same. I now leave the key fob inside my house when I was the car.
