The one thing that I found that we had in common was that we were corning rather enthusiastically, and hit a bump while cornering.
Coincidentally, the other person was also exiting from a freeway (late for the ramp, so he yanked the wheel - and hit a small bump). My experience occurred hustling around a 90 degree turn, when the inside rear wheel dropped off of the pavement. It wasn't a big, jarring, jolt . . . but it was enough to cause the doors to unlock enexpectedly.
I don' t know if this is due to the rollover/accident feature, or if there is simply a place in the circuit that can short when hitting a bump while cornering.
Either way, it hasn't happened since, so I don't think that it's a major deal (with my car). If it happens to you repeatedly, then I'd have the dealer check it out.

I posted this problem last month, but I never find the problem cause!!!
But my car unlocked even when stoping, and other times unlock and lock imediatly
I went to the dealer to solve other problems and mentioned it, now its ok, but I still dont know what was the problem
(the dealer say he didn't do anything!!!)

it was probably a glitch, i've had a few in my car. if it happens again, go to the dealer and have them clear all the fault codes. When i was having problems with my sunroof and windows, i had my father clear all the fault codes and everything went back to normal.
