Dang, that's freaky. Sorry I don't have much guidance. How old is your battery? I know that erratic power / dead or dying batteries can cause all kinds of weird stuff.

Water intrusion from a clogged cowl is always suspect with weird electrical stuff, as is a failed module. Also a possibility is your key was being pressed in your pocket, these cars have a convenience feature where if you hold the unlock button, it opens all the windows and sunroof.

Too many posibilities, a scan with STAR would be best to try to sort it out.

The convenience function works by infra red and only works very close to the driver's door handle so that is unlikely to be the cause.

Unfortunately though I can't add any suggestions as to the cause though I do recall this being asked before on other fora, so it is an known issue.

I wonder if a short in the drivers door harness might cause the convenience open feature to function on it's own?
