Doors Randomly Unlocking While Driving

This morning while on way to work, I must have been cruising at about 40 MPH, when all of a sudden, doors unlocked. Shortly thereafter I came to a red light, but once I took off, doors didn't automatically lock as they should when car is 9 MPH. Once I arrived to work, I manually locked doors using door buttons and they locked fine. I have not driven car again since this morning. Any ideas what could be the snafu!

Sat on your key?
I pressed the panic button with my key in my pocket once and scared the crap out of myself. Granted, I was sitting at a gas station but still.
Keep an eye on it.

Well, key fob was in my pocket, it's possible it was getting squeezed and somehow got triggered, but that's easy to fix!

You could still take it to the dealer and pay $150 for a diagnosis and drink some free bad K-cup coffee! ha

May or may not be related but sometimes, if you hit a hard bump, the doors will automatically unlock because the vehicle may have detected an accident, more of a safety feature in case you needed to exit the vehicle in case that was an emergency.

I had that happen to me not too long ago, hit a really bad bump on the highway at speeds. Felt like the car might have bottomed out, the doors unlocked. First time it happened to me. It stayed unlocked and I just hit the lock button a couple minutes later.
