Thanks for asking this. I have a 2018 STX and have never experienced what happened to the OP, at least based on what I believe to be the chain of events, and I may not have those right. Genuinely curious to the point I may take both sets of my keys and try to recreate those events.

I’m starting to think there is either simmering wrong with the truck or someone messed with it with forscan. I find the latter hard to believe since it is bone stitch otherwise. It did it again yesterday at the gas station. I rolled down the window since I don’t trust it and was able to get back in easily.

I did some checking last night. My XL can't be connected to Ford Pass. I checked my window sticker and a couple of old pages on dealer websites.

Have you tried turning off Autolock?

In another post I just found it apparently doesn't work this way after a change in 2019. One post also makes it sound like it is the function that locks your vehicle after you start driving. Mine is locking itself after I shut the door with the truck running.

I'm putting an update on here in case anyone searches this in the future. I did some testing the other day and was able to replicate the issue that originally happened. I had been driving the truck, past the auto-lock limit, and came to a stop and put it in park. I got out, left the key in the ignition and shut the door. At this point, the lock was still up. I reached to open the door and as I pulled the handle, it automatically locked the door.
I can't imagine this is a feature and is a defect of some sort. It's out of the bumper-to-bumper warranty so I'm not going to have Ford look at it. I have the keypad, just haven't had the time to install it yet. That will alleviate the issue if I accidentally lock myself out. I will also try turning off auto lock and see if that stops it from happening too. I'll update once I have tested that.
