I'm sure lots of people don't want their 4 year old kids jumping out of the back as soon as they put it in Park.
thats what the child locks are for.

I do not understand why anyone would want a car to unlock all the door whenever the driver places the shifter in park.
This makes no sense to me.

I mean, you stop for a train and, for safety, you put it in park, all the doors unlock, then the bears can get in with you.
If you are in the city; you stop for a peaceful protest and, for safety, you put it in park, all the doors unlock, then a peaceful protester can molotov you.

In all seriousness, if I looked at a car that unlocked all the doors when I put it in park, I wouldn't buy it.

My 2019 XLT works fine. I drive it and at 13mph everything locks. ie: doors, tailgate. when I get where I am going I put it in park, shut the engine off, take the key out and (wait for it) I open the driver's door and everything unlocks. could it be any easier?

i live in SD where we basically have no crime, but we do have negative 30 degree temps in the winter. When it’s -10 or colder, I don’t shut off my pickup until I pull back into my garage. When I get out & FORGET to unlock the doors & get to the back or the other side of my pickup & it’s locked it’s very frustrating!! & if it’s so easy to push the lock/unlock button, then why can’t u just push lock again after it unlocks in park?

It would be nice to give the owner the Option to set the door unlock in Park.

I work for a parts delivery and am quickly getting parts out of my crew cab about 40 times a day without shutting my truck off as I am in and out in a minute.
That means I have to push my unlock over 300 times a year. I have had to replace them twice because of wear and tear. How many of you would like to be hitting the unlock that many times or turning off and restarting your truck that many times so that opening the door unlocks all?

I understand if someone has kids too that don’t want them just jumping out at any time.

Since this is the 21st century Tech age, Just give the owner the option to configure per circumstances

I had the ability on my 2017 to program locks in vehicle settings, not on my 2020, I’ve had the truck 3 years and still forget to unlock to get into tailgate, 😡😡😡
