Default Doors unlocking auto without pressing button

I have a 2022 F150. When I approach the truck, the courtesy lights turn on, which is nice. But sometime the doors unlock automatically, the solenoid (?) clicks and the lights on the mirror repeatedly. I don't know if the doors unlocking is a "feature" or a malfunction. It is intermittent though. It's not a huge problem since I'm usually preparing to open the door, but here's the catch. It also unlocks when I walk away occasionally. That's a problem.
I took it to the dealer and they said it had no error codes. The Ford hotline (whatever that is) said to replace both key fobs. Done. Problem remains.
So do you think I have a "feature" turned on that isn't working all the time or do you think something is broken? And how to proceed from there?

Are you sure that the unlock button isn't getting depressed in your pocket? My only other thought would be a bad sensor on the door handle picking up something thinking it's your hand.

Yeah, I'm sure. That was my first thought after noticing it, but I've held it in the palm of my open hand and it has done the same thing.

Sounds like a malfunction.

I did a chat session with Ford tech support. They said to replace the RKE module, which I learned is the remote keyless entry module. So the dealer should be ordering a replacement and call for scheduling installation.
