I drove my Macan out of my garage yesterday, got out, leaving the car running, closed the garage door and returned to find that it had locked itself :roll: :roll:

The keys were in the ignition, engine running with all doors locked.

Has anyone experienced this?

Is it still running now? I had it happen with a Ford Granada & the Ford dealer had to break into it, as the spare key was @ the office!

Luckily I was at home and had the spare key so managed to get in.

A friend had the same issue with a Ford Mondeo and broke the rear window with a brick to get in :o :o :( :( :(

Not experienced that thankfully.

I cannot remember it happening to any other Macan, it is or rather was a 1970’s issue with some motors where you could leave the engine running, get out and click the internal lock and the. Close the door. Father in Law used to do that often in his Cortina.

The drivers door was not properly closed (if you know what I mean!) but still locked.

When I discovered the locked (not properly closed) door I pushed it closed hoping that would help but it didn't.

Not sure if this has confused the car....
