My car door locks automatically when the car is put into drive. This has been a standard feature on most vehicles for a few decades. Once again Obama is a liar!
At least one of my cars would lock if you started the engine and then got out and accidentally shut the door, which is why I always carry two set of keys to this day. On the truck I have now they lock when you put it in gear like you say.
The cars are built racist!
‘My car door locks automatically when the car is put into drive.’
Unfortunately, my 13 year old still dependable Buick, UNlocks the doors when put into ‘Park!’ Even that long ago on test-driving the car, I saw the possible problem of hoodlums entering uninvited. . .
I’ve trained myself to immediately power-lock the doors upon parking, and manually unlock the driver’s side to exit. Then, of course, to lock that door with the key fob.
No doubt Obama's a liar. Here's my experience with the vehicle's I've owned over the last 20 years:
1985 Pontiac Trans Am: Doesn't lock doors Park to Drive.
1994 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe: didn't lock doors when shifting from Park to Drive. (I distinctly remember this because I had to lock the doors manually when bringing our first child home from the hospital.)
1996 Jeep Cherokee: Didn't lock the doors when shifting from Park to Drive. I distinctly remember this because anytime we had the kids in the back seat I had to manually lock the doors AND I set the child safety lock on both doors so they couldn't open the doors themselves.
1998 Dodge Grand Caravan: Locked the doors from Park to Drive. First vehicle I had that did it. Thought it was a good feature.
2003 GMC Envoy Denali: Does lock the doors when shifting from Park to Drive (but not Park to Reverse.) This is a configurable setting on the vehicle. It can also be set to NOT lock the doors from Park to Drive.
2008 Honda Odyssey Touring: Locks the doors from Park to Reverse or Park to Drive.
Not sure exactly when auto-locking the doors started when shifting from Park to Drive or Park to Reverse but the first vehicle I had that did it was purchased in 1998.
So yes, once again it's entirely possible and entirely LIKELY that Obama's not just a liar, but a damn' liar to boot.
The car that the doors locked upon ignition was a 1990’s Era Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. I remember well the day I left the engine running and got out knowing better, but I wasn’t thinking that day, and shut the door. As soon as I did I heard the “click” before I could react. Of course as soon as the doors locked it started pouring down rain, and the only other person that had a key told me “too bad” cause they weren’t about to drive 50 miles in the middle of a storm. It was probably a defect, but at the time, I just thought that’s how they were supposed to work.
I was driving a 90’s Era Ford Tempo, with the automatic seat belt nuisance thingy, when the guy tried to jack me.
