Our family just got back to our car after a heavy rain and... to our surprise all the windows are open! We thought who the h*ll's goona try and rob us under that heavy rain. Parked it locked before we went for dinner and now this? My dad's key fob doesn't have any fancy window-open features, and the car was definitely locked. Anyone ever experience this ? Maybe a lightning strike or some secret flood-response system gone wrong?
 
He must've accidentally double-pressed and held the unlock button on the key fob without realizing it. Experienced that before too lol.
 
This happened to us once too! After a storm, we found our car windows down even though it was locked. Turned out we accidentally triggered the global open feature on the key fob. Could be something similar?
 
Definitely an issue with the key fob. Seriously, it's probably the one thing that drives me nuts about this car, awful design.
 
Seriously, the best thing to do is just tell us what car you've got. That way we can figure out exactly what your key fob can do. It's super easy to miss a feature or think something;s broken when it's not. I've been there! If it were me and nothing was actually stolen I'd just be glad that's all it was.
 
That’s a weird one! How far were you from the car while eating? And was it raining heavily when you parked? Just trying to figure out if it was a sensor glitch, something triggered the windows to open, or maybe it wasn’t locked properly after all.
