Dude……. Just lock your car.Though none of those scenarios apply to me, nor frankly look reasonable to me, I never said there should be just one true way. To the contrary, I repeatedly said it's a simple software fix to allow customization. You are not forced to use the walk away feature either, which would prevent you from doing all those things. Don't like it -- turn it off. What was ridiculous in this thread was people insisting that the current behavior is the only one that has the right to exist, even though it's clearly a corner case and opens people to the possibility of theft.
No car ever has locked itself without interaction from the driver somehow, which is what you’re asking for.
You have SO many options on how to lock the car. Just use one of those. If you don’t do one of these things, it’s YOU that opens the car up to the “possibility of theft.”
-hit lock on the inside of the door
-hit lock on the outside of the door
-use the keypad code to lock
-hit lock on the key fob
-hit lock on the FordPass app
-close the doors and walk away with the fob
-close the doors and walk away with PAAK
The only “ridiculous corner case,” is the person who leaves the doors open, returns without a fob or phone, and FORGETS to do one of the above things!
