Is it just me, or is it often a hit and miss, when you press the lock button on the driver door?
Honestly, I feel I need to press the thing a few times.

Works for me. I have seen it take a couple of tries, but that is very rare.

When you press the button it pings your fob or PAAK, if it doesn't get a response it won't lock the doors. If that happens, try standing back further from the car or the rear lock button instead.

[7-8] + [9-0] always works.

THIS - yep, it’s the shopping trolley syndrome program this car has embedded!

Does what it likes, goes where it wants, when & how it wants.

The suspense of never knowing what happens/works next and when is the spice of the ‘Stang owner’s life ?

People have been reporting the same behavior for years. But it usually works fine for me. Not sure why it’s different for some.

I just always hit the inside door lock as I’m getting out of the car. I hear the confirming beep when I get a few feet away.

Try waiting for a count of say, three, before you press the button...that seems to work for me.

The problem is it isn't a push button. Swipe your finger across the lock symbol. It should increase the functionality to 90%.

I’m very happy with walk away lock. Just make sure all doors are closed before you walk away.

Naah, that also fails quite a bit for me. I just hit the button on the inside door panel. It *always* works. ?‍♂?
