Some time last night, while I was in the house and the van was in the driveway, I managed to do the magic button press. All of the windows rolled down. Right before the overnight rain.  |
The same thing happens with my Chevy Volt. When I researched this on the volt user forums, I found evidence that it CAN be fixed. There's a software change required, the service center needs to know it's possible and have the correct info available, but it's supposed to work to disable the "feature".
This happened to me a few times too, but only when the car was in the carport. I'm more worried about theft or vandalism, give the fact we've already had stuff stolen from a shed in our yard. For me, it seems to happen with pants that fit a certain way - that tends to hold the key fob in my pocket in a particular orientation.
