I purchased the vehicle 4 months ago and noticed some issues early on but I am now piecing things together and I figure they must be related.
1. Power door locks
At random times the locks will cycle when i am driving. The most it has ever gone on for is about 10 minutes and some times there will be days between episodes. Furthermore, i have episodes where, when i attempt to enter the vehicle (while parked and engine is off) the doors keep relocking. I will unlock with the fob and they will immediately relock. I end up having to quickly open the door immediately after unlocking with the fob.
2. Phone Connection:
A. Wired Connection: I have an android device and when i plug in it will connect to the android auto. Every time I connect everything will function fine for an unspecified amount of time after which it will kick me out. I will unplug and plug back in at which point it works again. I drive for my job and there will be days when it will kick me out every few minutes and there will be other days where I won't have issues for several hours but it happens almost every day.
B. Bluetooth Connection: When the wired connection cuts out frequently I will sometimes switch to the bluetooth connection even though it is less convenient but I usually just keep unplugging/plugging. Today is the first time I noticed an issue with bluetooth connection. While listening to a podcast the volume cut out but it appeared as though it was still playing. I disconnected/reconnected the phone and everything resumed. This repeated a few times after which I looked further and the screen showed that it was trying to connect to a phone call but with only my phone number listed as though the phone was trying to call itself. No ringing or other audio was heard during this process. I canceled the phone call and it confirmed that the call was ended but the audio didn't resume.
I don't want to send the vehicle to the dealer yet until I have a better idea as to what could be going on. Any ideas?
