Turning off rear door locks' ability to lock driver doors

[navyseal334]

Unless, again, is a spot where someone wants to get in the car and lock all the doors...for safety. Imagine some criminal is about to assault you, and you jump in the back seat...and want to lock up...if that lock button not there, you are not happy.

I'd say the best "solution" is a remedial one...where it becomes clear to your children the consequences of doing this.
Was your wife able to use the My<Chevrolet/GMC/Cadillac> app to unlock the doors using her phone?

No, also left phone in the car as only was going to be at the pump for a few mins.

The thing I don't get is I've never seen this capability in another car; rear doors have only ever been able to control their own door lock.

There can definitely be a benefit to it though locking out a stranger is a fringe case and the liability of locking the driver out seems a bigger con than the pro of being able to unlock the drivers' door.

Unless we can change the setting, we'll have to learn to live with it and give the kids a few light slams for locking mom out of the car.

I agree, I am not even sure my prev gen suburban had a lock button on the rear door...But it did have a manual lock lever...guessing the inclusion of the button came from doing away w/ the manual lever.

So theres no switch on the drivers door to turn off the back controls like every other 4 door vehicle?

There is for window controls but not door lock. At least on me base LS.

Yes of course,its only the windows that you turn off.Thank you.

I have had this same question/complaint, but I could not figure it out either.

I typically have 2 kids in the back that like to play with the lock and unlock buttons. I don't think that it makes sense that they can control all of the doors and not just their own.

I was wondering if you turned on the child security locks if that would override it, but I have not tried it yet.

I also could not find a switch like you have for the window controls.

Nope. Its gone. It did exist on models back to 2014.

And this option on the rear door isn’t there?
I think back in the day there isn’t a power lock button on the back doors just windows.

Nope. Gone.

the child door lock switch is on the drivers door switch now, but it only stops the door from being opened from the inside, does nothing to the locking switch it's self.
just pull the door panel off and unplug the switch, put door panel back on if it is of grave concern. later you can just plug it back in.
will take you a few minutes to do.
