Warning..You can lock both FOBs in car with engine running
Pre story setup.
1. Saturday afternoon,
2. country vic. 35min from nearest town
3. Cold about 4 degrees
4. no home phone
Just a heads up.
On the weekend we had some bad luck. Sure it could of been prevented but shit happens.
I put my FOB in the car (in the groove near the shifter) and started car to warm up for 10 min (also stuck my mobile phone in the door)
Went out to car with wife and 2 year old daughter, She loaded kids bags and also her handbag (with her mobile in it) and back of the car and shut door.
My Daughter walking behind her spun around and pressed the lock door button on the drivers door.
BOOM.
Now there is no way in.
after around 35 min of calling around (using iPad to connect to mobiles locked in the car). Decided to smash rear passenger window and unlock back door to get FOBs.
Possibly a bad design as you should not be able to lock the door from the outside with the FOBs inside the car ?
I know you cannot shut the boot with FOBs in the boot.
Ahh well getting fixed this Friday for $580
Outcomes:
1. removed key from FOB and now keeping in house
1.1 might even get a spare cut and sticks it back in FOB
2. daughter always get buckled into car first
2.1 told off to never press button again
3. Chrysler AU are FN useless
4. RACV are FN useless
5. full size window is cheaper to break than the smaller ones.
6. Windows are about $75 USD.. $680 here from Chrysler (nice mark up)
