Description of the problem	My kia soul electronic door locks operate in a random and dangerous fashion. I unlocked the car and put my puppy in the vehicle and closed the door not knowing that my keys were still in the car; all the doors immediately locked and i had to break the window to save the dog. Other times one or two doors will lock. The delay in locking is random and unreliable. Car was in parking lot. This system should be disabled until kia reviews operation of the system. There should be a consistent time delay before doors lock. This is a safety issue.
