Description of the problem	Car automatically locked my young child in the car. I used the fob to unlock the car. Then i opened the back door to put my child in his carseat and placed my keys on the driver seat to have access to both my hands for the tasks. Once my child was strapped in i shut the back right door to go get in the driver front door. As soon as i shut the back door i heard a beep and all the doors locked down, locking my child inside with the keys. As it was a hot day in my town, i immediately called the police, who had to come and jammed the the door so i could get out my son. We have since changed the keys in the fob and on 9/25/2016 while seated in the car it again locked itself before i was able to put the keys in the ignition
