 Volkswagen Jetta - 07 - Self unlocking, and self opening windows - Stuartli
...but perhaps a quicker response here...:-) {it helps to give the subject header an appropriate title as well - also moved to Technical as that's what that particular part of the forum is for}

Every so often, for no apparent reason, my 2007 Jetta Sports decides to unlock itself.

Usually it's just the boot lid, but on one or two occasions it's also opened all the windows. This happened overnight and, of course, after several fine days, due to Sod's Law, it had been raining...:-(

The Jetta was last used on Tuesday afternoon and was fully secure when I retired just before midnight, so have no clue what causes the self-unlocking. There are, of course, plenty of cars parked in the street and neighbouring driveways, but there are no other VW models, so that presumably rules out other owners' use of remote controls.

I did research the problem via Google a kittle while back, but only found a couple of references to VW cars owned and used in the States (my Jetta is manufactured in Mexico). The local VW dealership's service desk is too busy at present to accept calls so I'm trying again later. In any case they have never come across such a problem before.
