I DID THIS IN MY LAST CAR (GM-YUKON) SO I RE-ENACTED TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN IN MY NEW CAR (SRX): I USE MY KEY FOB TO OPEN ONLY THE HATCH-BACK WHEN WALKING UP TO LOCKED CAR. I LAY MY PURSE (WITH KEY-FOB AND CELL PHONE IN IT) IN THE BACK WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES, ETC., AND THEN CLOSE THE HATCH. I AM LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR DOESN'T CHIRP TO LET ME KNOW THE KEY-FOB IS THE CAR AFTER CLOSING AS IT DOES WHEN I CLOSE THE DOORS UP FRONT WHILE UNLOCKED. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY COMPLAINT BECAUSE I COULD BE LOCKED OUT AT NIGHT IN A PARKING LOT WITHOUT A PHONE OR MONEY FOR A PAY PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. I ALSO THINK THAT KEY-FOBS SHOULD HAVE A HOLE IN THE CAR TO PLUG IT INTO. WOMEN TEND TO KEEP KEYS IN PURSE, NOT ON THEIR BODY.
