Hello All,
Has anyone else experienced something that sounds like the child safety locks going off or on while driving? I cannot seem to replicate it. This happens at random times while driving. It used to be only on the right rear door area, but now it's also on the left. I have turned off all automatic locking but it still happens.

I also noticed that the back of my electronic seat moves forward sometimes (non-memory seats). I know it is not from bumping it. Anyone else have this. I have a 2011 TDI V6. Love the car but not the mystery

Solution to child lock issue

Wanted to post my update to this issue. The noise was the child safety going on and off rapidly at random times. The dealership was finally able to replicate the issue while driving, and was able to capture the fault code. The rear door control modules were faulty. I'm happy I was persistent to have it fixed before the warranty ran out. The cost would have been $600.

Yes, thanks for the update.

I have been experiencing what sounds like the right rear door locking at times recently.

I have the same issue from the ear passenger side door. Haven't been able to replicate it while at the dealer.
Of course, they told me it was my child seat making noises.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I think I'm having this same issue on my 2011. I hear the child lock noise randomly. It doesn't go off rapidly like the OP though, just once every hour or so. I've taken it in a couple of times already and this last time they changed the door locks. Unfortunately, that did not help the issue.

The problem is my warranty ran out since the last visit where they replaced the locks. Will the repair fall under the warranty since it's the same issue?

I would hope so but only your dealer can tell you for sure. Mine was discovered after the warranty expired. I don't need the lock nanny so I just keep them turned off.
