All doors suddenly closing

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Last night in our driveway I opened both front doors, and both falcon wing doors. My wife, son and I got out, son was clear of the passenger falcon wing, but the passenger door, and drivers side falcon wing started closing. I was hit in the head pretty hard: headache and stiff neck.
Anyone else had this issue??

Where are your fobs? A fob can accidentally be pushed to lock/close doors from time to time. You can go to the screen and re-configure how to lock with a fob: instead of 1 push, change it to 3 pushes.

I found that putting the fob in my pocket with the top of the fob facing out, that I could accidently bump the top button and close the doors on myself even after changing the setting to 3 pushes. I have since been inserting the fob in my pocket with the top of the fob against my leg which has prevented further accidental closings.

Get a Fob guard, absolute requirement. Tons on Amazon.
I’m curious what type you are recommending. We had a number of inadvertent fob pushes early in our MX ownership and I never found any covers that provided the needed rigidity to prevent accidental actuations. I made myself an inelegant custom-fit cardboard box for my fob that has worked well. But would like to know real world solutions by others.
