stilo - electrical faults?

hi folks, this is my first ever post, i actually drive a clio but my father purchased a 53 plate stilo active two months ago, around two weeks ago late at night when checking all the cars were locked i discovered that both the driver and passenger windows were down half way, asked my father why they were open and he was adamant that he had left the car with the windows up....now today i hear a car horn being blown, so upon going out to the driveway we discovered that my father couldnt get out the car, all the doors had locked up??? it took him giving me the key to open the drivers door manually, anyone ever heard of these problems?

regards

Ally

Hi

Welcome to the forums, you'll find a good group of people here.

I've not heard of these problems before nor have I encountered such problems on my Stilo, but I'm sure someone here will have and will help you as soon as they've read your post.

Cheers.
TC.

I once left my car in a multi-story car park, with all the windows closed. When I returned, several hours later, I could hear an alarm. As I got closer I realised it was my car! There was no sign of the driver's window, but there was no broken glass. It was then I realised the window was just open! [:0]

I am 100% sure it was closed when I left the car and luckily I escaped any foul play.

It has not happened again and I am at a loss to explain it.

I've heard that some Stilo's will unlock their drivers door by itself. If this occurs, its the Drivers Door Node that needs replacing (apparantly).

As for the windows of BOTH front doors opening, hummm. Maybe a body computer fault?
