Broken. Fix it--it's under warranty. BUT: step one should always be,
look in the owner's manual. It gives complete and exhaustive
information on how the locking system is supposed to behave. Make sure
you aren't doing something wrong. My guess is you've never even cracked
the owner's manual. Do you even know where it is?

See above. On my Honda van, the interior lights go out after 3 or so
minutes. That's a FEATURE, not a problem; it's outlined in that owner's
manual you seem to want to avoid.

See above. You know that owner's manual? It's pretty clear on all of
this stuff. Let me ask you: why is she clicking on the remote a second
time? There's no need; the first click locks the car. The
only--ONLY--reason for clicking a second time is to get the horn to beep
for confirmation that the doors are locked and the alarm system is
active. The second click does nothing more. If she simply wants the
car to lock silently, she should click the remote once. If she doesn't
want the horn to beep, she shouldn't click it as second time at all.

What does she *think* she's getting with that second click?

What does the owner's manual say?

I sound like your mother here, a broken record.

How did you find out about that "programming for everything"?
