Auto locks when starting

[yarrr]

Man, my friend's jetta would do this, and his door locks were these jagged little pieces of crap. If you had your arm on the door when he hit 10, that sucker was taking skin off.. lol

Serious question though, if the car loses power do the doors unlock?? I've never been mugged on the freeway, but I drive by bodies of water quite often.

Once they're locked they stay locked until you hit the switch (or manually unlock them). A sudden loss of power won't unlock them since the lock/unlock motor has to actually be driven to change state.
