Default 2011 Sante Fe Automatic Door Unlock

All four door open when the SUV is put in park, which I consider a safety issue. How can that be changed? What are the possible options? I'd accept only the driver's door opening when placed in park but I'd prefer only the driver's door opening when the SUV is turned off or when the key is removed from the ignition.

REALLY?! All 4 doors fly open when you put the car in park. Like wide open? WOW! That sounds like a problem.

Wait, do you mean all 4 doors UNLOCK? That's different. How is that a "safety issue"?

Let me clarify my inquiry. The doors UNLOCK when my Santa Fe is put in park. The safety issue is a personal safety issue. Anyone outside of the Santa Fe when it is put in park and all 4 doors unlock can open any of the doors and enter the vehicle UNINVITED. THAT is a personal safety issue!

Then maybe you should stop driving around areas where there are people that would jump in your car if the doors are unlocked.
