When you unlock the doors using the electronic remote the right rear passenger door will open itself without using the handle to manually open it.this is a ford taurus station wagon lx model purchased in 1994. The reason I checked property damage was because a guy at a firestone tire place had the car and it poped open on him as he started the car and didn't know of the problem and the door opened wide as he was taking the car out of the repair shop. The door will also open as you turn the car off and it unlocks all the doors. When the unlock operation happens is when the door will open by itself.
