1. it unlocks the car if i PULL the drivers door handle and

It only works on the drivers door handle and the trunk. Anybody encountered a similar issue?
If what you wrote in your quote above is correct…your CA door handles may be working correctly.

See the diagram that was previously posted above about the CA door handles…and also check your owners manual for correct usage for your model (in case its different).



There are 2 capacitive sensors…the ridges (#2) on the handle is were sensor (#6) LOCKS the car. There’s a sensor on the handle (#4) where you pull to UNLOCK…you shouldn’t have to actually pull…but your hand needs to touch the sensor in a specific area…you can’t just touch the handle anywhere.

EDIT:

Example from my f06 owners manual as where to touch the door handle for CA lock/unlock:
