Friend with 2019 Subaru says hers is the same. My previous ride ( Flex ) I am pretty sure if either front door was opened, all the doors would unlock, even if trans. was in D.

Do all the doors unlock when you unlock the driver's side door using intelligent access (the sensor in the handle)? There is a two-stage locking mode that I believe only applies to the driver's door, but your system may have gotten confused. I would try changing between "all door unlock" to "driver door only" modes to see if you can "unconfuse" it. If all the doors unlock when you unlock the driver's door but not the passenger door then something is wrong with your system.

From the manual:

To change between driver door or all door unlock mode, with the ignition off, press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control for three seconds to change between driver door or all door unlock mode.The direction indicators flash twice to indicate a change to the unlocking mode. Driver door mode only unlocks the driver door when you press the unlock button once. All door mode unlocks all doors when you press the unlock button once. The unlocking mode applies to the remote control, keyless entry keypad and intelligent access.

do you have any issues with the auto start/stop working when stopped at a red light.? I tested the battery and it will only work at 12.84 v, anything lower and it doesn't work.

No you can't. If vehicle is locked, only the front doors have the sensors and will unlock all the doors if your vehicle is set up that way. If vehicle is locked, you can grab the back doors all you want, it won't unlock.

Auto start/stop works fine.
