Valet turning on/off. Keys getting locked in car. Etc...

Has anyone had problems with their valet function? I ALWAYS lock my car when I park it/valet it and on three separate occasions, the valet was either turned off, or half way on; Meaning that the valet screen lock on the infotainment was on, but the radio worked fine and on one of those occasions, the glove compartment unlocked itself.
And yesterday. I had my key in my bag as I always do coming from the pool, I put it in the trunk, then tried to get in the car... it locked me out. Every set of my keys/garage door openers and my wifes keys, were in the car. I had to get a cab, drive home and have a locksmith drill the door.
The trunk is NOT supposed to let the car lock itself... at the very least, you should be able to open the trunk (like I always do), or typically, start the vehicle. As usual, I got it all on video. I even did a test yesterday afternoon to see if I could reproduce it... I put one key in a toaster oven (sealed and new) and the other key was 40+ feet away... everything worked just fine.
Curious if anyone else has bad luck, or if it's still just me being stuck with this vehicle.

What sucks is that anything I do 'officially' by way of an attorney, costs me out of pocket up front. So I have to pay to get a company to replace a defective product. Ignore the fact it's an automobile, any other 'retail outlet' would have replaced my item a long time ago. I keep a camera on me at all times now and it's helped as I've gotten 3 videos documenting things since Saturday. My newest gremlin is the right handed 4-way pad not functioning at all as well as the vehicle not recognizing that there is a second person in the car (by way of the airbag being off AND the graphic on the right hand display showing a green or red person when it shows who has their belt on).
I'm giving them until tomorrow. Then come middle of next week, they'll get a demand letter from my attorney. After that, I'm filing a complaint with the BBB, after that, they are officially being served. I'm really happy about having to do all this - really. :-/

Looks like I'm making headway. Spoke to someone higher up than who I was talking to initially that seems to be honestly trying to take care of this. Jaguar NA keep trying to offer me color combinations I am NOT interested in. It's black/black or white/black... period. I keep getting blue/tan or burgandy/gray.
