Default C Class Central Locking Fault

Can anyone tell me why the central locking pops open on my C180K Avantgarde SE Auto (first registered in the UK in May 2004). It does it when I go around a right hand bend or roundabout. I had the same problem on the C180K demonstrator I drove for a week before I bought this one and my previous car which was a Apr 2002 C220 CDi. Why does it do this and what is the cure?

can it be the crash sensor being activated? it is very sensitive to bumps and as a safety feature, it will unlock all doors during accident. you got modified hard shock absorbers?
crash sensor is located inside the central locking pump as a unit.

tip: if you have left your key inside and the engine is running, slam the rear right seat area with a shocking blow. this will unlock the door.
