Wierd door locks on Infiniti FX35 (2004)

I have FX35 (with just touring package) and bought it in Sep 2004. I noticed a problem (which I am not sure if it is only in my vehicle or all FX35s), with the door locks, which I never paid that close an attention as I thought there may be something which I am missing. But in the last servicing (done a week earlier), when I mentioned the problem to service dept at the dealer, they seem to feel the same as I did.

The problem is, when I lock all the doors sitting in either driver/front passenger seat, I am still able to open the doors from all the seats (front and back)while driving. After being conscious about this, now I am little bit scared of any accidental holding of the door opening lever which might lead to unwanted circumstances.

Dealer came back and claimed that all FX35 which dont have Tech Package on them, they are behaving the same way as my car does.. I am surprised to find that any where in the internet I didnt find a single note where someone had a same problem.
can someone respond if they had seen any such problem in their car (without tech package)?
If not, what is the best thing I could do?
I was planning to call Infiniti consumer affairs and report this?
What is the best way to deal this?
Appreciate the feedback.

Are there child locks on the back door? If not think of it this way the way most Fords are. In the event of an accident and you lose all electrical power you can still get out. If the door lhandles are disabled when the vehicle is in gear and something like that happans then you would be in trouble trying to get out.
