    Automatic door locks will unlock on their own. This occurs when car is parked (so anyone can open the car and steal it or anything in the car) and while driving (which means even if you have locked the doors a passenger can open the door while the car is moving). *js

    On or about may 1st, 2013, i noticed that the driver side's passenger door lock was making odd noises even when the engine was off. Shortly after, i noticed that when i would lock the car doors, the lock on the aforementioned door would open by itself. I took the car to two dealers and i was told that it would cost me at least $400 to fix the problem. I took the car to a mechanic and he fixed the lock; however, the…

    The left rear door does not lock when using the fob or when in the car. All other doors lock, the back door tries to lock, and then automatically unlocks. When accelerating from a stopped position, the door will try to lock, but then unlocks. After seeing all of the posts related to this problem, i think honda should step up to resolve this. *tr

    I have been having issues with the door lock actuator for the last 2 years, i have had them replaced, and now they are being replaced again. I can not lock them on the inside, and leaves my car open to anyone. I don't feel it is a safe. The dealership knows it is an issue yet they charge an arm & a leg to fix them. Ridiculous!!! *tr

    Began having chronic issue with rear passenger door locks. Door cannot be manually locked and if i attempt to lock with key remote it immediately unlocks. I tried to see if keeping the child lock on would at least help keep it locked but it does not work. The car is constantly locking and unlocking every time i am in motion but immediately unlocks. This is very unsafe especially if transporting small children…

    While driving my honda cr-v 2007 the locks would unlock and lock on their own. Anytime i slow down and come to a stop the passenger side door unlocks. It will also never lock when i leave the car. I also remember months earlier that the dome light flickered when we had the doors open and putting stuff in the car. I didn't notice it for awhile and figured it was ok since it didn't happen anymore. *tr

    After unlocking the door the door then locks itself. This happens both when you unlock manually or unlock using the fob. Very dangerous as it locks you in the car and will not unlock. *tr

    It started with the rear passenger door lock unlocking and locking itself. Now the other door locks are doing the same thing. As i am driving they are always unlocking and locking. I am scared my son will lean on the door handle while driving and the door will open. The car only has 43317 miles on it. *tr

    The rear door lock fails to lock. The rear door lock will not lock when using the key fob. The door can be opened while the car is traveling. The door tries to lock after every stop once the car is going again but still will not lock. Significant safety problem as a child can open the door while it is moving. *tr

    Driver's side rear door lock moves itself into unlock position either immediately after locking, or within a few minutes of driving. The actuator will lock, but there is clearly a spring force that gradually unlocks the door during driving, or even when stationary in a parking lot. I first noticed the problem as the doors would continually try to lock in stop and go traffic. Eventually, i found which door, when i…

    The power door locks are malfunctioning. When unlocking the car to either enter or exit the vehicle, the car locks again automatically in less than a second. This occurs when using the remote to unlock the car as well as when unlocking the car from any door both outside and inside manually. In addition to this malfunction being a major inconvenience with nearly having locked myself out of the car numerous times…

    Driver side lock and trunk lock initially about a month ago would not lock manually or remotely. Then two days ago, the car would not unlock at all. Had to have the car unlocked by a company. Now only the passenger and two rear doors work. I have to crawl in from the passenger side to get in the car. *tr

    The locks on my car's doors automatically re-lock within a second of trying to unlock them. When the engine is running, and i am in park, i cannot manually unlock the doors at all. I am very nervous that i may end up getting locked in my car without the ability to exit; this could be especially hazardous in an accident or another emergency. *tr

    When using the key to unlock the doors, they relocked automatically in less than one second. This was initially occurring sporadically, but within a week progressed to constantly. Even unlocking manually from inside the vehicle, it relocked on its own before i was able to open the door. This has become a safety issue, as i use my vehicle mostly as transportation for my young children. The first time it kept locking…

    Door locks began to lock and unlock by themselves repeatedly as i drove, unlocking @ around 9 mph no matter how many times i relocked. If i relocked them they would open at an intersection stop (very unsafe also!), or just open & close while i was driving - all kinds of noisy door-locking & unlocking. I was unable to keep the rear door locked at all when i stopped the car, leaving it unlocked at night or if i left…
