The car's auto-lock system has been designed to automatically lock the car doors when driving. However, one of the doors started to automatically unlock itself. So, whenever the car is stationary (i.e. Stopped at a red light or stop sign) and then goes into drive, the car would automatically lock but then the one door will unlock. Even when the car has been parked and turned off, the door will not stay locked…

The door lock for the back door of our vehicle keeps slowly unlocking after we attempt to lock the doors. This happens when we use the fob or when we attempt to lock the doors manually. This is a safety issue and i understand there is a class action suit (or suits) against honda for this. *tr

All doors are locking automatically immediately after they have been unlocked. On occasion, after locking, the doors will not unlock nor allow manual override of the front driver's side door to unlock it - the driver has had to crawl through the car to locate a door that could be unlocked manually in order to exit the vehicle. *tr

Drivers side door lock issues - unable to lock the drivers side door using all available methods, i.e. Electric door lock, inside manual door lock or outside key lock. Significantly, when door lock issues occur it poses a safety risk to the operator and passengers in the vehicle since the door locking and unlocking features fail to operate correctly. In my particular case the door did not lock at any time, whether…

The passenger door locks and unlocks itself. It tries to re-lock and then opens. It continues to do this repeatedly. I cannot lock the passenger door. The problem appears to be with the actuator. The rear hatchback door also will not unlock when it is hot (over 80 degrees). I can't lock the doors on the vehicle. *tr

The locks on my cr-v do not function properly. If i unlock the doors, either from the car door or remotely, they instantly relock. This happens when the car is on or off, even in drive. The driver's side door cannot be unlocked manually. I see this is a huge problem with this car. Extremely frustrating--and expensive to repair! It is also dangerous, and makes me nervous to travel with my children because i don't…

Door locks are defective. Have been self locking and unlocking every 2 minutes while driving. Additionally i have a child in the back seat who's door is now uncontrollably unlocking. This is a definite safety issue. I called my honda dealer and american honda headquarters and they will not acknowledge any defect issue even though there is now a class action suit and thousands of owners with the same issue. *tr

Locks started locking within a second of being unlocked. So i could unlock the doors with the key button and pull quickly to open the door to get in. The locks would engage as soon as i got in. However, if i tried to manually unlock the door from inside, i would have to use two hands, and it was difficult. Once the doors closed the locks would immediately engage. As it turns out i locked my purse and keys inside. My…

After coming to a stop or slowing down to below 10mph, all locks in the car will attempt to lock again when the vehicle speed gets above 10mph. The door will not always stay locked after the engine has been turned off and the locks activated. This happens about every other time the…
