And then when i would accelerate the doors would lock and the interior lights would go off. This all…

Locking actuator does not engaged. When trying to lock the door manually the actuator will automatic unlock the doors. This is a safety issue. After some research this is an ongoing issue with honda, and honda will not see this as a safety issue. *tr

Driver side door does not lock at all. Front passenger door locks immediately after pressing unlock. All doors lock and unlock while driving. It started about a year and a half ago and was worse in warm weather. Now, it's just bad all the time. It's a safety issue if i can't lock the car even with the key in the driver's door. My wife and i are the original owners. *js

As soon as you would unlock the automatic doors locks - the front driver door, it would quickly lock back up, you had to force it to unlock once it locked on its own, you can use the clicker or the unlock button, but you had to be very quick to be able to unlock it - you had to have your one hand on the door handle and the other hand on the unlock button - or else you can't get out that door. Once you get to speeds…

I came back to the car with the remote to unlock the doors. I got some of the groceries out and was carrying them up stairs, when i heard the door lock sound. When i came back to the car for the rest of the groceries, the…

The door actuator went out first on my passenger front door and automatically locks now every time i stop the actuators cycles on all 4 doors and tries to relock. This is very annoying and also i like to add please don't waste your money on the black chrome rims mine are peeling solid chrome is not supposed to peel so that was $3000 wasted. *tr
