FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THE REAR DRIVER'S-SIDE DOOR CONTINUALLY UNLOCKS, EVEN DESPITE THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE. WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK, I AM UNABLE TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY WITH AN UNLOCKED DOOR WHILE DRIVING, OR EVEN WHILE PARKED. ALSO, OUR BELONGINGS ARE AT RISK OF THEFT BECAUSE THAT DOOR IS CONSTANTLY UNLOCKED, EVEN WHEN LOCKED BY HAND. DESPITE OUR EFFORTS, THE DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE LOCK IT. *TR

FIRST ISSUE WAS RELATED TO FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR LOCK. THE LOCK CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, THE REAR PASSENGER LOCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHEN I WENT ABOVE OR BELOW 10 MILES PER HOUR. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE DOOR ACTUATOR AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE NOT DONE THAT TO DATE BECAUSE I VIEWED IT AS MORE NUISANCE THAN SAFETY RELATED. AFTER REVIEWING SOME ONLINE INFORMATION I REALIZED MY FIRST ASSUMPTION MAY BE INCORRECT. I CALLED HONDA NATIONAL TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD ON THIS ISSUE AND POSSIBLE REMEDIES. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS ONLY A THREE YEAR WINDOW FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES; HOWEVER, SINCE THE CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD, I WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. *TR

BUT IT STILL DOES THIS WHEN I LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY. AT TIMES IT ALSO LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHEN I AM DRIVING. SINCE MY INSPECTION WAS DUE SHORTLY I WAITED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THEY QUOTED ME APPROX $350.00 TO REPAIR. SINCE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THAT TIME I ASK IF IT WOULD HURT TO LEAVE AS IS FOR AWHILE, THEY ADVISED ME NO, BUT AT SOME POINT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK ON UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW ALL THE PROBLEMS EVERYONE WAS HAVING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I CONFRONTED THE DEALER AND HE SAID IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND I ASK HIM WHEN HONDA WAS GOING TO HAVE A RECALL. HE SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, SO MOST LIKELY THERE WILL BE NO RECALL. I HAVE 38, 000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND DO ALL THE MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED.
