DOORS LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING WHETHER USING KEY FOB, DOOR LOCK ON DOOR, OR WHEN THE DOORS SELF UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK. THE DOOR UNLOCKS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO BUT IMMEDIATELY RELOCKS ALL DOORS. PASSENGER UNLOCKS THEIR DOOR AND IF THEY DON'T CATCH THE LATCH TO OPEN THE DOOR QUICKLY, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK. I CAN'T TAKE MY CAR TO THE CARWASH IN FEAR THAT SOMEONE WILL LOCK MY KEYS INSIDE. KEYS IN IGNITION, ENGINE ON AND I GET OUT TO CLOSE MY GATE, THE DOORS RELOCK. IF I DIDN'T HEAR IT LOCK AND SHUT MY DOOR, MY CAR WOULD BE RUNNING IN PARK WITH DOORS LOCKED. THINK IF I HAD MY GRAND CHILDREN INSIDE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND I CAN'T GET INSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING REGULARLY AROUND JANUARY 2016 PAST THE RECALL. TO FIX THIS MYSELF WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.

I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SUDDENLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. AT THAT MOMENT I NOTICED THAT THE METAL PART OF THE IGNITION KEY HAD SEPARATED FROM THE PLASTIC KEY FOB, AND THE PLASTIC PART, WITH THE REST OF MY KEYS ATTACHED, HAD DROPPED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATION, I SAW THAT THE SMALL SCREW THAT HOLDS THE PLASTIC AND METAL PARTS TOGETHER HAD PULLED THROUGH THE THIN SLIP OF PLASTIC TO WHICH IT WAS ATTACHED. THE ENGINE APPARENTLY TURNS OFF IF THE KEY FOB IS NOT IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE IGNITION. THIS MECHANISM PRESUMABLY HAS ANTI-THEFT FUNCTIONS, WHILE ALSO PREVENTING ANYONE BUT HONDA FROM SELLING REPLICATE KEYS. IN THIS CASE IT HAD THE WHOLLY UNDESIRED EFFECT OF SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE OF A CAR IN MOTION. IN ORDER TO RE-START THE CAR, THE PARTS HAD TO BE PRECARIOUSLY JAMMED BACK TOGETHER, AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE FEAR THAT THEY WOULD AGAIN RE-SEPARATE AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR, BUT UNDER THIS APPARENTLY UNANTICIPATED FAILURE MODE, IF THE KEY FOB EXPERIENCES A SUDDEN STRUCTURAL FAILURE, THE ENGINE DOES TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS SITUATION REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE RISK THAT THE CAR WILL ABRUPTLY LOSE BOTH ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, OR IN TRAFFIC, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. IT SEEMS REASONABLE FOR THE KEY FOB TO BE REQUIRED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT ONCE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, LOSS OF THE SIGNAL FROM THE FOB SHOULD NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON 8/21/14. AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN DRIVE, THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE CAR STARTED MOVING, AS THEY NORMALLY DO. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER I HAD TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN THE CAR STARTED MOVING, THE REAR DOOR LOCKS CYCLED AGAIN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR WOULD START TO MOVE AGAIN FROM A STOP. I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND EXITED THE CAR, LOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE HONDA REMOTE. A SECOND AFTER THE DOORS LOCKED, I HEARD A FAINT CLICK FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AS IF SOMEONE HAD OPERATED THE LOCK BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE. I CHECKED THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE REAR DOOR OPENED. I CHECKED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND IT WAS STILL LOCKED. I HIT THE DOOR LOCKS AGAIN WITH THE KEY REMOTE AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS PHYSICALLY LOCKED. WHEN I CAME OUT IN THE MORNING, I CHECKED THE DOOR, AND FOUND IT UNLOCKED. I CHECKED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND IT WAS STILL LOCKED. THIS STARTED AS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT IS NOW APPROACHING ALMOST A CONTINUOUS EVENT. I CAN'T HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE I CAN'T BE SURE THE DOORS WILL STAY CLOSED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AND I FEAR THAT THE CAR IS NOW EXPOSED TO THEFT BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO ACCESS REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER DOORS, OR THE ALARM. THIS IS NOW AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND MY SECURITY. PLEASE HAVE HONDA FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR
