WHEN I USE KEYLESS ENTRY OR KEY ENTRY, I HAVE ABOUT 3 SECONDS BEFORE ALL LOCKS IN THE VEHICLE LOCK BACK UP. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR, THIS ALSO HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GET IN MY CAR OR GET OUT OF MY CAR. I TRIED RE-PROGRAMMING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND THIS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD MY KEYS LOCKED IN MY CAR AND HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY TO COME UNLOCK THE CAR FOR ME. FINALLY AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF THIS HAPPENING, I GOT INTO MY CAR ON 08/14/2013 USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND ONCE MY LOCKS LOCKED UP AND I TRIED TO START MY CAR, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN (LIGHTS, LOCKS, HORN, IGNITION, CAR ENGINE.) I HAD TO USE THE MANUAL RESTART LOCATED ON MY DASH BOARD TO GET THE CAR TO START BACK UP. THIS ALL SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

AROUND TIME INDICATED, DOORS STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES AS SOON AS SPEED REACHED 10-15 MPH. IT WAS THE MECHANIC FROM DEALERSHIP WHO FIRST PAID ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM WHILE ON A TEST DRIVE FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS THE ONE THAT GIVES THE MOST TROUBLE. IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF WITH LOUD NOISE AND RATTLING. OTHER LOCKS CONTINUE TO ACT CHAOTICALLY BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE QUIET. TODAY, I COULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK DOOR WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR. *TR

THE CAR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY 2-5 SECONDS AFTER IT IS PUT INTO GEAR. LATELY, THE LOCKS HAVE BEGUN TO UNLOCK AND RELOCK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION, I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR, EITHER MANUALLY, WITH THE KEY FAB OR WITH THE LOCK BUTTON. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO OPEN THE LOCK LEVER AND THE OTHER TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. I HAVE ALSO LOCKED MY CAR, WENT INTO A STORE, AND COME BACK TO THE DOORS BEING UNLOCKED. VERY UNSAFE. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIR. BESIDES A CHILD BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, I AM VERY VULNERABLE TO SOMEONE ENTERING INTO MY CAR AND WAITING FOR ME. I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT IS THE FIRST THEY HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN THAT BE? *TR
