BEGAN HAVING CHRONIC ISSUE WITH REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS. DOOR CANNOT BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND IF I ATTEMPT TO LOCK WITH KEY REMOTE IT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKS. I TRIED TO SEE IF KEEPING THE CHILD LOCK ON WOULD AT LEAST HELP KEEP IT LOCKED BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING EVERY TIME I AM IN MOTION BUT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY IF TRANSPORTING SMALL CHILDREN BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT STAY LOCKED AT ALL. IT IS ALSO UNSAFE TO KEEP ANY BELONGINGS IN THE CAR OVERNIGHT SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

TRIED TO LOCK MANUALLY, BUT KEY DOES NOT WORK, AFRAID TO FORCE IT AND HAVE IT BREAK IN THE LOCK. SAFETY ISSUE AND AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE (UNABLE TO SECURE PROPERTY).

THE RECENT RECALL FOR 2012 HONDAS AND ACURAS FOR DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCKS!! IF USING SAME VENDOR - SAME PROBLEM - AND WHY ONLY 2012 IF OLDER CARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS?
