THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR STARTED TO UNLOCK AFTER LOCKING THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL HAPPEN EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN REMOTE LOCKING THE CAR. IT SEEMS THE LOCK MECHANISM SLOWING OPENS ON ITS OWN. I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT THE DOOR, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LATCH OR HANDLES. I HAVE READ ON LINE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING ANY OWNERSHIP OF THIS FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE THIS DOES HAPPEN TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE REAR DOOR WHERE I HAVE MY 3 YEAR'S OLD CHILD SEAT. *TR

REAR LOCK INITIALLY NOT WORKING AND ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $250. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER ALL DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AS FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK FRONT DOOR ELECTRICALLY, WITH KEY OR BY MANUALLY PUSHING LOCK. ALL DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING BUT REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK MAKING LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. FRONT AND SECOND REAR DOOR ACTUATORS NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AT SAME COST. SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY $750 TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY RIDE IN CAR WITH DOORS LOCKED OR LOCK CAR WHEN UNATTENDED. I AM SURE THE FOURTH LOCK WILL GO SOON AT THIS RATE. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY AND THERE WAS NOW WAY TO STOP THE REPEATED LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED ME NOT TO PAY THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR / *TR
