Few months ago my car locks started to lock, unlock, lock, unlock, etc every time when my driving speed passed 10 MPH. Then I noticed that my driver side rear door was unlocking in few seconds after I locked my car doors. Last night my car locked itself (except driver side read door). This is definitely a safety issue for a single woman. Very unsafe to park in public places when you cannot lock the car doors. Today I am at honda and waiting for the final bill for their repair. I told them that there are thousands of complaint of this issue, but the service technicians is not aware (???).

On thanksgiving night 2012, I went shopping and got back to my parents house around 11:00pm. I had gifts and food in the car and the power door locks locked on me automatically with me in it. I finally was able to open the passage door and got out. The car door locked again and I was not able to get into the car either by using the keyless entry nor by manually trying to unlock it with the key in the door lock. I had to let the food stay in the car over night as well as the other things I had purchased. I am so glad I did not have my niece with me. The next day, I had to spend $60.00 to get a locksmith to open the door. About 6 months later the automatic door locks that locks when you put the car in drive, keeps locking every time a make a stop and pull off again. This is driving me crazy too. This is truly a safety issue. I can only imagine if I had a child in the car, what would have happen. The local news featured a news story with a woman who is having the same problem with her honda crv about 3 months ago. This is a real problem that the honda manufacture needs to address either thru recall or extended warranty. Enough is enough.

I have had 5 door actuators changed on my car - all doors and one door was twice. I have a 6th one out but I have not gotten it fixed. The dealership told me that "sometimes things happen". I tried to talk with honda, they did pay for most of them repairs but refused to admit it was a problem. The dealership never could tell me why it was happening, just kept replacing the actuators. I got tired of fighting with them, that is why the last one has not been replaced. This is my first and last honda. I was extremely disappointed with my service from honda. We bought the car brand new off the lot and it started within a year and a half of purchase.

Both rear doors on my 2008 honda accord have defective doo handles on the inside. I can only open the doors from the outside. The first one quit working around mid august 2010, and the other about three weeks after that. I am concerned that if there were a fire after an accident that someone in the bsack seat would not be able to exit the vehicle.
