Doors won't lock, open or latch by model year

When driving vehicle in city and highway the door locks keep locking and unlocking. Electronic key lock only locks and unlocks the the passenger side and not the driver side. Vehicle is in motion.

I was unable to open the rear passenger side door, even after unlocking the door. This could be an extreme safety hazard in the event of a crash, should emergency responders need to gain immediate access to the car and a passenger was unresponsive. The power door lock actuator failed, which causes the door lock to stay engaged even after unlocking the car using the remote fob and using the power lock button on the door. The only way to unlock the door is to manually flip the interior door lock switch. This is the second power door lock actuator to fail, and my car has less than 93,000 miles on it. The power door locks should last the life of the car, and doors that stay locked are an extreme safety hazard. Honda charges $298, per actuator, making complete repair close to $1,200. My guess is most people would choose to live with the issue rather than pay the high repair cost, but they don't think about what could happen if they are unresponsive, the car is in flames, and the doors won't open from the outside. I spoke with honda corporate about the issue, and they provided no response. They just said "we document your call." very frustrating.

Door lock actuators have stopped locking and unlocking the doors on three of the fours doors of the car. I have to manually lock and unlock the drivers door with the key in order to lock it. The two rear passenger doors do not unlock via the interior unlock button on the driver side and must be manually unlocked and locked by flipping the door lock itself on each door. This is ridiculous for a car that is only 7 years old .. To have all three door affected is faulty equipment and not incorrect use. This has been happening for about 5 months but we initially thought it was the battery in the electronic keys. After replacing it and the problems continuing the car was brought in for diagnostics and we were told the 3 actuators needed to be replaced.

Every time you press accelerator after a stop, the power door locks click and will keep locking/unlocking the doors while driving. This could be dangerous with kids in the car. Plus it is very annoying while driving. Just purchased this vehicle one day ago. I have read where many honda accord owners are experiencing the same problem.

Driving approximately-15 MPH on a local round-about and the engine appeared to stop running. I coasted to an intersection and stopped along the road. Engine turned over initially then only buzzing sound. Shifter locked in park after stopping. Door locks and windows were functional as well as the fan motor. Limited lights on the panel, tire pressure system, and red passenger seat icons were lighted. I would consider this a dangerous occurrence. Fortunately I was not in a bad location for stopping.
