In our 2007 CRV the passenger front and rear door locks lock automatically right after using the fob or power lock control. I have to stand right at the door handle to grab it the moment I click the unlock button to be able to open the door. Our safety is jeopardized by the lock malfunction because if I don’t have the key in hand I cannot open the passenger side doors and if you have kids this is a big concern. This happens every time we use the vehicle which is daily. We have not taken it to a dealership at this time. This specific problem has not been inspected. This problem just began several months ago and has occurred everyday since.

The passenger side door does not keep locked. A mechanic told me that this is because of faulty door actuator. Honda will not entertain to fix this 2- The Engine timing belt side has a mysterious oil leak. Honda doesnt entertain a fix either.
