The problem is with the front driver side door. The locking mechanism is not working properly. The automatic door latch, which is activated after driving about 20 feet. It creates the horn to honk and some problems with opening the door with key fob. Must open manually by inserting key into the door from the outside.

Key fob or push-button start problems by model year
What owners say
Drivers door lock sticks and sometimes does not unlock and can't even unlock manually. They drivers side back door is permanently stuck closed, can't unlock manually or with the key fob. Back hatch is permanently locked can't open at all because there is no way to unlock manually. This happens weather the car is in motion or stationary. I feel this is a safety hazard because in the event of an accident how am I to get my children out of the car safely and quickly. Just run all the way around the car until a door opens? What about my dog that I usually have in the back, how do I get him out? What if the car is on fire or if the car is flipped on the side with the working locks? It's crazy to me so many people are having problems with this in my vehicle year yet they left us out of the settlement to replace the locks.
The first occurrence involved the right front door lock and the tailgate lock. When attempting to lock the doors with either the key fob or the interior button lock,neither door would lock. After operating the car and stopping ,the doors would mysteriously lock then.
The vehicle will lock itself while sitting in the garage or elsewhere. It has happened quite often but this particular time I unlocked it with the key fob and walked to the mailbox (about 60 ft) and back and it was locked. It has done this sitting in the driveway, too. I have not noticed it unlocking by itself but that would really concern me. It locks all doors normally when I first pick up speed. It has always been garaged since new.
For the past month or so my car doors will not all unlock with the key fobs. The rear door and trunk will not always open. Additionally, when driving slow or making slow turns, the door locks will lock and or unlock as I am driving. Will be going to the dealer and hopefully have them fix this. This is a very dangerous problem, especially if one has small children.
