Vehicle unlocks if you approach it, all doors unlock without using the keyfob or putting your hand into the drivers or front passengers door handle. This happens with both keyfobs. Fresh batteries are in both keyfobs.

My battery keeps running down, even after I had it replaced by aaa. Took it to kingsport honda and had it checked out. They said it was the driver side door handle that was drawing down the battery. They already knew what the problem was, but to make sure they put a meter on it. The handel has gotten so hot it has visibaly damaged the inside door panel. They only want 795.00 to replace the handle. Sounds like a manufacturing problem. This is very unsafe

After using the button on the door handle to lock the door, the door unlocks on its own. The handle sensor stays activated until the battery drains.

My vehicle has had multiple parasitic battery events where the battery has been completely drained overnight. I have replaced the battery six times since May of 2022. I took my vehicle to my auto repair shop and they checked every fuse in the vehicle and could not find the problem. The shop called the Honda Dealer service center to get advice on what the problem might be and the dealer was unable to provide any recommended solution. I suspect the problem has something to do with a faulty automatic door lock/unlock system. When I approach the vehicle with my key fob, the vehicle will unlock the doors without me touching the door handle. When I get out of the car and push the button on the door handle to lock the doors it does lock, however as I walk away from the car, the doors unlock without me touching the door handle or any part of the car.

Three times the vehicle would not start while at Walmart parking lot since over February 2020. I push the button to start and it wont start. The air condition/heater does not work since winter of 2021/2022. The electrical system has gone haywire twice. The lights on dashboard flash and the numbers roll all over since 2021. The door locks are not wanting to lock now for the past 12 months. while I was inside the car the door would not unlock The engine seems to stall for the past 8 months. It feels like it is not getting gas. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer three times for the air with no positive results yet.

Door lock actuator for the passenger side rear door binds which makes it difficult to manually unlock the door from the inside. This is an ongoing problem. It was reported to scott robinson honda in on 8/15/15 and again on 3/4/2016. They refused to acknowledge the problem claiming they could not duplicate it.
