![]() I addressed the vehicle deciding to lock itself. I would attribute this issue to a poor door switch design and poor installation practices together.Ĭlick to expand.I never discussed locking the vehicle-that always worked without issue. Its odd that only partially depressing the switch is enough to make the dome light go off but not enough to tell the security system that you have opened the door after unlocking it and then closed it again. In my case the 2 door switches were simply incompletely installed or got loose as the screws were only partially tightened. so it locks the door thinking you have changed your mind. If the door switch is not fully depressed by the door because it is loose (or has failed).unlocking the door, opening the door and closing the door does not result in a signal being sent to the locking system that you are in the car. In both cases I found that positioning the switch properly in its opening and fully tightening the screws solved the random door locking. This means the door switches were never getting fully depressed as they were recessed to some extent because of the looseness. driver's door and passenger door switches. After much trial and error and many months I discovered two of the door switches were somehow loose. I have a 2016 HRV LX with the regular keyed ignition. Had 8 gen Accord for 11 years and this car was brilliant service wise - only regular oil/brake pad changes - that was it. When they go on strike they don't work in auto or manual and then suddenly start working normally again.Īll in all I'm loosing my faith in new Hondas. I don't know if this could be also related but only recently - like 2 months ago window wipers started working spuriously as well. I run out of ideas what could be the source of the problem and wondering if anyone had similar issues before and fixed it somehow. They kept car for almost a week and never found anything wrong during that time. Gentle break in did the job but I went ballistic with Honda after that. We opened the car with the spare key, my wife went to work with both keys, after work she tried to remove the snow and during that time managed to lock both keys inside. I lost my doubts about it when I parked the car in garage and left the keys on a drivers seat - in the morning car was locked. No warnings since then but car definitely locks by itself. Went to Honda service and they replaced Keyless module in the car. After few months "Keyless warning" came up on a dash. Year ago she reported to me that car can lock by itself either from inside or outside but I assumed that she presses the locking button on the keys by accident. My wife has 2015 model with keyless entry.
