I bought this Accord brand new in April 2011. In Oct 2011 after I parked at my job, turned off car, removed keys, the car doors automatically locked with me inside and alarm sounded. I could not unlock the doors per icon on door pad or by trying to use inside door handle--I am trapped inside and it was terrifying !!! Employees at my job even came out (due to alarm) and asked to help--I could not even roll down a window. I tried to reinsert the ignition keys and turn on car to roll down window or unlock doors--no success. I took our owners manual to look up problem--by now I am very scared--and was too nervous to find info. After approx 5-10 mins (I was late clocking into work due to this) the alarm just goes off by itself and doors unlock !!! It was a very scared experience being "trapped" inside your own vehicle. We had had heavy rain that night/day and I thought something electrical had gotten wet--so I did not get it checked out that day (A Saturday).

Yesterday 2-1-12 the exact same thing happened after I stopped at my bank to go inside. The same experience !! Doors locked after I removed key (with me inside) alarm goes off. Could not get out of the car until about 5 mins when the alarm quit and I was able to use the keypad on the door handle--so I immediately brought car into dealership.

I am not comfortable using this car again--wonder it I had had my grandchildren with me. Or if the car caught on fire for some electrical problem???? The dealership loaned me another car and are investigating--so I am waiting on their findings.
