In 2010 the locks on the two front doors and left rear passenger door stopped responding to the electronic signal at about the same time. All three actuators were replaced. The vehicle has not had extensive usage since then but in December 2013 problems developed again with the locks - with two new doors and one repeating door. The rear right passenger door lock, the trunk/hatch lock, and for a second time the driver's front door do not work correctly. The rear right passenger door has no external key lock and does not respond to the electronic signal. It must be locked and unlocked manually from the interior of the car using the lock button on that door. The driver's door responds to an electronic signal but a key cannot be inserted into the lock. The trunk lock does not respond to a signal and a key can only be inserted into the lock if the car is locked and then unlocked via the driver's side control button located on the door. It seems unusual that all three doors would begin experiencing difficulties at the same time - with one door that had already had an actuator replaced being one of the three problem doors. Why can the control lock button on the driver's door affect the ability to place a key in the trunk/hatch lock" has Honda issued a safety bulletin or recall on this issue? there seems to be a lot of lock concerns being posted on car forums concerning the CRV lock issue. Is this a safety issue"

Door lock does not work with the remote or manual key. Door locks sporadically move up and down with out touching door lock switches. I spent $300 on genuine Honda parts and had my mechanic install a new actuator and lock mechanism, and the problem is exactly the same. I want to take the car to Honda and ask for a total reimbursement and a final repair. I am surprised there has not been a recall on this particular problem because of the number of complaints about the key locks on these models. A local television station ( with a problem solving segment recently covered this problem.) can you please help me in any way? thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
