| Description of the problem | Last fall, the door lock on the front passenger door on my 2007 honda crv began to lock back after unlocking it to allow my son into the car. It locks back within 2-3 seconds of unlocking it with the keyless entry. Since this time, the other 3 doors operate in the same manner. The doors lock back within seconds after unlocking. On monday, july 15, my car did not start. With the keys in the ignition, i got out of the car to go check under the hood. After checking under the hood, i tried to get back in my car but could not... The doors were locked... All four of them along with the hatchback. I returned inside my home to retrieve my spare car key. The key did not unlock my door. I attempted several times without luck. There is only one key entry point with the model i have and the key did not work. I had to enter the car through the sunroof, which i had left open the previous evening. I then removed the keys from the ignition and attempted to open the door manually with this key. It did not open the door, either. Neither does the valet key. The only way i can open my car is with the keyless entry. I checked with the local honda dealer and was told it would cost between $800-$1200 to fix. I do not think this is right - i should be able to open my car with a key. I can get by without the keyless entry but all cars, regardless of mileage or years, should open manually with a key. |
