Auto door unlock - FOR ALL DOORS!

[Crispy]

Not just the driver's door.

Come on. This is easy. You can still fix it on my Ridgeline with a software update.

This is annoying as hell.

This is certainly one of the bigger gripes RL owners have. Last week I had a telephone survey and I told her that was one of mine. She seemed to know it was a complaint by others as well.

I am sure it is something they will change in the future, and hopefully not leave us 'first year' buyers hanging

I traded in a 2002 TrailBlazer for the RL. I LOVE MY RL, but the TrailBlazer had a feature where you could determine how you wanted the doors to unlock, if you wanted any to unlock.

You could have all, drivers only or none.

Now for me, when I worked in Trenton, NJ, I left it for none to unlock. Didn't want the door to unlock unless I wanted it to.

I guess the strange thing is this... we get too used to technology doing things for us. Remember the day when we had to lock and unlock all doors manually?

Not much. Too much drugs.

Maybe we should make the SEARCH button really really big at the top?

My 85 CRX-Si had manual locks and windows.

Actually if you check the search for this, this is the first one in the Dear Honda section, although there are other notes they are distinctly different. There are Dear Honda notes that include this complaint but not one dedicated to this issue.

Our 2003 Accord EX-Leather has power locks, but none of teh doors lock or unlock unless you do it yourself.

Guess that's what I meant.

There are 3 settings available for auto-lock that can be set by your dealer, none of them does all the doors at same time. I saw this in a Ridgeline brochure for customers at the dealer so Honda is definitely aware of this shortcoming to make mention in a public document. If I remember correctly, it dealt with option 1 being auto lock when gear lever goes to drive, option 2 when vehicle reaches 9 miles per hour, and option 3 is a total disable of the feature so you are on lock it yourself mode.
