2010 MDX-Power Locking Issues-Actuator?

Hey guys-I had a question for you. I have a 2010 MDX (about 33,000 miles on it), and a couple months ago I noticed that the doors would lock and unlock continuously depending on what speed I was going. This is something that just started happening casually. Then shortly after this began, I noticed that pressing the lock button on my key fob would NOT always lock the car (I wouldn't hear the chirp), and when I would go to see if the doors were locked, they were not, so I had to manually lock them with the key.


So I took the car in a few weeks ago to the local Honda dealer (I don't have an Acura dealer close by), and the Honda dealer said it was an actuator issue. They put in a new actuator ($240 job), and I'm now still having the problem. I am supposed to take the car back in next week for a new diagnosis, but I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar issue with their MDX or any other Acura vehicle.

Just putting out this question again. Has anybody had any issues with their power locks acting up, perhaps something caused by the actuator?

I had this problem 6 months ago with my 08 RDX and replaced the part for about the same price. I had to lock the door manually. It has been fine since the fix at the Acura dealership. Maybe Honda used the wrong part (honda part number instead of an Acura part number).

We had a door lock actuator go on our MDX as well. Dealer replaced it and had no problems afterward.
