Doors lock/unlock while driving, PLEASE HELP!!!

My wife drivers our 04 Acura TL. She is complaining that when she comes to a complete stop at a red light, stop sign, etc... and starts to move again the car will relock (arounf 10-15mph). I thought it might be a key fob issue but we tried the other fob and that didn't solve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciate. If I have to take it to a dealer, does anyone know how much this would cost to fix? Thanks for your help in advance.

There is a setting in the MID that turns this feature on/off. Try turning it off and see if it fixes the problem.

is she unlocking the doors beforehand? or is just trying to 'relock' even though they are already locked.

Thanks for everyone's help. I changed the setting in the MID and it worked fine for a two days. Now I'm getting the common problem of the driver's side door not locking with the key fob. It doesn't even lock when she manually presses the button while in the car. I assume I should start by changing the actuator in the driver's side door. Is that a correct starting point?

Changing the actuator will prolly fix the problem I had similar simptoms and replacement of the actuator DID fix the problem, I bought extra OEM actuator from dealer $40 but didn't install or use $25 shipped if your want it. holla
