Tl*the contact owns a 2004 acura tsx. While driving approximately 10 MPH in a parking lot, the contact heard a loud noise coming from the instrument panel. The contact parked the vehicle and proceeded to lock the power doors before exiting; however, the door locking mechanism would not work. She could not lock the doors from inside the vehicle and had to manually lock them from the outside. In addition, the trunk locking mechanism was inoperative and could only be activated with the trunk release.
