Not precisely a problem ... regarding AUTO LOCK WHEN IN MOTION

Question re-written for clarity, and 'hobda' to Honda.
Question moved to model category.

You say it is not locking down securely. So you press in down to lock and it doesn't. That is just a simple adjustment fix, normally you move the securing hook a little closer to the lock.

But you also say it seems to be locking and unlocking via the fob. That is an electronics issue. It might just be a bad contact on the solenoid, or it is electronic via the whole electronic door locking system. For that you need an auto electrician.

Door locks are controlled by the body control module This module operates a relay that controls door lock function. The relay may be bad or the module may not be getting a signal from the speed sensor to let it know when to lock the doors when the vehicle is in motion. Check engine light on? Scan for codes that might pertain to this failure

check wiring to switch sounds like a ground out

either abs sensor failing or damaged and or hub failing the abs system is incorporated into the hub have vehicle scanned most auto stores offer this service for free

You mean you left the FOB in the car. Go to the rear corner of the side the FOB is on (just behind rear wheel of side the FOB is on). "Bounce" the car up and down 5 - 10 times. Try the door. FOB has small motion switch in it and it might move enough to activate "auto-open" for locks. This will only work if "auto-open" is enabled in "Options".

sounds like the door lock is actually missing teath it has a gear inside the power lock likely will require change
try the local salvage yard for replacement parts cheeper
