Doors Locking By Themselves

Hey! Saturday night the power door locks on my fit started acting up. Was locked out of the car twice, first time I thought I must just be an idiot, the second time left wondering wth? The problem is, if the key is in the ignition, and you shut the drivers door, all the doors lock. It doesn't matter what position the key is in whether off, acc or with the engine running. If the key is in the ignition the doors lock. I don't notice anything else different. The door lock button and key fob lock/unlock work as they should. I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction to take care of this. Searching hasn't brought me any answers. 2008 Fit Sport MT 44k miles

Bueller....Bueller........Bueller....

:NEW SYMPTOMS:
The alarm has been going off when I open the door. I exit the car leaving it unlocked, go back to it, open door, and horn starts blaring. It doesn't happen everytime but enough that it's an annoyance. What would be causing the alarm to arm itself without even locking the car?? I have an appointment tuesday for the switch recall, i'm hoping that may take care of it??

CLIFFNOTES:
Key in ignition, close door, doors cycle unlock,unlock,lock
Alarm arming and going off when car is not locked

So, why do you leave your key in the ignition?

A follow up in case someone else has the same issue, turned out to be the door lock actuator.

My dealer told me that the problem I'm having with my 2013 Fit locking the doors by itself about a minute after I press unlock on the key fob is a design "feature" that cannot be disabled. This is a TERRIBLE DESIGN. If I unlock the doors they should obviously be unlocked.
Does anyone know how to disable this?
