2007 Honda CR-V complaints

LAST FALL, THE DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ON MY 2007 HONDA CRV BEGAN TO LOCK BACK AFTER UNLOCKING IT TO ALLOW MY SON INTO THE CAR. IT LOCKS BACK WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS OF UNLOCKING IT WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY. SINCE THIS TIME, THE OTHER 3 DOORS OPERATE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE DOORS LOCK BACK WITHIN SECONDS AFTER UNLOCKING. ON MONDAY, JULY 15, MY CAR DID NOT START. WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD, I TRIED TO GET BACK IN MY CAR BUT COULD NOT...THE DOORS WERE LOCKED...ALL FOUR OF THEM ALONG WITH THE HATCHBACK. I RETURNED INSIDE MY HOME TO RETRIEVE MY SPARE CAR KEY. THE KEY DID NOT UNLOCK MY DOOR. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT LUCK. THERE IS ONLY ONE KEY ENTRY POINT WITH THE MODEL I HAVE AND THE KEY DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE SUNROOF, WHICH I HAD LEFT OPEN THE PREVIOUS EVENING. I THEN REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY WITH THIS KEY. IT DID NOT OPEN THE DOOR, EITHER. NEITHER DOES THE VALET KEY. THE ONLY WAY I CAN OPEN MY CAR IS WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $800-$1200 TO FIX. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS RIGHT - I SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN MY CAR WITH A KEY. I CAN GET BY WITHOUT THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUT ALL CARS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR YEARS, SHOULD OPEN MANUALLY WITH A KEY. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 WITH 18,000. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS BEGAN TO REALIZE THERE WAS A DEFINITE PULL TO THE RIGHT. WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND MENTIONED THIS PULL. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY PULL. DURING A FINAL VISIT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PULL AND THEY SUGGESTED AN ALIGNMENT. I REPLACED MY TIRES AND THIS HELPED SOME WHAT, BUT THE PULL STILL EXISTS. AFTER CHECKING VARIOUS SITES, I'VE COME TO REALIZE PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN HONDA CR-V'S. *TR

THE LOCK ON MY RIGHT PASSENGER AND REAR/TRUNK DOORS LOCKED AND WERE UNABLE TO UNLOCK (COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY EITHER). THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $860.00 TO REPAIR BOTH LOCKS. AFTER CONTACTING AMERICA HONDA, THE PRICE WAS DROPPED TO $401.00. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEMS WERE THE FUSE BOX PROBLEM AND THE DOOR LATCH ACTUATOR. I FEEL THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A TODDLER WHO COULD HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR WHEN THE DOORS LOCK. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT A MAINTENANCE THAT I NEGLECTED TO SERVICE OR UPKEEP THEREFORE I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE I'VE READ ENOUGH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE CRV DOOR LOCKS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE ONLY TAKEN MY CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICES. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN 2008 WITH 18,000 MILES. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS BEGAN TO REALIZE THERE WAS A DEFINITE PULL TO THE RIGHT. WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND MENTIONED THIS PULL. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY PULL. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THIS WEEK THEY SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PULL AND THEY SUGGESTED AN ALIGNMENT AND MANY OTHER MAINTENANCE TASKS TOTALING $3,700. I REPLACED MY TIRES AND THIS HELPED SOME WHAT, BUT THE PULL STILL EXISTS. AFTER CHECKING VARIOUS SITES, I'VE COME TO REALIZE PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN HONDA CR-VS. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR WILL UNLOCKED AFTER LOCKING MANUALLY, WITH REMOTE, WHEN ITS TO AUTO LOCK AFTER YOU START DRIVING OVER 15 MPH. CANNOT LOCK PASSENGER DOOR AT ALL. *TR

THE ACTUATORS THAT NORMALLY LOCK ALL DOOR WHEN THE SPEED REACHES APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ARE MALFUNCTIONING. CURRENTLY, AFTER EVERY STOP AND START THE DOOR ACTUATOR SEEMS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY HONDA CR-V 2007 THE LOCKS WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK ON THEIR OWN. ANYTIME I SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS. IT WILL ALSO NEVER LOCK WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR. I ALSO REMEMBER MONTHS EARLIER THAT THE DOME LIGHT FLICKERED WHEN WE HAD THE DOORS OPEN AND PUTTING STUFF IN THE CAR. I DIDN'T NOTICE IT FOR AWHILE AND FIGURED IT WAS OK SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CR-V DOOR LOCKS (PASSENGER SIDE) STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHEN IT WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, BUT MY SON NOTICED IN NOVEMBER THAT THE DOORS WOULD IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK AFTER THEY ARE LOCKED, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN MY HATCH HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND I COULD NOT OPEN IT. I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING A SMALL CHILD IN MY CAR WHEN THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. NOT TO MENTION, THAT I HAD A LOADED GUN IN MY GLOVE BOX FOR A WHILE AND DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CAR WAS NOT STAYING LOCKED. *TR

WHILE RIDING THERE WAS A NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND IT WAS THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. THE LOCK KEPT LOCKING AND VERY SLOWLY UNLOCKING. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR (MOTOR OFF) I TRIED IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKED AND THE SLOWLY JUST UNLOCKED BY ITSELF. I NOW HAVE 20,033 MILES ON CAR AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MAY 11, 2013. NOW I CAN NOT SECURE MY CAR WHEN LEFT UNATTENDED. *TR

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS ON OUR CR-V. THE LOCKS WILL NOT STAY OPEN FOR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. ONE FOB KEY WILL OPEN THE DOOR. BUT WE HAVE TO BE READY TO OPEN THE DOOR AT THE EXACT SECOND WE HIT THE FOB. THE TURN KEY LOCK DOES NOT WORK. WHILE IN THE VEHICLE, WHETHER THE IGNITION IS ON OR OFF...IF WE HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON-IT LOCKS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE INCASE OF AN EMERGENCY. WE CONTACTED OUR HONDA DEALER WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS THE DRIVER DOOR ACTUATOR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH WE FOUND THIS TO A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND A BIG ENOUGH PROBLEM TO MAKE THE TV NEWS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES. BEFORE FILING THIS COMPLAINT, I CALLED HONDA CORP AND EXPLAINED OUR ISSUE WITH THE CR-V AND FOUND THEIR RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE TO BE VERY BLAZAY. I EXPLAINED OUR RESEARCH FINDINGS AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE TO SEE IF IT IS A HONDA DEFECT OR OUR PROBLEM. THERE IS A CHARGE FOR THAT AS WELL. ALSO IN DOING THE RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT DOING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ALL THE DOORS WILL EVENTUALLY NEED A NEW ACTUATOR. THE PRICE IS $350 OR MORE PER DOOR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEED TO ADDRESS. *TR

THE CRV LOCKS THE DOORS AND TAILGATE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED. OUR CRV LOCKED ITSELF ACCORDING TO THIS PROTOCOL. WE THEN PARKED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO EXIT THE CAR. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE THIS PROBLEM. WE EXITED VIA THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE TAILGATE WAS ALSO JAMMED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT, AND HE HAS TOLD US THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERRIDE THE LOCKING MECHANISM ONCE IT HAS JAMMED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. REPAIR WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HAS TO BE DIS-ASSEMBLED FROM THE INSIDE. THE ABSENCE OF A MANUAL OVERRIDE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH NO WAY TO GET OUT!! THANKFULLY ONLY TWO OF THE FIVE LOCKS FAILED!!!! *TR

DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED OR WILL LOCK AGAIN BEFORE WE CAN OPEN THE DOORS. *TR

ON OR ABOUT MAY 1ST, 2013, I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE'S PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WAS MAKING ODD NOISES EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS OFF. SHORTLY AFTER, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD LOCK THE CAR DOORS, THE LOCK ON THE AFOREMENTIONED DOOR WOULD OPEN BY ITSELF. I TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DEALERS AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ME AT LEAST $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE FIXED THE LOCK; HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE DOOR IS GOING TO BE REMAINED LOCKED FOREVER. IT DID NOT BOTHER ME MUCH BECAUSE AT LEAST MY CAR WOULD BE SAFE AND IT COULD NOT BE BROKEN INTO. THE NEXT DAY, I NOTICED ANOTHER PROBLEM! NOW THE TRUNK IS LOCKED AND THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO UNLOCK IT. *TR

ALL THE DOORS ON MY 2007 HONDA CR-V WILL NOT REMAIN UNLOCKED. ONCE THE UNLOCK BUTTON IS HIT ALL OF THEM REMAIN UNLOCKED FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND, AND THEN THEY ALL LOCK AGAIN. THIS RESULTS IN A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS (1) HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF CAR (HAVE SMALL KIDS IN CAR SEATS INSIDE THE CAR), AND (2) IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, ALL OF THE DOORS WILL BE LOCKED AND THERE WILL BE NO WAY TO GET INTO THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S DOOR UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112, 626.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE LOCK ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR OF MY 2007 HONDA CR-V WOULD ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE LOCK SHIFTED EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, THEN WOULD CONTINUE TO UNLOCK AND RE-LOCK EVERY TIME I WENT ABOVE/BELOW 15 MPH. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, HOWEVER, THE LOCK WOULD RE-ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD REMAIN LOCKED. NOW THE LOCK ON THIS DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE LOCK ALSO DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. THE REMOTE LOCK DOES NOT WORK, EVEN THOUGH THE HORN BEEPS AND THE LOCKS ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE AS IF THE VEHICLE DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED AND REMAIN LOCKED. THIS MORNING (JULY 1, 2013) THE BACK REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS ISSUE DURING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT, AT WHICH TIME A HONDA-CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN AT LEHIGH VALLEY HONDA TOLD ME THAT HE HAD "NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM" AND IT WOULD "PROBABLY JUST CLICK BACK INTO PLACE." I LATER MADE MENTION OF THE SAME PROBLEM DURING MY INSPECTION TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE THAT DAY. I JUST SPOKE WITH THE SAME LOCATION AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR JULY 5 TO SEE IF THEY CAN "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM. THE MANAGER TOLD ME HE DIDN'T WANT TO "DIAGNOSE THIS OVER THE PHONE" BUT INSIST THEY GIVE THE VEHICLE A COMPLETE WORKUP -- WHICH I AM FINE WITH, SO LONG AS I AM NOT BEING CHARGED FOR LABOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY REAL SAFET

ON MONDAY JUNE 24, 2013, I PUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, FASTENED THEIR CAR SEATS, WALKED AROUND TO MY DRIVER DOOR TO FIND IT LOCKED. MY CHILDREN WERE LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. (THANK GOODNESS I WAS STILL AT HOME AND WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE SPARE KEY) THE CAR IS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING ITSELF WITHIN SECONDS OF THE UNLOCK BUTTON BEING PRESSED ON THE REMOTE. IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AT THIS POINT (JULY 1, 2013) THIS AGAIN POSES A LARGE HAZARD TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN IN A CAR WHOSE DOORS UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY DEFECT! AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY COMMON SAFETY MALFUNCTION IN 2007 CRV'S, YET HONDA HAS NOT MADE A RECALL. I GUESS THEY ARE NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED. IT WILL UNLOCK BY ITSELF AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT MORE THE 10 MPH THE LOCK WILL CYCLE BETWEEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF A CR-V APPEAR TO BE HAVING. A PASSENGER MUST THAN RIDE WITH THE DOOR UNLOCKED AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO, THE CAR CAN'T BE SECURED WHEN PARKED. HONDA CORP. IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORT TO CORRECT IT. HONDA CORP. STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY MILEAGE(36,000) IT IS THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. TO ME THIS SOUNDS MORE LIKE A DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

ON JUNE 10, 2013 I BROUGHT MY 2007 CRV INTO HONDA NORTH, DANVERS, MA TO GET MY ANNUAL INSPECTION & A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. I MENTIONED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WHICH WAS STARTING TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THE DIAGNOSTIC UNCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY ACTUATOR AND ON 6/28/13 I HAD THIS REPLACED FOR $325. ON 6/29/13, ONE DAY LATER ALL "4" DOORS HAD PROBLEMS. MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH IT RUNNING WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE DRIVER DOOR TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE HATCH BACK. WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR, ALL "4" DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY AND MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WERE LOCKED INSIDE!!! I CAN NO LONGER USE THE REMOTE KEY TO OPEN THE DOORS, WHEN I MANUALLY OPEN THE DOORS I HAVE 2 SECONDS BEFORE ALL "4" DOORS LOCK TO GET INSIDE. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CHILDREN WILL GET LOCKED INSIDE AGAIN OR IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY THEY WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ACTUATOR FAILURE BEFORE THERE ARE FURTHER INCIDENTS OR FATALITIES BECAUSE OF THIS!! SO FAR I HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME & MONEY ON REPAIRS AND I WANT PEACE OF MIND THAT I HAVE PROPERLY FUNCTIONING LOCKS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN MY BACK LEFT DOOR LOCK SUDDENLY UNLOCKED ITSELF, WITHOUT MY PUSHING ANY LOCKING BUTTON. THIS CONTINUED SPORADICALLY. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING HAPPENED, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. LATER THE OTHER BACK DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, I HONESTLY DON'T REMEMBER. WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME, THEY QUOTED A PRICE FOR REPAIR WHICH MY HUSBAND FELT WAS TOO HIGH, SO HE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE. WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS (MAYBE APRIL OF 2013), THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR ALSO CAME DOWN WITH THE SAME UNLOCKING PROBLEM. LAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 26, 2013, THE SIMPLE CLICKING SOUND WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE UNLOCKING ACTION WAS REPLACED WITH A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING FROM A STANDING STILL SITUATION TO MOVING FORWARD. I SAW THIS MORNING THAT IT HAPPENED AT 10 MPH, BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES CONSECUTIVELY. THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED, SO THE DOOR COULD BE OPENED WHILE IN MOTION, OR IT COULD BE ENTERED BY ANYONE AT ANY TIME. I KNOW MINE IS NOT THE ONLY CAR OF THIS MODEL TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT STAY LOCKED. THEY WILL UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHILE IT IS ON. IT ALSO DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHILE IT IS OFF. ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AFFECTED. *TR

THE FRONT 2 DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF CAR OR ALLOW ME TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE IS A VERY BIG SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA DEALERSHIP WANTS $400.00 PER DOOR TO FIX. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS TO RECALL. *TR

THE PASSENGERS AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WITH LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, THEN AFTER 2 SECONDS IT WILL UN-LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN APPX 3 WEEKS AGO. WE CANNOT LOCK THE PASSENGERS DOOR ANYTIME (I.E. DURING DRIVING AND/OR PARKED IN THE CARPORT). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE AS TIME WENT BY I NOTICED THAT WHEN I LOCKED THE DOORS IN A PARKED POSITION THE LEFT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED, AFTER PUTTING A PIECE OF NAIL FILE IN THE HANDLE IT WORKED FINE. AS OF YESTERDAY 6/23/13 IT STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE TRAVELING AND THE REMOTE KEY CONTROL WON'T WORK. HOWEVER YOU CAN LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY TRAVELING OR IN A PARKED POSITION. *TR

MY DOOR LOCKS ON THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP IT FROM DOING THIS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE DEALER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I THEN ASKED THEM HOW I COULD LOCK THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICEMEN SENT ME ON MY WAY AND SAID THERE WAS NO WAY TO DO SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED WITH EACH OF THE DOORS. THE LATEST IS THAT THE CAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS THE CONSOLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND GET OUT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT, ESPECIALLY IF THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN A CAR FIRE. IN ADDITION, WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THEM FROM OPENING THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO HONDA SIX TIMES REGARDING THE DIFFERENT DOORS AND EACH TIME HAVE HAD TO FIGHT WITH THEM REGARDING FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS FIXED WITHOUT A QUESTION, BUT EACH ADDITIONAL TIME I HAVE HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS AND ARGUE WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD WORK AND WHEN YOU REVIEW DIFFERENT FORUMS AND BLOGS ON LINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HATCH DOOR WERE LOCKED SHUT. I COULD NOT OPEN EITHER DOOR WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. I WAS CONCERNED THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGER IF WE WERE EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. I DID HAVE BOTH DOORS REPAIRED. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE REAR DOOR STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHENEVER THE DOORS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE ALL THE DOORS AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS CONCERNED THE DOORS WOULD LOCK ME OUT ONE DAY. I DO MAKE FREQUENT CAR TRIPS TO SEE MY FAMILY IN ANOTHER CITY AND I DID NOT WANT TO GET LOCKED OUT WHILE ON ROUTE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THOSE TWO DOORS REPAIRED FOR ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE CRV'S BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED TO UNLOCK RANDOMLY, THEN WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN DRIVING. ALL OTHER DOORS REMAINED LOCKED. I TRIED TO RESET AUTO LOCKS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HONDA CRV OWNERS MANUAL. THIS WORKED A COUPLE TIMES FOR A DAY OR SO, THEN BACK TO THE SAME OLD LOCKING /UNLOCKING. THE PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL NOW LEAVING MY VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS IN DANGER. WHEN SEARCHING THRU THE INTERNET FOR OTHER POSSIBLE FIXES, I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD IN FINDING SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 HONDA CRV'S I HAVE A 2007. IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THERE IS A SAFE FEELING WHEN DRIVING AROUND AND YOU HAVE THE SECURITY OF A LOCKED CAR DOOR. I AM NOT FEELING VERY SAFE IN MY CAR THESE DAYS AND HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BY HONDA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CRV WHOSE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK CONSTANTLY AS I DRIVE. WHEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE I CANNOT LOCK MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SO THAT LOCK REMAINS UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THERE HAVE BEEN OCCURRENCES WHERE I PARK AND TURN OFF MY CAR BUT I CANNOT UNLOCK MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR SO I NEED TO SLIDE ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO EXIT MY CAR. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN BOTH DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING. THE COST TO REPAIR EACH DOOR IS OUT OF MY REACH SO I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE. *TR

UPON LOCKING THE DOOR USING EITHER THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON OR THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ON THE DOORS BOTH THE LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR DOORS IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. UPON UNLOCKING THE DOORS THE RIGHT REAR DOOR IMMEDIATELY RE-LOCKS ITSELF. *TR

LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS WHEN OTHER DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, AND UNLOCKS WHEN OTHER DOORS ARE LOCKED. ALSO REAR HATCH DOOR NOW WON'T UNLOCK. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR KEY WONT OPEN DOOR. *TR

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY CAR DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE FOR HONDA TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM HERE? OR MAYBE ONE OF OUR CHILDREN FROM BEING LOCKED INSIDE? *TR

IN DECEMBER, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THE LOCK WOULD NOT BUDGE. MY BABY WAS IN HIS REAR-FACING CARSEAT ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SO I HAD TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET MY BABY OUT THROUGH THAT DOOR. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO ESCALATE TO THE POINT THAT AS OF TODAY (06/11/13), THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LOCK AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL ONLY REMAIN UNLOCKED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE MOVING ITSELF BACK TO THE LOCKED POSITION. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TOMORROW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET, HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND I FEAR THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR LOCKS MAY FAIL ALL TOGETHER AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED UNLOCKING ON AND OFF WITH EVERY ACCELERATION INCREASE OF 10-15 MPH (MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR OCCUPANTS). IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY OR BY MANUAL PUSH. WORSE, THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM LED TO MY CAR BEING VULNERABLE TO UNLAWFUL ENTRY, AND SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR WAS RANSACKED (ITEMS STOLEN) THIS WEEK AFTER I THOUGHT ALL MY "DEPENDABLE HONDA" DOORS WERE LOCKED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I AM DISGUSTED TO SEE THAT MANY HONDA CR-V (2007 MODEL) DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXACT OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS (UN)LOCKING. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. VERY UNHAPPY!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL DOOR LOCKS STARTED LOCK/UNLOCK ERRATICALLY THEMSELVES ,ALL DOORS.. WHILE DRIVING, STOPPING, PARKING. WHEN YOU STOP THE CAR, THEY LOCKING THEMSELVES AND YOU CAN'T OPEN DOOR TILL YOU PRESS LOCK MANUALLY OR REMOVE THE KEYS AND PRESS OPEN BUTTON . *TR

I NOTICED TODAY THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL LOCK AND THEN SLOWLY UNLOCK. IT LOCKS BOTH WITH THE REMOTE AND THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE, BUT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A STEEL POST. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR BODY REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL DOORS WOULD LOCK WITH THE EXCEPTION THE FRONT PASSENGER'S DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK. I TRIED THE REMOTE, THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON ON THE DOOR, AND EVEN MANUALLY LOCKING. NOTHING WORKED. THEN, YESTERDAY, THE OPPOSITE BEGAN. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. AGAIN, TRYING ALL MEANS OF LOCKING AND NOTHING KEEPS IT LOCKED. IT WILL INITIALLY LOCK, BUT SLOWLY UNLOCKS. AS I'M DRIVING, IT WILL TRY TO LOCK AGAIN AT 9 MPH, BUT DOESN'T HOLD. SO, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I GET TO HEAR MY DOOR LOCKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL ISSUE. MY DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION. *TR

EVEN WHEN YOU LOCK IT (OR IT LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ABOVE 10 MPH), THE FRONT TWO DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN, WHEN DRIVING OR EVEN AFTER PARKING THE CAR. BASED UPON OTHER POSTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR, AND SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

FOR SOME TIME NOW THE DOORS OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOCK AGAIN WHEN USING REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY. BUT NOW OCCASIONALLY THE PANIC BUTTON GOES OFF AND THE CAR HONKS AND FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AND WE WERE ALL ESSENTIALLY STRANDED UNTIL THE CAR SETTLED DOWN. IT IS EASY TO IMAGINE A MUCH MORE SERIOUS SCENARIO WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND THE CAR CANNOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THE LOCKS ARE INOPERABLE AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND TO DEACTIVATING THE PANIC BUTTON. *TR

THE DOORS UNLOCK THEMSELVES WHETHER DRIVING OR PARKED. WHEN I USE MY REMOTE TO LOCK MY DOORS TWO OF MY DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK THEMSELVES. WHEN DRIVING AND AUTO LOCKS ENGAGE, TWO OF THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK THEMSELVES CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK ITSELF. *TR

IT STARTED WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK UNLOCKING AND LOCKING ITSELF. NOW THE OTHER DOOR LOCKS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. AS I AM DRIVING THEY ARE ALWAYS UNLOCKING AND LOCKING. I AM SCARED MY SON WILL LEAN ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 43317 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, IT'S RANDOM WHEN IT HAPPENS. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME LOCK ISSUES OR AT LEAST SOMETHING SIMILAR. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING THE DOOR IT WOULD RELOCK ITS SELF. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK MOVES ITSELF INTO UNLOCK POSITION EITHER IMMEDIATELY AFTER LOCKING, OR WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE ACTUATOR WILL LOCK, BUT THERE IS CLEARLY A SPRING FORCE THAT GRADUALLY UNLOCKS THE DOOR DURING DRIVING, OR EVEN WHEN STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AS THE DOORS WOULD CONTINUALLY TRY TO LOCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. EVENTUALLY, I FOUND WHICH DOOR, WHEN I OPENED IT FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN ALL OTHERS WERE LOCKED. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CHILD SAFETY SWITCH IS ENGAGED OR NOT. THE DOOR WILL STILL UNLOCK ITSELF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25MPH OR WHILE STOPPED, OR WHILE PARKED THE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN. MY WIFE AND I WATCHED THE DOOR UNLOCK WHILE PARKED WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS SERIOUS SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCERNS. *TR

DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES REPEATEDLY AS I DROVE, UNLOCKING @ AROUND 9 MPH NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I RELOCKED. IF I RELOCKED THEM THEY WOULD OPEN AT AN INTERSECTION STOP (VERY UNSAFE ALSO!), OR JUST OPEN & CLOSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING - ALL KINDS OF NOISY DOOR-LOCKING & UNLOCKING. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE REAR DOOR LOCKED AT ALL WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, LEAVING IT UNLOCKED AT NIGHT OR IF I LEFT THE CARE TO GO SOMEWHERE. I WAS ON A TRIP WITH LUGGAGE, COMPUTER, GPS, ETC. IN THE CAR AND IT WAS UNLOCKED! WHEN I GOT BACK HOME TO RHODE ISLAND AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND THE LOCK ACTUATORS ON THE FRONT & REAR PASSENGER DOORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $524. THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT IT WAS NOT CAUSE BY ANYTHING I DID, WHICH MADE ME EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE THEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN! I FELT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE SERVICE COMPLETED BECAUSE I FELT SO UNSAFE WITH AN UNLOCKED AUTO, BOTH ON THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO OVERNIGHT OR WHEN PARKED. I HAVE JUST SUBMITTED THIS INFORMATION, SERVICE INVOICE, AND A COPY OF MY PROOF OF PAYMENT TO HONDA IN TORRANCE, CA, ONLY BECAUSE I SAW A SIMILAR COMPLAINT ON WPRI-TV IN PROVIDENCE - WHICH MADE ME REALIZE I WAS NOT AT ALL ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

ALL FIVE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU UNLOCK THEM MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO OR OUT OF THE CAR. THE LOCKS WILL ALSO LOCK AND UNLOCK RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING UNDER 15MPH. *TR
