2007 Honda CR-V complaints

MY DRIVER DOOR AND HOOD DOOR ARE UNABLE TO OPEN; TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER AND IT'S COSTING ME OVER $800 FOR THEM JUST TO BREAK THE DOOR PANEL AND THEN TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IT'S A SEPARATE BILL; THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND I FIND IT TO BE VERY UNSAFE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE,THE AUTOMATIC POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE CAR REACHES APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THIS DOES HAPPEN BUT AFTER THE DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE, BOTH REAR DOORS ON MY VEHICLE UNLOCK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE 3 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN AND I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW THEM TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT THEY MAY OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH "CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCKS", I WILL NOT TOTALLY RELY ON THIS AS THE ONLY METHOD TO SECURING THE DOORS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN THIS MATTER,BUT THEY SEEM TO ATTRIBUTE IT TO A WEAR AND TEAR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT THIS WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DID NOT SEEM TO TAKE MY CONCERNS SERIOUSLY.I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE 2006 HONDA CR-V WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND AS EARLY AS A FEW MONTHS AGO THE 2012 HONDA CR-V ALONG WITH SOME ACURA MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THESE DEFECTIVE POWER DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS.I REPLACED THE FRONT DOOR MECHANISM IN 2009 ONLY TO HAVE BOTH REAR DOOR MECHANISMS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME A SHORT TIME LATER. I FIND IT HARD TO ATTRIBUTE THE FAILURE OF TWO INDIVIDUAL PARTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME TO A CASE OF WEAR AND TEAR OR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THESE PARTS ARE FAILING DUE TO AN INFERIOR DESIGN AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS MATTER TO BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS WERE INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS WERE AUTOMATIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WOULD LOCK AS SOON AS THEY WERE OPENED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

MY CAR IS WHINING AND MAKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY CAR UNLOCKS AND LOCKS WHILE DRIVING .. PASSENGERS AND DRIVER SIDE DOORS LOCK AND CANNOT REOPEN UNLESS U HAVE THE KEY OR THE DRIVER UNLOCKS THE DOOR MAKING THIS A DANGEROUS SAFETY FEATURE ..THUS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE DRIVER THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR CANNOT GET OUT.. SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR TO GO INTO THE STORE AND LEFT MY HANDICAPPED SISTER IN THE CAR SHE TRIED TO GET OUT TO USE THE STORES BATHROOM AND FOUND THAT SHE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR.. IT WAS LOCKED AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED THIS HAS HAPPENED WAY TOO MANY TIMES ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS GOOGLED IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ..HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEM THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU WERE A PASSENGER AND GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHICH KNOCKS THE DRIVER OUT AND THERE WAS A CAR FIRE ETC THE PASSENGERS WOULD BURN TO DEATH BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE ... OR THE OUT SIDE ... PLEASE HELP US HONDA WANTED 253.00 TO FIX ONE DOOR LOCK I HAVE NO MONEY TO DO THIS THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES .. AS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET ... *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE ON LEFT PASSENGER DOOR. DOOR WOULD LOCK UNCOMMANDED. ACTUATOR REPLACED AT OWNERS COST AND 1 WEEK AFTER FIRST ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT DRIVERS DOOR MASTER ACTUATOR FAILED WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW THE UNLOCK OF PASSENGER DOORS. PASSENGERS COULD NOT EGRESS CAR FROM THEIR DOORS. THIS CONDITION WOULD BE UNSAFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD ONLY BE UNLOCKED WITH THE MASTER CONTROL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR WITH THE KEY FOB BUT IT WOULD LOCK ITSELF IF THE DOOR WAS NOT OPENED IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 99,000.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE LOCK SLOWLY UNLOCKS ITSELF. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND ACCELERATED THROUGH 6 OR 7 MPH. SO FAR IT IS JUST THE FRONT, RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR, BUT BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL ONLY BE GETTING WORSE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE I LIVE IN A CITY AND ANYONE COULD EASILY JUMP INTO THE CAR AND HIJACK THE VEHICLE. THIS PUTS EVERYONE IN DANGER OF BEING HARMED AND PUTS MY CAR AT GREAT RISK OF THEFT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT GOTTEN A RECALL WHEN IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I ONLY HAVE 34,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THERE IS NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR AND EVEN WHEN I DO IT STILL REOPENS ITSELF SOMETIMES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED. THESE CAR COMPANIES SHOULD NOT BE GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TOYOTA WAS NOT PENALIZED UNTIL PEOPLE STARTED DYING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A HONDA OWNER BECOMES THE VICTIM. *TR

ON MAY 18, 2012, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. EVERY TIME I WOULD START OR STOP, THE DOOR WOULD LOCK THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. IT IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED USING THE KEY FOB AND IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY BY PUSHING THE LEVER INSIDE THE CAR. SO BASICALLY THE CAR IS UNLOCKED. IT IS A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDAS. OTHER MODELS AND YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT THE 2007 CR-V. I ONLY HAVE 19,700 MILES ON MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR!!! HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE ALREADY HAVE TWO OTHER ITEMS FIXED ON THIS CAR AT NO COST BECAUSE OF TSBS BEING ISSUED (REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION MODULE). I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE TO REQUEST A GOODWILL CONSIDERATION REPAIR SINCE IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $265 TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE/FAULTY PART. *JS

RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED, NO MATTER HOW I TRY TO LOCK IT. IT LOCKS AND SLOWLY OPENS ITSELF. *TR

WHEN CHECKING WASHER FLUID, I NOTICED THE FLUID WAS NOT VISIBLE, SO I ADDED THE PROPER FLUID. AS NOTHING HAPPENED, I LOOKED UNDER CAR, & THE WASHER SOLUTION WAS RUNNING OUT ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR, AS I POURED IT INTO JUG. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, I FOUND PIECES OF THE TUBING THAT HAD BEEN CHEWED ON, AND IN SOME AREAS, CHEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH. ONE OF THESE AREAS I WAS ABLE TO ACCESS VIA A PLASTIC DOOR, ABOUT 12 INCHES WIDE, BY ABOUT 2 INCHES IN HEIGHT, LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD, IN THE CENTER OF THE FIREWALL, JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I FOUND PIECES OF TUBING IN THIS AREA, ALSO. LOOKING FURTHER, I FOUND INSULATION THAT MICE HAD MOVED FROM AN UNKNOWN AREA, TO MAKE THEIR NEST. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM A HONDA REP, IN CALIFORNIA. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION, IN A PEACEFUL MANNER, I WAS NOT OFFERED ANY SOLUTION TO THE MICE PROBLEM, AS I WAS TRYING TO GET HONDA TO HELP ME DETERMINE WHERE THE POINT OF ENTRY WAS LOCATED AT, IN THE CAR BODY, THAT WOULD ALLOW MICE TO GAIN ENTRY. AS A FORMER AUTO MECHANIC, & A STRUCTURE AIRCRAFT MECHANIC, I PLANNED TO MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF. (THE INSULATION MOVEMENT COULD BE AFFECTING THE A/C & HEATING SYSTEMS, ALSO). LATER, I FOUND BOTH OF THE WIRES TO THE LEFT CLEARANCE LIGHT HAD BEEN CHEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH, WIRE & ALL. I LATER READ ON A WEB SITE, THAT THE WIRING INSULATION WAS MADE OUT OF RECYCLED FOOD MATERIAL, SUCH AS THE HUSKS FROM CORN, OR PODS FROM MATURE DRIED BEANS!! I CONSIDER THE WINDSHIELD WASH

1ST FAILURE WAS TIRES IN REAR OF THE VEHICLE WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE. RETURNED TO THE DEALER ASKING THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY BLAMED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. PUT NEW TIRES ON HAD ALL THE NECESSARY DEALER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. ROTATION ECT. THE NEW TIRES INSTALLED AT 42,000 BEGAN TO SHIMMY BADLY IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AT 63,000 MILES. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER IN FL AND THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE REAR BECAUSE OF THE SAME WEAR AS THE 1ST SET. THE REAR SUSPENSION CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION WAS AFTER MARKET (NOT HONDA MFG PARTS) WITH AN ADJUSTABLE ARM. THE CAMBER CAN NOW BE ADJUSTED TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, THE TIRES WOULD HAVE WORN OUT IN AN AREA NOT EASY TO SEE AN CAUSE A BLOWOUT AT HIGH SPEED WOULD BE A REAL PROBLEM. HONDA CORP WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT. I SEE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I EXPERIENCED. THE EXTENDED VEHICLE INS. I PURCHASED WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY HONDA HAS MODIFIED THIS PART AND THEY WILL NOT PAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE MY TIRE FAILURE OCCUR AT A SLOW SPEED. AT 70 MPG IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD AND EVERYONE WOULD HAVE BLAMED THE TIRES. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE'S UNABLE TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO STOP ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. HONDA AND ALL THE DEALERS ARE IN DENIAL OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE UNLOCKING HER VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE MADE A BUZZING SOUND. THE CONTACT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000 . THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICE THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE D FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHAFER SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

AFTER ACCELERATING THE 2007 HONDA CRV, THE AUTO CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. APPLYING THE BRAKES DID LITTLE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. AFTER 4/10TH OF A MILE THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STOPPED, AND AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED IT RACED AT FULL SPEED. IT WAS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF "PARK" AND INTO NEUTRAL. (4 ATTEMPTS WERE MADE OVER A 30 MIN PERIOD). VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC REPORTED THAN WHEN HE RECEIVED THE CAR HE NEED TO JUMP START THE 1 YEAR OLD BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR NORMALLY. HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND WILL CONTINUE TO RUN TESTS. *TR

LOUD NOISE FROM REAR END DIFFERENTIAL WHEN MAKING SLOW SHARP TURNS. *TR

FRONT DRIVER AND TRUNK DOORS POWER LOCKS STOP WORKING. IT SEEMED TO BE VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR HONDA CR-VS 2007 AND YOUNGER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE TWO LATCHES WOULD COST ME STAGGERING $500. IT DEFINITELY SEEM TO BE THE DESIGN PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHY HONDA DOES NOT ACT TO RECALL THE PART, FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR

THE HATCH WOULDN'T OPEN. NOTICED THE BACK LEFT DOOR WAS STUCK LOCKED WHILE OTHER DOORS OPENED WHEN UNLOCKED W/KEY REMOTE AND MANUALLY FROM FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SO I MANUALLY OPENED THE LOCK ON THE BACK LEFT DOOR WHICH ENABLED THE HATCH TO OPEN. FROM THEN, THE BACK LEFT DOOR WOULDN'T LOCK. NOTICED THIS WHILE DRIVING--MY SON OPENED DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, LUCKILY WE WEREN'T ON THE FREEWAY AND HE WAS IN A CHILD SEAT. OTHERWISE HE WOULD'VE FLEW OUT. THE DOOR SOUNDED LIKE IT LOCKED AS IT ALWAYS DID BUT DIDN'T REALIZED THE BACK DOOR WASN'T LOCKED. *TR

BOUGHT USED 2007 HONDA CRV. DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. FUEL MILEAGE FINE AT FIRST GETTING 22/28. DROPPED SUDDENLY TO SINGLE DIGITS. AFTER USING INJECTOR CLEANER TREATMENT TWICE, CAN ONLY GET 22.5 CITY OR HWY. JUST STUCK AT CURRENT MILEAGE. DUE TO GO TO DEALER NEXT WEEK. WE'LL SEE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE ACCELERATED FROM STOPS, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD INVOLUNTARILY LOCK AND UNLOCK. ON A FEW OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT GOT LOCKED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 112,000.

2007 HONDA CR-V AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS FAILING. ONE AFTER THE OTHER, THREE(3) NOW. DEFECTIVE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT WAS EXITING A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH WHEN HE SLIGHTLY HIT A LOW CURB WHICH WAS LOWER THAN THREE INCHES, WHEN THE DRIVERS AIRBAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000. UPDATED 02/28/12 *BF UPDATED 03/26/12

REAR DRIVER DOOR NOT LOCKING. WHEN ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED EITHER USING THE REMOTE OR THE MASTER DRIVER DOOR LOCK BUTTON, THE REAR DRIVER DOOR RETURNS TO THE UNLOCKED STATE WITHIN ONE SECOND OF LOCKING. IT CANNOT BE LOCKED MANUALLY AND DOES NOT REMAIN LOCKED IF THE BUTTON IS MANUALLY HELD IN PLACE. I HAVE READ VARIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM BECOMING FAULTY. WHY WON'T HONDA TAKE OWNERSHIP AND DO A RECALL! I AM UNFAIRLY HAVING TO SPEND ALMOST $250 TO GET THE ACTUATOR REPLACED. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY JUST LIKE SEAT BELTS! THIS IS CAUSING A THEFT HAZARD AS WELL AS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY CHILD RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT! *TR

IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GOING TO SIT ON THEIR HANDS AND WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION. THESE DOOR LOCKS ARE UNSAFE AND VERY MUCH DEFECTIVE *TR

AT APPROX; 75000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD CHATTERING NOISE WHEN YOU USED YOUR KEY REMOTE TO UNLOCK OR TO LOCK.WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 10 MPH DURING EXCELLERATING AND DECELLERATING THIS WOULD ALSO HAPPEN. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS DOING THE SAME THING.I'M AFRAID TO LET A CHILD RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.I WAS CHECKING ONLINE FOR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS A INTERESTING WEB SITE THAT YOUR DEPT; NEEDS TO LOOK AT.THERE ARE MANY OTHER CR-V OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. EDMUNDS.COM>SUVS>.HONDA CR-V>HONDA POWER DOOR LOCKS. THIS FORUM HAS SOME PRETTY CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HONDA CR-V DOOR LOCKS AND THERE RELEVENT SAFETY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV IN SEPT 2011 AND RECENTLY THE CAR FAILED AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER RANDOMLY. A FEW DAYS AGO THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VSA LIGHT AS WELL. WHEN YOU HIT 20 MPH 40 MPH ETC THE VEHICLE STALLS AND JERKS. I ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM LOOKING AT THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT I COULDN'T FIND OR DO ANYTHING ON MY OWN TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN ORLANDO WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME JUST TO CHECK IT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MANY POSTINGS ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION ON DIFFERENT WEB SITES. IT SOUNDS TO ME AS A RECALL AND A MANUFACTURES RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATED THROUGH 7 OR 8 MPH FROM STOP. AFTER AWHILE, DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND INTERMITTENTLY THE DRIVER DOOR COULD NOT BE MANUALLY LOCKED (HEAVY RESISTANCE WHEN TRYING TO FLIP LATCH). ON A LESS FREQUENT BASIS, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT AUTO OR MANUALLY LOCK. FOR LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DOOR LOCK SOLENOIDS FIRE LIKE A MACHINE GUN WHENEVER THE DOORS ARE MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. SOME TIMES THEY ALL LOCK, OTHER TIMES ONE OR MORE OF THE DOORS WON'T. TOLERATED FOR MANY MONTHS AS DEALER WOULDN'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ONLY 1000 MILES AND A FEW DAYS PAST 12MO/36K COVERAGE AND DIDN'T WANT TO PAY DEALER ESTIMATED FIX AT UP TO 800 DOLLARS. NOW STARTING TO PICK UP GRANDCHILDREN FOR AFTER SCHOOL CARE AND NEED TO FIX. SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT RECALL? *TR

CAR WOULD NOT START:NO ENGINE TURNING, NO LIGHTS, ETC. THOUGHT I HAD A DEAD BATTERY, LOCKED CAR TO GET HELP (VIA KEY FOB) AND LIGHTS WENT ON ACKNOWLEDGING IT LOCKED. TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED FINE. RADIO WAS BLINKING AND HAD TO ENTER RADIO SECURITY CODE LIKE THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. DROVE CAR HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS MORNING CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN, FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCESS OF LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR WOULD START (NO BLINKING RADIO THOUGH). DROVE INTO WORK, STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, STARTED TO DRIVE (MOVED ABOUT 50 FEET) AND DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. GOOD SAMARITAN MESSED WITH IT AND MANAGED TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL SO IT COULD BE PUSHED TO SIDE OF ROAD. SAID THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN ENGAGED WHICH IS WHY IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK? FROM SIDE OF ROAD CAR STARTED FINE. I DROVE IT HOME WHERE NOW SITS IN THE GARAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL STRONGLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERAL FRONT END ALIGNMENTS. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THERE WAS A REPAIR KIT AVAILABLE FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT PROVIDING ANY ASSISTANCE TO THE CONTACT. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DECELERATING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT AFTER TEN MINUTES IT FINALLY RESTARTED. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V395000 ( POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK RADIAL 225/65/R17 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE AT THE PURCHASE OF THE TIRES WAS 64,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE ACTUATOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND COULD PREVENT EMERGENCY EXIT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR AN ADULT TO MANUALLY OVERIDE THE LOCK AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CHILD. ONE ACTUATOR FAILURE CAUSES MULTIPLE DOORS NOT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE HONDA DEALER WILL NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

IN SEPT 2009 AT APPROXIMATELY 58,500 MILES, SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER POWERING CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN. PER OWNERS MANUAL, TOOK CAR TO FAMILY HONDA DEALER IN RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CALIFORNIA TO INVESTIGATE (PRESUMABLY UNDER HONDACARE NO DEDUCTIBLE EXTENDED WARRANTY). SERVICE TECH FOUND TROUBLE CODE 81-43, AND REINITIALIZED/ RECALIBRATED THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR (OPDS) AND CHARGED ME $95 DUE TO THE DIAGNOSIS NOT BEING COVERED BY HONDACARE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSED HARDWARE FAILURE. SEPTEMBER 2011, APPROXIMATELY 95,000 MILES: SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AND REMAINED ON AFTER SUBSEQUENT POWER ON, POWER OFF CYCLES. APPROXIMATELY ONE DAY LATER (AND SEVERAL POWER CYCLES LATER), THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT WENT OUT THE FOLLOWING POWER ON/OFF CYCLE. LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON AGAIN. THERE IS NO COVER ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND I DO NOT USE IT FOR STORAGE WHEN DRIVING. *TR

THE INFO BUTTON ON MY NAVI STOPPED WORKING. I CAN SLIDE LEFT, BUT I CANNOT SLIDE UP, DOWN, OR RIGHT. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE VEHICLE BUT THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THE DOORS EVENTUALLY UNLOCKED AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCE A FAILURE IN WHICH IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK UNLESS ALLOWED TO REST FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH IN OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V ON THE BACK DRIVER SEAT. IT WAS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I WAS ON THE WAY BACK HOME WITH AN 8 WEEK OLD BABY . WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN DOOR I REALIZED THAT THE DOORS WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- I COULDN'T OPEN THEM AT ALL. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESULT. THE BABY I WAS CARING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER MANY TRIES, I USED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER DOORS AND THE TRUNK WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- JAMMED. I COULDN'T EVEN OPEN WITH THE KEY. I WAS SO SCARED AS I'M USING THAT CAR TO GO TO THE DOCTOR OR FOR SHOPPING PURPOSES. ALL THE TIME MY BABY IS WITH ME AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND WE WENT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA SERVICE- MCGRATH HONDA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY CAN FIX IT THE NEXT DAY FOR $500. THEY DID. THE NEXT DAY CAR WAS FIXED, BUT ON MY BACK WAY HOME I REALIZED THAT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE AND THEY FIX THE DOOR FOR FREE AS IT WERE THE THIRD DOOR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE CAR WILL BE ON FIRE? HOW I WILL ESCAPE WITH MY BABY IF THE DOORS ARE JAMMED? WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MY BABY IF THE SITUATION WILL REPEAT? *KB

ENGINE AND VSA WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON FOR OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V. HONDA DEALER SAID IT WAS OUR TIMING CHAIN AND THAT THIS WAS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH CARS OVER 100,000 MILES. HONDA SUPPOSEDLY HAD SOLVED THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR BELTS BY GOING TO THE CHAIN. OUR CAR HAD 98,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST TO FIX THIS WAS $1,600.00! DRIVING THE CR-V RIGHT AFTER THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED THE TPMS ALARM CAME ON. NOW WE HAVE TO PAY EVEN MORE TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND DUE TO HIGH REPAIR COSTS CANNOT GET FIXED RIGHT AWAY, SO LEFT DRIVING WITHOUT THIS SAFETY SYSTEM. TALKED TO DEALER WAS NO HELP AND HONDA OF AMERICA WAS NO HELP. THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE DID NOT CHANGE THE OIL AS WE SHOULD. THE HONDA CR-V MAINTENANCE BOOK SAID TO CHANGE OIL WHEN THE OIL CHANGE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, THIS IS WHAT WE DID EACH AND EVERY TIME, BUT HONDA SAID WE SHOULD CHANGE BEFORE THAT! WHY DO THEY STATE TO CHANGE WHEN WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IF THIS IS NOT TRUE? WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS RELIABLE AND LOW MAINTENANCE! *KB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, MY A/C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND FIRESTONE AUTOCARE. I WAS TOLD THE COMPRESSOR HAS BUSTED. THE TOTAL REPAIR WAS QUOTED AT US$1300. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CRVS AND I AM SURPRISE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS YET. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND DISGUSTING THAT IN THE TIME OF THE ECONOMY WE ARE FORCED TO BEAR THE COST OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. HONDA SEEMS TO GIVE YOU A RUN AROUND EXCUSE. I LIVE IN CHICAGO WHERE 9 MONTHS OUT OF 12 MONTHS YOU DO NOT NEED AN A/C. THIS IS MY 4TH SUMMER AND ADDING THE MATH, THE A/C LASTED JUST A LITTLE OVER 9 MONTHS. PLEASE GIVE THIS. *TR

BEFORE WE ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WE NOTICED A BURNING RUBBER SMELL RIGHT AFTER WE GOT MY HONDA CR-V. THOUGHT MAYBE THIS THE WAY IT SMELLS WHEN WE TRAVEL MOUNTAINS. WE LIVE IN A VERY MOUNTAINOUS AREA. FOUND OUT AFTER 83000 THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH PREMATURE FAILURE OF AC COMPRESSOR. SO THEN IT HAPPENS THE A C STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS OVER 107 DEGREES. I TOOK THE CAR THE NEAREST GARAGE, NO HONDA DEALERS COULD LOOK AT MY CAR FOR AT LEAST 1 WEEK. SO THE GARAGE I TOOK IT TOO SD THAT THEY NOTICED BLUE ON THE METAL OF THE COMPRESSOR HOUSING AND AROUND THE PULLEY. NO WEAR OR TEARING ON THE BELT THOUGH. THE GARAGE MECHANIC C SD THAT THE BLUE ON THE HOUSING MEANT THAT THE METAL ON THE HOUSING WAS GETTING REALLY HOT, WHICH WOULD ACCT OR THE SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER. I HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRED BECAUSE MY GARAGE CANNOT FIND AN AC COMPRESSOR IN NORTH AMERICA. SO LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS OR FIRES BUT TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

2007 HONDA CR-V AUTO DOOR LOCKS FAULTY. LOCKS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. HAZARD FOR CHILDREN IN BACK SEAT, POSSIBLE THEFT ISSUE AS WELL. *TT

REAR BRAKE PADS STUCK AND HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CR-V. I HAVE REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THIS VEHICLE. A THIRD DOOR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF NOT LOCKING. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY FOR THE DOOR REPAIR AND THEN I MIGHT GET A REFUND DEPENDING ON THE DISTRICT MANGERS CONSENT. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A HAZARD IF SOME HAS SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

2007 HONDA AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION. IN DECEMBER 2010 THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BACK DOOR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. HONDA MADE ME PAY FOR IT AND THEY REIMBURSED 1/2 SINCE I WAS PAST WARRANTY. NOW ITS APRIL 2011 AND HERE I AM AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS LOCKING THEN POPS OPEN AGAIN. IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. I AM AT HONDA AND IT IS GOING TO COST $238.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOOKS. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL OPEN TO CARJACKERS AS I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND, AND I HAVE NO CAPABILITY OF SECURING MY CAR AND THE ITEMS IN IT. THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FIRST AND THEN THEY MIGHT REFUND TO ME PART OF THE FEES. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THEIR DEFECTS. I CAN REQUEST THE OLD PART FOR THIS LAST CORRECTION. IF YOU WANT ME TO SEND IT TO YOU. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER SHIP HAD BEEN REPLACING THE DOOR LOCKS. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV POWER LOCKS ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVERSIDE REAR DOOR AND TRUNK LATCH. ALSO EVERYTIME I SLOW AND SPEED UP AGAIN THE LOCKS ARE TRYING TO RELOCK, CURRENT MILEAGE IS 51500. CALLED HONDA WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $115./HR TO FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND 500-600 TO FIX. ELECTRICAL POWER LOCKS SHOULD NOT GO BAD SHAME ON HONDA. *TR

HONDA 2007 SLID DURING ICY CONDITIONS HITTING A GUARDRAIL AND DAMAGING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED PINNING THE DRIVER'S HEAD BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE SIDE WINDOW RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION AND ABRASIONS TO THE HEAD AND FACE. FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

WARNING FOR TIRE SIGNAL CAME ON DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH TIRE PRESSURE (AGAIN). I WENT TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER FOR AIR AND PRESSURE CHECK ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT ALL 4 OF MY YOKOHAMA TIRES HAT ONE INCH PLUS OF DRY ROT. THESE TIRES ARE ABOUT ONE YEAR OLD, HAVE APPROX. 35,000 MILES ON THEM AND MY VEHICLE HAS AN OUTSTANDING SERVICE RECORD. COPIES OF RECEIPTS SHOW THAT EVERY 40,000 MILES I PURCHASED NEW TIRES. ALL WORK AND ALL PART PURCHASES HAVE BEEN DONE 100% AT HONDA DEALER-JACK MATIA IN ELYRIA, OHIO. THE ONLY SERVICE PERFORMED OUT OF THE DEALER IS TWICE A YEAR DETAIL SERVICE DONE AT A REPUTABLE DETAIL SHOP IN WESTLAKE, OHIO. UPON MY CONTACTING THE DEALER AND VISITING THEM, THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD BE MISSED AND NEVER WITNESSED "DRY ROT". THE RETURN/CREDIT PROCESS WITH THE DEALER AND TIRE RACK (HONDA'S DISTRIBUTOR) WAS AN INSULT ON TOP OF HAVING TO PURCHASE BRAND NEW TIRES AND MY CHOICE, A DIFFERENT BRAND. I EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT AND ANGER TO THE GENERAL MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSULTED. RESEARCH ON MY END INDICATES THAT THERE IS IN FACT DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THE TIRES AND DRY ROT AND THE I BELIEVE THE DEALER IS JUST AS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TIRES SINCE THEY SOLD THEM AND INSTALLED THEM FOR ME AND SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT IS ONE INCH AND HALF ON ALL OF THE TIRES. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE. NO HARM CAME TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE. HOWEVER, I FEEL I AM DUE COMPENSATION/REFUND FOR THIS PURCHASE AND THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO INSURE THAT NO HARM COMES

REAR DIFFERENTIAL NOISE WHEN BACKING AND TURNING, COULD ESCALATE TO A DANGEROUS HANDLING OF THE CAR. SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE TO TAKE MY HONDA CR-V 2007 TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME REASON. *TR

VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN MAKING HARD LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS AT SLOW SPEEDS. *TR

2007 HONDA CR-V. START MAKING NOISE AROUND 14,000 MILES. REAR TIRES WERE CUPPED ON OUTSIDE. WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. CAME WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, AND SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THOSE TIRES ARE CHEAP AND HE CAN SELL ME SOME BETTER TIRES. THIS A PROBLEM RELATED TO A LOT OF CR-V AND CIVIC MODELS. *TR
