IT STARTED ON THE BACK DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. IT ALWAYS POPPED BACK UNLOCKED. EVERY TIME I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AFTER BEING STOPPED A LIGHT OR SLOWED DOWN FOR A SPEED BUMP, ETC. THE DOORS ALL TRIED TO RELOCK TO GET THAT ONE DOOR LOCKED, BUT IT WOULD JUST POP BACK OPEN AGAIN. THEN, IN THE LAST MONTH MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. NOW MY LOCKS HAVE GONE HAYWIRE. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF ALL THE DOORS WILL LOCK. WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THEM THEY AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK IN 2 SECONDS. I HAVE TO ALWAYS KEEP MY KEYS WITH ME FOR FEAR OF THEM GETTING LOCKED IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I STUCK A SPARE UNDERNEATH THE CAR BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY MY 1 YR OLD GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH MY KEYS!

BOTH OF THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SOME TIMES WHEN YOU TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, IN OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE CAR THE DOORS STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS CAUSING THE ALARM TO ARM ITSELF AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS WITH THE CONTROL REMOTE. SOME TIMES THE ALARM GETS ARMED WHILE WE ARE IN THE CAR AND IT WON?T START DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ACTUATORS. IN VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE DOORS REMAINED LOCKED WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAR. THE UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, EVEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE LOCK MANUALLY WONT WORK. THE ACTUATORS STAY LOCKED!!! I?M PRETTY SURE THE BACK DOORS WILL START FAILING TOO ANY TIME SOON. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO THIS PROBLEM RIGHT A WAY, OR MAYBE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR POOR PARTS QUALITY. *TR

FRONT DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER APPROX. 9 MONTHS ALL DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. ALL DOORS WOULD LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, LOCKING ALL OCCUPANTS INSIDE. WOULD LOCK WHEN CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS MANUALLY WITH KEY FROM OUTSIDE. CAR WAS STOLEN THEN RECOVERED. WHATEVER WAS USED TO STEAL IT MUST HAVE RESET COMPUTER. BECAUSE FOR APPROX.1 WEEK AFTER RECOVERY DOOR LOCKS WORKED FINE. NOW IT IS BACK TO THE PROBLEM AS BEFORE. MY 1 YR. OLD GRANDSON WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR A BRIEF TIME DUE TO THIS ISSUE, LUCKILY ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WAS DOWN AND MY DAUGHTER CRAWLED THRU. I HAVE READ THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006 HONDA CRV, BUT NOT FOR THE 2007. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT LEFT OVER DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM 2006 MODELS WERE USED IN 2007. I AM TOLD I COULD HAVE TO PAY UP TO $900.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I NOT ONLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, BUT I DON'T ACCEPT THAT IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA I'VE OWNED, AND MY LAST UNLESS SOMEONE WOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU *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.

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

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

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 WASHER PROBLEM A SAFETY HAZARD, FOR SURE. OTHER MFG OF ASIAN CARS COULD BE USING FOOD GRADE WIRING. IF THE MICE CAN'T BE STOPPED, THEY COULD TOTALLY DESTROY THESE NEWER TYPE CARS, LOOKING FOR SHELTER, WITH A BUILT-IN FOOD SUPPLY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A FIRE HAZARD, ALSO, IN MY OPINION, DUE TO CAUSING A SHORT-CIRCUIT IN THE WIRING SYSTEMS. *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
