FOR OVER A YEAR, MY 2007 HONDA CR-V HAS HAD A LOCK ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION WHERE THE RIGHT YEAR PASSENGER DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCKS WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE CAR. MY 4 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE WE WERE IN MOTION WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK! ALSO, THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN I GOT BELOW AND ABOVE 10MPH AND MAKE A HUGE CLICKING SOUND. NOT ONLY CAN I ONLY DRIVE ONE OF MY NEPHEWS IN MY CAR AT A TIME AND THEY MUST SIT ON THE LEFT SIDE TO AVOID THEM OPENING THE DOOR AGAIN, EVERY NIGHT WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED AND ANYONE CAN GET IN THE CAR. ALSO, ANYONE IS ABLE TO JUMP IN MY CAR IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT, AND LIVING IN DC, THAT IS A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY! NOW TODAY WHEN I WENT TO GO TO WORK, BOTH OF MY FAB REMOTE ENTRY KEYS STOPPED WORKING AND I CANT GET IN MY CAR. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS HUGE SAFETY RISK AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF HONDA AND ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IF I WANT HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IT WILL COST OVER $1,000 FOR A PROBLEM CAUSED BY HONDA. I HAVE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER 2007 HONDA CR-V OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME LOCK ACTUATOR ISSUE AND FEEL THEIR SAFETY IS AT RISK FOR THEIR PASSENGERS AND FOR THE CAR IN GENERAL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FROM HONDA AND IF THIS SAFETY RISK IS BEING ADDRESSED. *TR

IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, THE DOOR LOCKS SOUND AS IF THEY ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY AND CONTINUOUSLY ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION AS I DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

JEFF WYLER JUST GAVE ME A STATEMENT FROM HONDA CORPORATION OFFICE STATING THAT IF A CUSTOMER COMPLAINS ABOUT A CLICKING NOISE DO NOT BOTHER TO FIX IT. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO IT IS A QUIRK WITH THE STARTER RELAY SYSTEM. JUST TELL THEM TO TURN THE KEY FASTER. I HAVE TURNED MY KEY THE SAME WAY FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SOUND. IF THIS IS A "KNOWN" QUIRK SINCE 2001 THEN WHY DON'T THEY GET AN ENGINEER TO DESIGN A NEW STARTER. I AM SURE THE STARTER IS GOING BAD IN THE CAR. IT NEVER DID THIS BEFORE, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT PERFORMANCE HONDA WHICH I TOOK IT TO AT THE ADVICE OF THE CASE MANAGER AT HONDA CORPORATION TOLD ME HE COULD MAKE ALL THE HONDAS ON HIS LOT MAKE THE SAME SOUND.

DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WILL AUTOMATICALLY RELOCK EVERYTIME YOU UNLOCK THE DOORS. IT STARTED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE PASSENGER DOOR. TO UNLOCK DOORS YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY HIT UNLOCK BUTTON, THEN YOU HAVE HALF A SECOND TO GET DOOR OPEN BEFORE IT LOCKS AGAIN ON ITS OWN. THE WHOLE CAR BE UNLOCKED BUT YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE FRONT DOORS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD SOME KIND OF EMERGENCY, THE FRONT DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK OR OPEN LONG ENOUGH TO GET OUT. MY KIDS HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING OUT, SO I WON'T LET THEM SIT IN FRONT SEAT ANYMORE. HOPING THAT THE BACK DOORS DON'T START ACTING UP. DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, I SEE THAT HONDA HAS HAD CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS FILED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. ON ONE SITE IT SAYS THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS IN LATE 2012, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY THING ELSE ABOUT A RECALL. *TR

DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK ALL FOUR DOORS. AS SOON AS YOU UNLOCK THEM, THEY LOCK AGAIN. YOU CAN NOT USE THE MANUAL UNLOCK BECAUSE IT SEEMS FROZEN AND CAN ONLY UNLOCK THE CAR USING THE KEY FOB AND THEN THEY LOCK AGAIN RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND MAKE IT PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL. ONLINE FORUMS ARE LOADED WITH HONDA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME AND/OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED EARLY 2013 REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. RESULTS, IF ANY, ARE NOT KNOWN. *TR

AFTER SHOPPING, USED CAR FOB TO UNLOCK DOORS. TAILGATE WAS STILL LOCKED. DRIVER SIDE SECOND ROW DOOR ALSO STILL LOCKED. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DOORS UNLOCKED FAILED. USED KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR. TRIED THE POWER LOCKS FROM THE INSIDE. OTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE CAR WAS STILL LOCKED. WENT TO DEALER, WHERE A TECH PHYSICALLY WRENCHED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO OPEN. FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS, THE POWER LOCKS CONSTANTLY "KACHUNKED" AS I WAS DRIVING, TRYING TO REPEATEDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. BACK TO DEALER, HAVING DISCOVERED THAT THE 2007 CR V HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS. DEALER CLAIMED TO BE SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS. NO, HONDA WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS A FLAW, AND I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE DOOR LOCKS FIXED. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS HUGELY DANGEROUS, THAT RANDOMLY LOCKING DOORS WHICH WOULDN'T UNLOCK WERE A GENUINE HAZARD. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL HONDA CORPORATE TO NO AVAIL. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS SUFFICIENTLY DANGEROUS TO WARRANT A RECALL. *TR

THE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AFTER BEING LOCKED. THE LOCK BUTTON ALSO WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS IN THE CAR. THEREFORE I HAVE 2 DOORS IN MY CALL THAT WILL NEVER LOCK. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT ALSO ANY PASSENGERS THAT I HAVE WITH ME. IT ALSO PUT ANY OF POSSESSIONS THAT ARE LEFT IN THE CAR VULNERABLE TO THEFT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN EARLIER MODELS AND HONDA HAS RECALLED THIS ISSUE, YET IN LATER MODELS THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATED FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A STOPLIGHT, MY VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED ALL THE DOORS (WHICH IT HAD DONE UPON LEAVING THE PARKING LOT). I THOUGHT THIS STRANGE. THEN I LOOKED AND SAW THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOCK UNLOCKED ITSELF AS SOON AS THE DOORS HAD LOCKED. WHEN I STOPPED AGAIN AT ANOTHER LIGHT, IT REPEATED THE PATTERN. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED, THE CAR LOCKED ALL DOORS, AND THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF AGAIN. THIS REPEATS EVERY TIME I STOP ANYWHERE. IT IS NOT SAFE. I AM UNABLE TO KEEP MY DOORS LOCKED WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, IF I LOCK MY CAR WHEN I LEAVE MY VEHICLE, THE ALARM WILL SOUND WITHIN MINUTES DUE TO THE CAR "UNLOCKING" ITSELF AGAIN. I AM UNABLE TO SECURE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAIN THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS CONTINUED. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS, SO I ENDANGER MYSELF AND MY FAMILY EVERY TIME WE TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING SECURE WITH PROPER DOOR LOCKS. *TR

AS REPORTED BY A NUMBER OF OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS, MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK UNLOCKS ITSELF. I FIRST NOTICED IT AFTER SOMETHING WAS STOLEN FROM MY CAR. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WAS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I NEEDED TO UNLOCK MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO GET INTO THE CAR. I NEVER CHECKED THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE CAR DOORS CONTINUED TO LOCK AS I WAS DRIVING. I LOOKED OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WOULD UNLOCK AS SOON AS IT LOCKED. SO NOW THE LOCK MECHANISM KEEPS TRYING TO LOCK THE DOOR AFTER EVERY STOP. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE FOR A FAULTY PART. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THREEFOLD: 1) PREVENTING ITEMS OR THE CAR FROM BEING STOLEN BECAUSE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED; 2) DRIVING IN A LARGE CITY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE COULD ENTER THE CAR WHILE I AM STOPPED IN UNSAFE LOCATIONS; 3) I PARK IN A GARAGE AND SOMETIMES LEAVE LATE IN THE EVENING. I NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO ONE IN MY CAR NOW BEFORE I ENTER IT. GM WAITED TOO LONG TO RECALL THEIR CARS. I AM ASKING HONDA TO BE MORE PROACTIVE SINCE THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT CURRENTLY PENDING FOR THIS ISSUE, SO THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY A LARGE NUMBER OF HONDA OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BUT MAY HAVE NOT REPORTED IT HERE. *TR

THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE LOCK ON THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY NOR WILL IT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE EXCEPT FOR ABOUT ONE SECOND WHEN THE REMOTE IS PRESSED. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY KIND OF EMERGENCY ANYONE IN THAT SEAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT. COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IT WILL COST ABOUT $300 TO FIX. THOUGHT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A WARNING TO OTHERS WITH KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTES. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE FIRST SIGN OF A DOOR LOCKING PROBLEM STARTED WITH MY REAR HATCH NOT OPENING. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND THE LOCKS KEEP CLICKING AS YOU DRIVE. MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TELLS ME AFTER DRIVERS PAY HONDA MANY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR THE PROBLEM RETURNS ON ANOTHER DOOR OR THE ACTUATOR THEY REPLACE FAILS AGAIN.THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BOTH A PASSENGER FALLING OUT OR A CRIMINAL GETTING IN AND ATTACKING SOMEONE OR STEALING THE CAR AND OR ITS CONTENTS. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AT RISK.THIS IS NOT A POTENTIAL PROBLEM, IT IS AN EXISTING PROBLEM FOR CRV, CIVIC AND ACCORD DRIVERS. *TR
