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.

MY INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV'S FROM 2007 TO 2011. THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL.

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
