  1. Electrical system, Latches/locks/linkages, Jun 17, 2014

    WHEN I UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS - THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK OPENED BUT THEN RETRACTED AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN - I CLICKED THE OPEN SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR - BUT THEN THE SWITCH SEEMED TO JAM AGAIN - FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THE ACTUATOR IS THE CAUSE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ISSUE - IF THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY - AT THE VERY LEAST IT IS FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO REMEMBER TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR AS SOON AS IT IS ACTIVATED OTHERWISE IT WILL RETRACT AND NOT OPEN. I HAVE IN THE INTERIM TRIED APPLYING SOME WHITE LITHIUM GREASE TO THE INSIDE AND IT APPEARS TO HELP TEMPORARILY - BUT THE ACTUATOR WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TRYING TO INQUIRE IF THIS SHOULDN'T BE A RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR FROM HONDA..... *TR

AS A SENIOR FEMALE I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET 10 40LB BAGS OF SMELLY WET FERTILIZER OVER THE PASSENGER SEATS AND OUT A PASSENGER DOOR. THE NEXT DAY I FOUND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND THE LOCKS KEEP CLICKING AS YOU DRIVE. TWO HONDA DEALERS WE CALLED OFFER NOTHING BUT AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. 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

    DOORS IN VEHICLE LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEM APPEARS TO HAPPEN AROUND THE SPEED OF 15 MPH, BOTH WHILE ACCELERATING AND BREAKING, IE: SLOWING DOWN TO EVENTUAL STOP. WHILE THIS OCCURS, IT IS POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, EVEN AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. LOCK "SOUNDS" ARE ALSO HEARD AS THE LOCKS ENGAGE, AND DISENGAGE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND WE ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE CAR; BOTH WITH THE BUTTONS ON EITHER THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE, OR THE BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB, THE DRIVERS SIDE LOCK MAKES AN UNUSUAL SOUND, LIKE THE DOOR IS ATTEMPTING TO LOCK, BUT SOMETHING IS "OFF TRACK". WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS UNABLE TO LOCK. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE CANNOT SET THE ALARM ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH ALLOWS ANYONE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AT THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE HATCHBACK. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME. FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE SHOWS THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MALFUNCTION IN MOST HONDA CRVS BETWEEN THE YEARS 2007-2010. USUALLY OCCURS ON OR AROUND THE 50K MILE MARK, WHEN THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. BECAUSE HONDA WILL SUPPLY CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ACTUATOR AS ALREADY EQUIPPED IN THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED, AND EVENTUAL REPEAT OF SAME DEFECTS OCCUR. *JS

    THE DRIVERS DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THEMSELVES IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING (WITHIN 2 SECONDS). THE ACTUATORS IN BOTH DOORS SEEM TO BE STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AS THEY CAN EASILY BECOME LOCKED IN THE CAR. THE DRIVERS DOOR IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE BECAUSE ONCE IT LOCKS ITSELF IT TRIGGERS ALL OTHER DOORS TO LOCK THEMSELVES AS WELL EFFECTIVELY LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE DOOR UNLOCKS. WHILE RUNNING, KEYS IN THE IGNITION, NO KEYS, DOESN'T MATTER. WILL COST ROUGHLY $250 PER DOOR TO REPAIR AND BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGE YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST OEM PARTS. *TR

    ON OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING LOCKED, NO MATTER HOW IT IS LOCKED. THIS HAPPENS WITH THE CAR IN MOTION, STOPPED, WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY LOCKED. THE DOOR WILL ALSO LOCK WHILE DRIVING BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK ITSELF. THIS IS ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM. THE UNLOCKING OF THE DOOR ALSO DISENGAGES THE ALARM. I CAN LOCK THE DOOR AND SET THE ALARM AND WITHIN A SECOND, CAN OPEN WITH DOOR WITH NO ALARM SOUNDING AT ALL. SO WITH THE DOOR UNLOCKING, MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN HARMS WAY WHEN THEY'RE STOPPED AS THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP SOMEONE FROM ENTERING THAT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR INTO THE ONLY EMPTY SEAT IN THE CAR AND DOING BODILY HARM TO THEM OR STEALING THE CAR AND LEAVING THEM WHERE EVER THEY ARE. THIS ALSO MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE THE CAR WHEN AWAY FROM HOME AS BOTH THE LOCK AND ALARM ARE DISENGAGED MAKING IT TOO EASY FOR ANY CRIMINAL LOOKING FOR A TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY. THIS MEANS IN A 24 HOUR DAY, MY CAR, WHILE PARKED AND EMPTY OR FILLED WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE, IS ONLY SECURED FOR LITERALLY A FEW SECONDS. BY PROXY, THAT MEANS MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE ONLY SECURE FOR LESS THAN THAT. *TR

    WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA CRV AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR LOCKS. THEY WILL CLICK NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO...EVERYTIME A STOP IS MADE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THEY RECLICK. IT CAN BE A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, OR JUST A BRIEF STOP AND WE WILL HEAR A CLICKING SOUND LIKE THEY ARE RELOCKING. WE HAVE OFTEN NOTICED THAT WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO ENTER THE DRIVER DOOR OR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR THE UNLOCK MECHANISM ON THE KEY OR DRIVER DOOR HAS TO BE HIT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME FOR A PERSON TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO HEAR THESE CLICKS OVER AND OVER AND TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH TRYING TO GET INTO THE CAR LIKE THIS, THERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE OF SAFETY. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR (BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT) WILL UNLOCK ITSELF AFTER THE CAR IS IN MOTION. YOU CAN HEAR THE REAR DOOR CLICK TO UNLOCK AND IT WILL SHOW ORANGE. WHAT IS EVEN MORE ALARMING IS THAT THE REAR DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION EVEN AFTER THE DOORS HAVE BEEN MANUALLY LOCKED BY THE DRIVER PUSHING THE LOCK BUTTON! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS MY CHILDREN AGES 7 AND 9 RIDE IN THE BACKSEAT OF OUR CRV. *TR

    MY HONDA CR-V 2007 JUST STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK SYSTEM. I STARTED TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM PROBABLY IN NOVEMBER 2013. THE CAR LOCKING DEFAULT SET-UP WAS AT 15MPH (MEANING EVEN IF I FORGET TO LOCK THE DOORS, THEY WILL BE LOCKED WHEN THE CAR REACH 15MPH). HOWEVER, ONE OF THE DOOR JUST UNLOCK ALL BY ITSELF RIGHT-AFTER IT GET LOCKED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU HAVE KIDS IN YOUR CAR. I REALIZED MANY CR-V OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HONDA DECIDED NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

    PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS LESS THAN A SECOND AFTER BEING UNLOCKED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR

    MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. EACH TIME I LOCK IT, ALL THE OTHER DOORS STAY LOCKED EXCEPT THIS DOOR. I CAN NOT MANUALLY LOCK IT, THEREFORE MY CAR IS NOW SUBJECT TO VANDALISM OR THEFT. I AM A SINGLE FEMALE AND THIS TERRIFIES ME THAT WHEN I AM SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT LIGHT SOMEONE COULD EASILY ATTACK ME OR TRY TO STEAL MY CAR. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR
