MY 2007 HONDA CR-V HAS HAD A LOCK ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION PASSENGER DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED/LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCKS WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE CAR, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK! ALSO, THE DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN I GOT BELOW 10MPH AND MAKE A HUGE CLICKING SOUND. I CAN NOT DRIVE ONE OF MY NEPHEWS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TO AVOID SAFETY CONCERNS, EVERY NIGHT WHEN I LOCK MY CAR, THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED OR LOCKED....DEPENDING ON IT'S MOOD. 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 $700 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. I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER DOOR BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL THE PASSENGER DOOR AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR A REIMBURSEMENT.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO OUR FRONT PASSENGER AND ONE OF THE REAR DOORS WOULD NOT REMAIN UNLOCKED OR LOCKED, DEPENDING ON THEIR MOOD. NOR COULD WE UNLOCK THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. WE HAD TO GET SOMETHING FIXED - THE LOCK ACTUATOR I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED. A FEW MONTHS BACK, SEP/OCT 2014, OUR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT REMAIN UNLOCKED FOR MORE THAN TWO SECONDS, THOUGH WE COULD LOCK/UNLOCK FROM THE FOB OR THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER SIDE LOCK CONTROLS. SINCE DECEMBER, WE CAN NOT EVEN USE THE OUTSIDE KEY LOCK, AND CAN ONLY UNLOCK THE CAR FROM THE FOB, AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STILL WILL NOT REMAIN UNLOCKED. NOW I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OUR 2007 CRV. BEFORE I BRING MY CAR IN FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ON SOMETHING HONDA GOT WRONG, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. AS THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.. CAN NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR TO GET OUT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, AND COULD NOT GET INTO THE CAR IF OUR FOB FAILS, WHICH I HEAR ALSO HAPPENS, HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS. *TR

WE GOT SOME OF THESE ACTUATORS FIXED BEFORE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED - BUT SINCE THEN, THEY HAVE FAILED ONCE AGAIN AND NOW WE BEYOND THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD. WE SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS BEEN IGNORING AND NOW HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO COMPLAIN TO YOU FINE GOVERNMENT PEOPLE TO MAKE THEM TAKE CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE US A SAFE VEHICLE THAT WE CAN LOCK. ALL WE WANT IS FOR HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON OUR CAR WITH DOOR ACTUATORS THAT DO NOT LEAVE US VULNERABLE TO CRIMINALS. PLEASE MAKE IT SO THAT WE CAN LOCK THE DOORS ON OUR CAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 OUT OF 5 OF THE DOOR LOCKS. THE FIRST DOOR LOCK TO STICK WAS THE FRONT LOCK ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR. IT STUCK TIGHT AND WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. THE LOCK WAS STUCK SHUT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. IF WE HAD GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT QUICKLY, MY PASSENGER WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHICH MAKES IT A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONE BY ONE, ALL THREE LOCKS EITHER LOCKED UP OR STARTED MAKING THE NOISE PROCEEDING THE LOCK UP ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I FELT LIKE THE ISSUE WAS SO DANGEROUS, AS I HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS WHO RIDE IN THE CAR DAILY, THAT I PAID TO HAVE THEM FIXED. NOW THE FRONT DRIVERSIDE DOOR AND BACK DOOR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN AND THE PROCESS IS BEGINNING AGAIN. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I MAY HAVE TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR A NEW CAR TO ESCAPE THIS PROBLEM! I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA! *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS ARE LOCKING OR UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THEIR DOORS AT CERTAIN TIMES. *TR

DEAR NHTSA, I OWN 2007 CRV EX-L . I'M EXPERIENCING A PECULIAR PROBLEM IN MY CRV SOMETIMES THE DOOR GETS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY OR WHEN WE TRY TO OPEN IT THROUGH REMOTE KEYS, DOOR GETS LOCKS IMMEDIATELY WITH IN A SECOND. ONE TIME MY KID WAS INSIDE AND ACCIDENTALLY I CLOSED THE DOOR AND IT GOT LOCKED. I WAS REALLY SCARED BUT LUCKILY AFTER FEW TRIES, IT GOT OPENED. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, IF THIS HAPPENS IN A CRUCIAL TIME WHEN WE WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND ALL ARE INSIDE THE CAR.WHEN I SAID THIS TO MY FRIEND WHO OWNS 2008 CRV, HE SAID THAT HE IS ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HE REFERRED ANOTHER FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I THINK WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO AVOID ANY TERRIBLE SITUATION IN FUTURE. IF NEEDED I CAN SHARE TWO OF MY FRIENDS INFORMATION RIGHT NOW. WHEN I SEARCHED INTERNET, I FOUND LOT OF PEOPLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM PARTICULARLY WITH 2007 TO 2011 ALL HONDA MODELS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE POWER LOCKS ARE LOCKING ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER I UNLOCK IT VIA THE KEY FOB OR THE UNLOCK/LOCK SWITCH INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY BECAUSE IT IS VERY RESISTANT TO MOVING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS AN ACTUATOR FAILURE AND IS COMMON IN 2007 HONDA CRV. *TR

INITIALLY, OVER A YEAR AGO, THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WOULD MAKE A HIGH PITCHED HUMMING/WHINING NOISE WHEN ACTIVATED, BUT THE DOOR LOCKS STILL WORKED PROPERLY BACK THEN. 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. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING NOISE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED 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. HONDA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AS THERE IS AT LEAST ONE LAWSUIT SEEKING CLASS CERTIFICATION IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY, BUT HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SEE HTTP://WWW.CHIMICLES.COM/HONDA-AND-ACURA-DOOR-LOCK-ACTUATOR-FAILURE. A SIMILAR POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PROBLEM ON EARLIER YEARS HONDA CRVS WAS WIDESPREAD ALSO ACCORDING TO INFORMATION THAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. *TR
