LAST FALL, THE DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ON MY 2007 HONDA CRV BEGAN TO LOCK BACK AFTER UNLOCKING IT TO ALLOW MY SON INTO THE CAR. IT LOCKS BACK WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS OF UNLOCKING IT WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY. SINCE THIS TIME, THE OTHER 3 DOORS OPERATE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE DOORS LOCK BACK WITHIN SECONDS AFTER UNLOCKING. ON MONDAY, JULY 15, MY CAR DID NOT START. WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD, I TRIED TO GET BACK IN MY CAR BUT COULD NOT...THE DOORS WERE LOCKED...ALL FOUR OF THEM ALONG WITH THE HATCHBACK. I RETURNED INSIDE MY HOME TO RETRIEVE MY SPARE CAR KEY. THE KEY DID NOT UNLOCK MY DOOR. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT LUCK. THERE IS ONLY ONE KEY ENTRY POINT WITH THE MODEL I HAVE AND THE KEY DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO ENTER THE CAR THROUGH THE SUNROOF, WHICH I HAD LEFT OPEN THE PREVIOUS EVENING. I THEN REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY WITH THIS KEY. IT DID NOT OPEN THE DOOR, EITHER. NEITHER DOES THE VALET KEY. THE ONLY WAY I CAN OPEN MY CAR IS WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $800-$1200 TO FIX. I DO NOT THINK THIS IS RIGHT - I SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN MY CAR WITH A KEY. I CAN GET BY WITHOUT THE KEYLESS ENTRY BUT ALL CARS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR YEARS, SHOULD OPEN MANUALLY WITH A KEY. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 WITH 18,000. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS BEGAN TO REALIZE THERE WAS A DEFINITE PULL TO THE RIGHT. WENT TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND MENTIONED THIS PULL. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY PULL. DURING A FINAL VISIT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PULL AND THEY SUGGESTED AN ALIGNMENT. I REPLACED MY TIRES AND THIS HELPED SOME WHAT, BUT THE PULL STILL EXISTS. AFTER CHECKING VARIOUS SITES, I'VE COME TO REALIZE PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS A COMMON ISSUE IN HONDA CR-V'S. *TR

THE LOCK ON MY RIGHT PASSENGER AND REAR/TRUNK DOORS LOCKED AND WERE UNABLE TO UNLOCK (COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY EITHER). THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $860.00 TO REPAIR BOTH LOCKS. AFTER CONTACTING AMERICA HONDA, THE PRICE WAS DROPPED TO $401.00. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEMS WERE THE FUSE BOX PROBLEM AND THE DOOR LATCH ACTUATOR. I FEEL THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A TODDLER WHO COULD HAVE BEEN OR MAY BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR WHEN THE DOORS LOCK. THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT A MAINTENANCE THAT I NEGLECTED TO SERVICE OR UPKEEP THEREFORE I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING AND THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE I'VE READ ENOUGH COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE CRV DOOR LOCKS.

THE CRV LOCKS THE DOORS AND TAILGATE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED. OUR CRV LOCKED ITSELF ACCORDING TO THIS PROTOCOL. WE THEN PARKED THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO EXIT THE CAR. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO MANUALLY OVERRIDE THIS PROBLEM. WE EXITED VIA THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE TAILGATE WAS ALSO JAMMED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SOLD IT, AND HE HAS TOLD US THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERRIDE THE LOCKING MECHANISM ONCE IT HAS JAMMED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. REPAIR WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR HAS TO BE DIS-ASSEMBLED FROM THE INSIDE. THE ABSENCE OF A MANUAL OVERRIDE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE IN THE VEHICLE, WHETHER THE IGNITION IS ON OR OFF...IF WE HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON-IT LOCKS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE INCASE OF AN EMERGENCY. WE CONTACTED OUR HONDA DEALER WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS THE DRIVER DOOR ACTUATOR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH WE FOUND THIS TO A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND A BIG ENOUGH PROBLEM TO MAKE THE TV NEWS IN TWO DIFFERENT STATES. BEFORE FILING THIS COMPLAINT, I CALLED HONDA CORP AND EXPLAINED OUR ISSUE WITH THE CR-V AND FOUND THEIR RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE TO BE VERY BLAZAY. I EXPLAINED OUR RESEARCH FINDINGS AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE TO SEE IF IT IS A HONDA DEFECT OR OUR PROBLEM. THERE IS A CHARGE FOR THAT AS WELL. ALSO IN DOING THE RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT DOING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ALL THE DOORS WILL EVENTUALLY NEED A NEW ACTUATOR. THE PRICE IS $350 OR MORE PER DOOR.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT THE LOCK ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR OF MY 2007 HONDA CR-V WOULD ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE LOCK SHIFTED EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT, THEN WOULD CONTINUE TO UNLOCK AND RE-LOCK EVERY TIME I WENT ABOVE/BELOW 15 MPH. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, HOWEVER, THE LOCK WOULD RE-ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD REMAIN LOCKED. NOW THE LOCK ON THIS DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE LOCK ALSO DOES NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. THE REMOTE LOCK DOES NOT WORK, EVEN THOUGH THE HORN BEEPS AND THE LOCKS ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE AS IF THE VEHICLE DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED AND REMAIN LOCKED. THIS MORNING (JULY 1, 2013) THE BACK REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAD PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED THIS ISSUE DURING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT, AT WHICH TIME A HONDA-CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN AT LEHIGH VALLEY HONDA TOLD ME THAT HE HAD "NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM" AND IT WOULD "PROBABLY JUST CLICK BACK INTO PLACE." I LATER MADE MENTION OF THE SAME PROBLEM DURING MY INSPECTION TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE THAT DAY. I JUST SPOKE WITH THE SAME LOCATION AND HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR JULY 5 TO SEE IF THEY CAN "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM. THE MANAGER TOLD ME HE DIDN'T WANT TO "DIAGNOSE THIS OVER THE PHONE" BUT INSIST THEY GIVE THE VEHICLE A COMPLETE WORKUP -- WHICH I AM FINE WITH, SO LONG AS I AM NOT BEING CHARGED FOR LABOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY REAL SAFETY ISSUE, AS DOOR LOCKS THAT BECOME DISENGAGED WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING WOULD PUT ANYONE IN FEAR OF HAVING SMALL CHILDREN OR PETS IN THE BACK SEAT. I HOPE HONDA SEES IT NECESSARY TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE ACTUATOR, WHICH IS WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE CHIEF COMPLAINT AMONG OVER CR-V OWNERS. *TR

HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING HAPPENED, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. LATER THE OTHER BACK DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, I HONESTLY DON'T REMEMBER. WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME, THEY QUOTED A PRICE FOR REPAIR WHICH MY HUSBAND FELT WAS TOO HIGH, SO HE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE. WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS (MAYBE APRIL OF 2013), THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR ALSO CAME DOWN WITH THE SAME UNLOCKING PROBLEM. LAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 26, 2013, THE SIMPLE CLICKING SOUND WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE UNLOCKING ACTION WAS REPLACED WITH A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING FROM A STANDING STILL SITUATION TO MOVING FORWARD. I SAW THIS MORNING THAT IT HAPPENED AT 10 MPH, BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES CONSECUTIVELY. THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED, SO THE DOOR COULD BE OPENED WHILE IN MOTION, OR IT COULD BE ENTERED BY ANYONE AT ANY TIME. I KNOW MINE IS NOT THE ONLY CAR OF THIS MODEL TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ON JUNE 10, 2013 I BROUGHT MY 2007 CRV INTO HONDA NORTH, DANVERS, MA TO GET MY ANNUAL INSPECTION & A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. I MENTIONED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WHICH WAS STARTING TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THE DIAGNOSTIC UNCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY ACTUATOR AND ON 6/28/13 I HAD THIS REPLACED FOR $325. ON 6/29/13, ONE DAY LATER ALL "4" DOORS HAD PROBLEMS. MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH IT RUNNING WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE DRIVER DOOR TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE HATCH BACK. WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR, ALL "4" DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY AND MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WERE LOCKED INSIDE!!! I CAN NO LONGER USE THE REMOTE KEY TO OPEN THE DOORS, WHEN I MANUALLY OPEN THE DOORS I HAVE 2 SECONDS BEFORE ALL "4" DOORS LOCK TO GET INSIDE. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CHILDREN WILL GET LOCKED INSIDE AGAIN OR IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY THEY WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ACTUATOR FAILURE BEFORE THERE ARE FURTHER INCIDENTS OR FATALITIES BECAUSE OF THIS!! SO FAR I HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME & MONEY ON REPAIRS AND I WANT PEACE OF MIND THAT I HAVE PROPERLY FUNCTIONING LOCKS. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED. IT WILL UNLOCK BY ITSELF AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AT MORE THE 10 MPH THE LOCK WILL CYCLE BETWEEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS OF A CR-V APPEAR TO BE HAVING. A PASSENGER MUST THAN RIDE WITH THE DOOR UNLOCKED AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO, THE CAR CAN'T BE SECURED WHEN PARKED. HONDA CORP. IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORT TO CORRECT IT. HONDA CORP. STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY MILEAGE(36,000) IT IS THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. TO ME THIS SOUNDS MORE LIKE A DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

ON MONDAY JUNE 24, 2013, I PUT MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, FASTENED THEIR CAR SEATS, WALKED AROUND TO MY DRIVER DOOR TO FIND IT LOCKED. MY CHILDREN WERE LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. (THANK GOODNESS I WAS STILL AT HOME AND WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE SPARE KEY) THE CAR IS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING ITSELF WITHIN SECONDS OF THE UNLOCK BUTTON BEING PRESSED ON THE REMOTE. IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AT THIS POINT (JULY 1, 2013) THIS AGAIN POSES A LARGE HAZARD TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN IN A CAR WHOSE DOORS UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY DEFECT! AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY COMMON SAFETY MALFUNCTION IN 2007 CRV'S, YET HONDA HAS NOT MADE A RECALL. I GUESS THEY ARE NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. *TR

THE LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT STAY LOCKED. THEY WILL UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHILE IT IS ON. IT ALSO DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHILE IT IS OFF. ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AFFECTED. *TR

THE PASSENGERS AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WITH LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, THEN AFTER 2 SECONDS IT WILL UN-LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN APPX 3 WEEKS AGO. WE CANNOT LOCK THE PASSENGERS DOOR ANYTIME (I.E. DURING DRIVING AND/OR PARKED IN THE CARPORT). *TR

THE FRONT 2 DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF CAR OR ALLOW ME TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE IS A VERY BIG SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA DEALERSHIP WANTS $400.00 PER DOOR TO FIX. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS TO RECALL. *TR

THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HATCH DOOR WERE LOCKED SHUT. I COULD NOT OPEN EITHER DOOR WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. I WAS CONCERNED THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGER IF WE WERE EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. I DID HAVE BOTH DOORS REPAIRED. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE REAR DOOR STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHENEVER THE DOORS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE ALL THE DOORS AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS CONCERNED THE DOORS WOULD LOCK ME OUT ONE DAY. I DO MAKE FREQUENT CAR TRIPS TO SEE MY FAMILY IN ANOTHER CITY AND I DID NOT WANT TO GET LOCKED OUT WHILE ON ROUTE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THOSE TWO DOORS REPAIRED FOR ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE CRV'S BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. *TR

MY DOOR LOCKS ON THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP IT FROM DOING THIS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE DEALER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I THEN ASKED THEM HOW I COULD LOCK THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICEMEN SENT ME ON MY WAY AND SAID THERE WAS NO WAY TO DO SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED WITH EACH OF THE DOORS. THE LATEST IS THAT THE CAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS THE CONSOLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND GET OUT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT, ESPECIALLY IF THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN A CAR FIRE. IN ADDITION, WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THEM FROM OPENING THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO HONDA SIX TIMES REGARDING THE DIFFERENT DOORS AND EACH TIME HAVE HAD TO FIGHT WITH THEM REGARDING FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS FIXED WITHOUT A QUESTION, BUT EACH ADDITIONAL TIME I HAVE HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS AND ARGUE WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD WORK AND WHEN YOU REVIEW DIFFERENT FORUMS AND BLOGS ON LINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
