ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

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

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

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO CHOOSE FROM.... OUR CRV ... GRANDSON CLOSED THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH THE KEYS IN CAR AND IT LOCKED.. TRIED TO UNLOCK DOOR WITH SPARE KEYS AND IT WOULDN'T WORK.. NOT MANUALLY OR WITH THE PUSH BUTTONS ON KEYS.... DROPPED MY GRANDDAUGHTER OFF FOR SWIM CLASS AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH BUTTON INSIDE CAR AND IT LOCKED AGAIN BEFORE I COULD OPEN DOOR.. TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAR WOULD NOT STAY UNLOCKED.. FINALLY, HAD TO USE ONE HAND TO UNLOCK DOOR AND THE OTHER HAND ON HANDLE TO OPEN IT BEFORE IT LOCKED AGAIN... IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET MYSELF AND OR GRANDKIDS OUT OF THE CAR FAST ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM????? HONDA, I FOUND OUT HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2007 AND CONTINUES TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED... NOT LIKE WHAT GM DID... LETS GET THIS FIXED AND RIGHT BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO AMERICANS !!!!!! *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

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK. WHEN I PRESS LOCK EITHER BY THE DRIVER SIDE OR ON MY KEY FOB, THE LOCK WOULD CLOSE, BUT THEN REOPEN AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. ANYONE CAN OPEN MY CAR AND STEAK THINGS INSIDE. VERY UNSAFE. *TR

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

THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS AND DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS SEEM TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. THE LOCKS WILL RANDOMLY UNLOCK AND LOCK MILES INTO A DRIVE. WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED WITH THE SIDE DOOR BUTTON ON EITHER THE DRIVERS SIDE OR PASSENGERS SIDE THE ACTUATOR MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE. WHEN THE KEY IS USED TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE THE ACTUATOR MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE AS WELL. *TR

LAST WEEK I GO TO LOCK MY CAR AND IS KEEP PUSHING LOCK ON MY CLICKER AND IT NEVER BEEPS. SO I GO BACK TO MY CAR AND LOOK AND ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKING EXCEPT FOR MY DRIVERS SIDE. I END UP MANUALLY LOCKING IT AND WHEN I COME OUT IT WORKS FINE. NOW TODAY (THREE DAYS LATER) IT IS DOING IT AGAIN EXPECT THIS TIME IT LOCKS EXTREMELY FAST. I HIT UNLOCK TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND IF I DO NOT GET OUT FAST ENOUGH THE DOOR LOCKS ON ITS OWN WHILE ALL THE OTHER DOORS STAY UNLOCKED. *TR

STEERING
2007 HONDA CR-V MAKING WHINING NOISE DURING TURNS. TOPPED OFF POWER STEERING FLUID WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS. EVENTUALLY TOOK CAR IN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT I NEED NEW POWER STEERING HOSE AND RACK AND PINION SYSTEM. WITHOUT REPLACING BOTH, THE PROBLEM WILL ONLY GET WORSE. I SEE A NUMBER OF OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED REGARDING STEERING ISSUES WITH THE 2007 HONDA CR-V. *TR

THE FIRST SIGN OF A DOOR LOCKING PROBLEM STARTED WITH MY REAR HATCH NOT OPENING. 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.

THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IN PARTICULAR WILL INITIALLY LOCK THEN SLOWLY UNLOCK WITHIN 2 SECONDS AND THE FRONT DOOR WILL SOMETIMES JUST NOT LOCK AT ALL, ALMOST LIKE IT IS STUCK. *JS

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHILE DRIVING. ONE DAY MY SON HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE AS SOON AS HE UNLOCKED THE DOOR IT WOULD LOCK AGAIN. CONCERNS I HAVE ARE SOMEONE GETTING IN MY CAR WHILE I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT, ETC. OR A CHILD OPENING THE DOOR FROM INSIDE WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE CAR IS MOVING, IT WILL STILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ON ITS OWN. *TR
