POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE GROCERY STORE, I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED ALMOST HITTING THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR (AND MY BRAKES ARE FAIRLY NEW)! ALMOST SCARED ME TO DEATH! I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR GETS SERVICED REGULARLY BY THE DEALER. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE FOR FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND NEXT TIME SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR WORSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
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

ON 08/09/2013 I PARKED MY HONDA CRV IN MY DRIVEWAY AND LOCKED MY CAR WITH MY KEYLESS REMOTE. ONE HOUR LATER OUR FAMILY DECIDED TO GO OUT TO DINNER. WE WENT OUT TO OUR CAR AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN. TIRED THE KEY IN THE DOOR AND TRIED THE KEYLESS REMOTE ALSO TRIED THE SPARE KEYLESS REMOTE, WOULD NOT OPEN. AT 9:30 P.M. WE CALL AAA TO OPEN THE CAR, AT 10 P.M. AAA SHOWED UP AND OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. HE GOT THE DOOR OPEN, WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER IN THE MORNING. DURING THE NIGHT, THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. I NEEDED TO GO TO WORK, HAD TO GET A RIDE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. MY HUSBAND WAITED 3 HOURS FOR A TOW-TRUCK TO SHOW UP TO TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. WE WERE VERY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHERE WE LIVE THE TEMPERATURE DURING THE DAY IN AUGUST RUNS FROM 95 DEGREES TO 110 DEGREES, IF THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY AND CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR, THIS COULD CAUSE DEATH.

SEAT BELTS
I WAS STOPPED AT A MARKET AND CLOSED MY DOOR IN A NORMAL FASHION. . THE SEAT BELT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DID NOT RETRACT, AND THE METAL BUCKLE JAMMED IN THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND BROKE THE LOCK. THE DOOR LOCK WAS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I DROVE MY CAR TO THE AIRPORT HONDA DEALERSHIP IN LOS ANGELES CA. STEERING WITH MY LEFT HAND AND HOLDING THE DOOR WITH MY RIGHT HAND,. AN INTAKE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP BY THE NAME OF [XXX], PUT A SCREW DRIVER IN THE MECHANISM AND UNJAMMED THE LOCK. I THOUGHT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. MY DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS I COULD NOT AFFORD THE ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS AT THE TIME . I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED AFTER THE INSPECTION AND REPAIRS WERE MADE. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS IN THE AMOUNT OF $307.00. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH EVERY HOOP THAT HONDA REQUESTED OF ME, I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED IN CASH, HONDA WAS NEVER CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY OR IF THE SEAT BELT WOULD ACTUALLY HOLD UP IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE .MY SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED AND DEEMED DEFECTIVE BY A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY LOCKS ITSELF AFTER BEING UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY FAB. THE DOOR KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WHEN INSERTED AND TURNED. THE DOOR DOES THE SAME THING WHEN BEING UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE WITH THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOORS. AS SOON AS YOU UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE BUTTON IT LOCKS ITSELF. *TR

MY DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHENEVER I START TO MOVE AFTER BEING STOPPED. SOMETIMES THEY WILL RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED. WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND I NEED TO GET IN, I HAVE TO STAND RIGHT BY IT WITH MY HAND ON THE HANDLE TO PULL WHILE HITTING THE KEY FOB BUTTON BECAUSE IT WILL LOCK ITSELF SO QUICKLY, I HAVE NO TIME TO GET IN THE CAR. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS FIXED ONCE, AND NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO PAY TO FIX THIS AGAIN, BUT IT IS VERY ANNOYING, AND I AM AFRAID OF GETTING STUCK IN OR OUT OF MY CAR AT SOME POINT. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT DOOR DOES NOT STAY LOCKED. WHEN I REACH 9 MPH DOORS LOCK AND FRONT PASSENGER LOCK SLOWLY UNLOCKS. THEN EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN AND THEN GO OVER 9 MPH IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS. I CAN NOT LEAVE ANYTHING IN CAR AS I AM AFRAID SOMEONE CAN JUST OPEN THE DOOR AND STEAL THE CAR OR WHATEVER MAY BE IN IT. HONDA DEALER SAYS THIS HAPPENS AND I CAN PAY THEM $350 AND THAT MAY HELP BUT NO GUARANTEES. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE CAR THIS WAY. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART OF HONDA. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST HONDA. *TR

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

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED A PROBLEM WAS WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION IT WOULD GIVE A ZZZZZSOUND. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND I HAD TO EXIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.LATER I HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME. LATER ON, I WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. HOWEVER, WITHIN DAYS OF THAT INCIDENT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTINUES TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WITHIN SECONDS AS I DRIVE THE CAR. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS KEEP LOCKING ON THEIR OWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU UNLOCK THEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN EVEN IF YOU UNLOCK THEM WITH THE AUTO KEY FOB OR THE INSIDE DOOR SWITCH. I HAVE ALSO BEEN UNABLE TO USE THE AUTO KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS & HAD TO USE THE KEY IN THE DOOR. I HAVE EVEN HAD THE DOORS RELOCK THEMSELVES RIGHT AFTER YOU STOP THE CAR & PUT IT IN PARK. (NORMALLY THE CAR AUTO LOCKS ALL DOORS WHEN YOU DRIVE OVER ABOUT 10 MPH, THEN AUTO UNLOCKS THE DOORS ONCE YOU STOP & PUT IT IN PARK). SO I'VE BEEN LOCKED IN MY CAR WHILE I KEEP USING THE DOOR UNLOCK SWITCH OR MY KEY FOB TO TRY TO GET OUT. GOD FORBID I HAD TO EXIT MY CAR IN AN EMERGENCY! I'VE ALSO BEEN AFRAID OF DROPPING OR LEAVING MY CAR KEYS ON MY SEAT OR IN MY PURSE (WHILE IT'S IN THE CAR) WHEN I HOP OUT OF THE CAR, THEN ACCIDENTALLY SHUTTING MY CAR DOOR. I WOULD BE LOCKED OUT. *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
