LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ON MAY 18, 2012, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. EVERY TIME I WOULD START OR STOP, THE DOOR WOULD LOCK THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. IT IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED USING THE KEY FOB AND IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY BY PUSHING THE LEVER INSIDE THE CAR. SO BASICALLY THE CAR IS UNLOCKED. IT IS A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDAS. OTHER MODELS AND YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT THE 2007 CR-V. I ONLY HAVE 19,700 MILES ON MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR!!! HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE ALREADY HAVE TWO OTHER ITEMS FIXED ON THIS CAR AT NO COST BECAUSE OF TSBS BEING ISSUED (REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION MODULE). I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE TO REQUEST A GOODWILL CONSIDERATION REPAIR SINCE IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $265 TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE/FAULTY PART. *JS

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN CHECKING WASHER FLUID, I NOTICED THE FLUID WAS NOT VISIBLE, SO I ADDED THE PROPER FLUID. AS NOTHING HAPPENED, I LOOKED UNDER CAR, & THE WASHER SOLUTION WAS RUNNING OUT ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR, AS I POURED IT INTO JUG. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, I FOUND PIECES OF THE TUBING THAT HAD BEEN CHEWED ON, AND IN SOME AREAS, CHEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH. ONE OF THESE AREAS I WAS ABLE TO ACCESS VIA A PLASTIC DOOR, ABOUT 12 INCHES WIDE, BY ABOUT 2 INCHES IN HEIGHT, LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD, IN THE CENTER OF THE FIREWALL, JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I FOUND PIECES OF TUBING IN THIS AREA, ALSO. LOOKING FURTHER, I FOUND INSULATION THAT MICE HAD MOVED FROM AN UNKNOWN AREA, TO MAKE THEIR NEST. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM A HONDA REP, IN CALIFORNIA. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION, IN A PEACEFUL MANNER, I WAS NOT OFFERED ANY SOLUTION TO THE MICE PROBLEM, AS I WAS TRYING TO GET HONDA TO HELP ME DETERMINE WHERE THE POINT OF ENTRY WAS LOCATED AT, IN THE CAR BODY, THAT WOULD ALLOW MICE TO GAIN ENTRY. AS A FORMER AUTO MECHANIC, & A STRUCTURE AIRCRAFT MECHANIC, I PLANNED TO MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF. (THE INSULATION MOVEMENT COULD BE AFFECTING THE A/C & HEATING SYSTEMS, ALSO). LATER, I FOUND BOTH OF THE WIRES TO THE LEFT CLEARANCE LIGHT HAD BEEN CHEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH, WIRE & ALL. I LATER READ ON A WEB SITE, THAT THE WIRING INSULATION WAS MADE OUT OF RECYCLED FOOD MATERIAL, SUCH AS THE HUSKS FROM CORN, OR PODS FROM MATURE DRIED BEANS!! I CONSIDER THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PROBLEM A SAFETY HAZARD, FOR SURE. OTHER MFG OF ASIAN CARS COULD BE USING FOOD GRADE WIRING. IF THE MICE CAN'T BE STOPPED, THEY COULD TOTALLY DESTROY THESE NEWER TYPE CARS, LOOKING FOR SHELTER, WITH A BUILT-IN FOOD SUPPLY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A FIRE HAZARD, ALSO, IN MY OPINION, DUE TO CAUSING A SHORT-CIRCUIT IN THE WIRING SYSTEMS. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
1ST FAILURE WAS TIRES IN REAR OF THE VEHICLE WERE WORN ON THE INSIDE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE. RETURNED TO THE DEALER ASKING THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY BLAMED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. PUT NEW TIRES ON HAD ALL THE NECESSARY DEALER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. ROTATION ECT. THE NEW TIRES INSTALLED AT 42,000 BEGAN TO SHIMMY BADLY IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AT 63,000 MILES. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER IN FL AND THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE REAR BECAUSE OF THE SAME WEAR AS THE 1ST SET. THE REAR SUSPENSION CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION WAS AFTER MARKET (NOT HONDA MFG PARTS) WITH AN ADJUSTABLE ARM. THE CAMBER CAN NOW BE ADJUSTED TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, THE TIRES WOULD HAVE WORN OUT IN AN AREA NOT EASY TO SEE AN CAUSE A BLOWOUT AT HIGH SPEED WOULD BE A REAL PROBLEM. HONDA CORP WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT. I SEE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I EXPERIENCED. THE EXTENDED VEHICLE INS. I PURCHASED WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAY HONDA HAS MODIFIED THIS PART AND THEY WILL NOT PAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE MY TIRE FAILURE OCCUR AT A SLOW SPEED. AT 70 MPG IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD AND EVERYONE WOULD HAVE BLAMED THE TIRES. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE'S UNABLE TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT TO STOP ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. HONDA AND ALL THE DEALERS ARE IN DENIAL OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER ACCELERATING THE 2007 HONDA CRV, THE AUTO CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. APPLYING THE BRAKES DID LITTLE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. AFTER 4/10TH OF A MILE THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STOPPED, AND AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED IT RACED AT FULL SPEED. IT WAS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF "PARK" AND INTO NEUTRAL. (4 ATTEMPTS WERE MADE OVER A 30 MIN PERIOD). VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC REPORTED THAN WHEN HE RECEIVED THE CAR HE NEED TO JUMP START THE 1 YEAR OLD BATTERY AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR NORMALLY. HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND WILL CONTINUE TO RUN TESTS. *TR

FRONT DRIVER AND TRUNK DOORS POWER LOCKS STOP WORKING. IT SEEMED TO BE VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR HONDA CR-VS 2007 AND YOUNGER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE TWO LATCHES WOULD COST ME STAGGERING $500. IT DEFINITELY SEEM TO BE THE DESIGN PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHY HONDA DOES NOT ACT TO RECALL THE PART, FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HATCH WOULDN'T OPEN. NOTICED THE BACK LEFT DOOR WAS STUCK LOCKED WHILE OTHER DOORS OPENED WHEN UNLOCKED W/KEY REMOTE AND MANUALLY FROM FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SO I MANUALLY OPENED THE LOCK ON THE BACK LEFT DOOR WHICH ENABLED THE HATCH TO OPEN. FROM THEN, THE BACK LEFT DOOR WOULDN'T LOCK. NOTICED THIS WHILE DRIVING--MY SON OPENED DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, LUCKILY WE WEREN'T ON THE FREEWAY AND HE WAS IN A CHILD SEAT. OTHERWISE HE WOULD'VE FLEW OUT. THE DOOR SOUNDED LIKE IT LOCKED AS IT ALWAYS DID BUT DIDN'T REALIZED THE BACK DOOR WASN'T LOCKED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
REAR DRIVER DOOR NOT LOCKING. WHEN ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED EITHER USING THE REMOTE OR THE MASTER DRIVER DOOR LOCK BUTTON, THE REAR DRIVER DOOR RETURNS TO THE UNLOCKED STATE WITHIN ONE SECOND OF LOCKING. IT CANNOT BE LOCKED MANUALLY AND DOES NOT REMAIN LOCKED IF THE BUTTON IS MANUALLY HELD IN PLACE. I HAVE READ VARIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM BECOMING FAULTY. WHY WON'T HONDA TAKE OWNERSHIP AND DO A RECALL! I AM UNFAIRLY HAVING TO SPEND ALMOST $250 TO GET THE ACTUATOR REPLACED. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY JUST LIKE SEAT BELTS! THIS IS CAUSING A THEFT HAZARD AS WELL AS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY CHILD RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT! *TR

AT APPROX; 75000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD CHATTERING NOISE WHEN YOU USED YOUR KEY REMOTE TO UNLOCK OR TO LOCK.WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 10 MPH DURING EXCELLERATING AND DECELLERATING THIS WOULD ALSO HAPPEN. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS DOING THE SAME THING.I'M AFRAID TO LET A CHILD RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.I WAS CHECKING ONLINE FOR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS A INTERESTING WEB SITE THAT YOUR DEPT; NEEDS TO LOOK AT.THERE ARE MANY OTHER CR-V OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. EDMUNDS.COM>SUVS>.HONDA CR-V>HONDA POWER DOOR LOCKS. THIS FORUM HAS SOME PRETTY CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HONDA CR-V DOOR LOCKS AND THERE RELEVENT SAFETY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED A 2007 HONDA CRV IN SEPT 2011 AND RECENTLY THE CAR FAILED AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER RANDOMLY. A FEW DAYS AGO THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VSA LIGHT AS WELL. WHEN YOU HIT 20 MPH 40 MPH ETC THE VEHICLE STALLS AND JERKS. I ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM LOOKING AT THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT I COULDN'T FIND OR DO ANYTHING ON MY OWN TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER IN ORLANDO WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME JUST TO CHECK IT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE ALSO NOTICED MANY POSTINGS ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION ON DIFFERENT WEB SITES. IT SOUNDS TO ME AS A RECALL AND A MANUFACTURES RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATED THROUGH 7 OR 8 MPH FROM STOP. AFTER AWHILE, DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND INTERMITTENTLY THE DRIVER DOOR COULD NOT BE MANUALLY LOCKED (HEAVY RESISTANCE WHEN TRYING TO FLIP LATCH). ON A LESS FREQUENT BASIS, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT AUTO OR MANUALLY LOCK. FOR LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DOOR LOCK SOLENOIDS FIRE LIKE A MACHINE GUN WHENEVER THE DOORS ARE MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. SOME TIMES THEY ALL LOCK, OTHER TIMES ONE OR MORE OF THE DOORS WON'T. TOLERATED FOR MANY MONTHS AS DEALER WOULDN'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ONLY 1000 MILES AND A FEW DAYS PAST 12MO/36K COVERAGE AND DIDN'T WANT TO PAY DEALER ESTIMATED FIX AT UP TO 800 DOLLARS. NOW STARTING TO PICK UP GRANDCHILDREN FOR AFTER SCHOOL CARE AND NEED TO FIX. SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT RECALL? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CAR WOULD NOT START:NO ENGINE TURNING, NO LIGHTS, ETC. THOUGHT I HAD A DEAD BATTERY, LOCKED CAR TO GET HELP (VIA KEY FOB) AND LIGHTS WENT ON ACKNOWLEDGING IT LOCKED. TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED FINE. RADIO WAS BLINKING AND HAD TO ENTER RADIO SECURITY CODE LIKE THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. DROVE CAR HOME WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS MORNING CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN, FOLLOWED THE SAME PROCESS OF LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR WOULD START (NO BLINKING RADIO THOUGH). DROVE INTO WORK, STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, STARTED TO DRIVE (MOVED ABOUT 50 FEET) AND DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. GOOD SAMARITAN MESSED WITH IT AND MANAGED TO GET IT INTO NEUTRAL SO IT COULD BE PUSHED TO SIDE OF ROAD. SAID THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BEEN ENGAGED WHICH IS WHY IT WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK? FROM SIDE OF ROAD CAR STARTED FINE. I DROVE IT HOME WHERE NOW SITS IN THE GARAGE. *TR
