ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE PASSENGER REAR RIGHT (R.RR) DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON 8/25/12 IN THE LOCKED POSITION THEN EVENTUALLY WOULD UNLOCK WITH THE REMOTE FOB BUT WOULD IMMEDIATELY RELOCK ON ITS OWN. THE PASSENGER FRONT (R.FR) DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON 12/10/12 WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE R.RR ACTUATOR. THE PASSENGER LEFT REAR (L.RR) ACTUATOR FAILED ON 8/15/13 IN THE LOCKED MODE AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE MECHANICAL LEVER OR REMOTE FOB. IN ORDER TO GET THE DOOR OPEN I HAD TO REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL AND DISSEMBLE THE ACTUATOR STILL INSTALLED IN THE DOOR. *TR

DOOR LOCK PROBLEM: DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT LOCK. THIS OCCURS WHEN KEY FOB IS USED, WHEN POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON IS USED, AND WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED MANUALLY. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING, INTERMITTENTLY THE DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WITHIN SECONDS OF ITSELF. HONDA DEALER REPLACED ACTUATOR AS A NON-WARRANTY REPAIR. *TR

THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THERE OWN AT RANDOM TIMES. YOU CAN UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB AND THEY WILL RE-LOCK THEMSELVES WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS THEY CAN UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING OR A CHILD COULD GET LOCKED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE AT HONDA. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YESTERDAY, AFTER RETURNING HOME, I TRIED TO OPEN THE TRUNK OF MY CRV. IT WOULD NOT RELEASE USING EITHER THE KEY-BASED UNLOCKING MECHANISM OR BY USING THE INTERIOR LOCKING SYSTEM. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS ALSO UNABLE TO UNLOCK THROUGH ANY MEANS. THE TRUNK AND THE DOOR WERE, EFFECTIVELY, FROZEN IN PLACE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO HONDA SERVICE TODAY (RON TONKIN HONDA IN PORTLAND) AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER DOOR OR TRUNK THROUGH MANIPULATION OF THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. THIS WILL NECESSITATE THE REMOVAL, AND LIKELY BRAKING, OF THE DOOR'S PANEL, WHICH THEY ESTIMATED WILL COST OVER $1000, NOT COUNTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DOORS ACTUATOR, WHICH IS WHAT HAS LIKELY FAILED. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THIS KIND OF FAILURE WOULD LEAD TO A SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE COULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR OR SOMEONE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ENTER THE CAR TO ASSIST AN INJURED PASSENGER. MY 3 YEAR OLD RIDES IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND THIS SCENARIO IS TERRIFYING TO ME. BASED ON MY READING, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE (INCLUDING A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT IN NEWARK, NJ), BUT NO RECALL OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA. I AM HOPEFUL THAT MY REPORTING THIS WILL RESULT IN AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM BY HONDA AND A RECALL OF THE PART AND REPLACEMENT WITH A PROVEN PART WHICH IS NOT VULNERABLE TO THE SAME KIND OF FAILURE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN I USE KEYLESS ENTRY OR KEY ENTRY, I HAVE ABOUT 3 SECONDS BEFORE ALL LOCKS IN THE VEHICLE LOCK BACK UP. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR, THIS ALSO HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GET IN MY CAR OR GET OUT OF MY CAR. I TRIED RE-PROGRAMMING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND THIS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD MY KEYS LOCKED IN MY CAR AND HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY TO COME UNLOCK THE CAR FOR ME. FINALLY AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF THIS HAPPENING, I GOT INTO MY CAR ON 08/14/2013 USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND ONCE MY LOCKS LOCKED UP AND I TRIED TO START MY CAR, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN (LIGHTS, LOCKS, HORN, IGNITION, CAR ENGINE.) I HAD TO USE THE MANUAL RESTART LOCATED ON MY DASH BOARD TO GET THE CAR TO START BACK UP. THIS ALL SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

DOOR LOCKS NORMALLY WITH KEY FOB OR AT DESIGNATED SPEED OF 8MPH. HOWEVER LEFT REAR AND RIGHT FRONT SLOWLY UNLOCK AFTER ABOUT 3 SECONDS. REPEATED KEY FOB USE IS TO NO AVAIL. USING THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH OR THE ACTUAL DOOR LOCK MECHANISM WILL STILL NOT ALLOW DOOR TO REMAIN LOCKED. HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP DOOR LOCKED AND PREVENT DOOR FROM OPENING. VEHICLE IS NOW EASILY HIJACKABLE OR CAN BE BROKEN INTO QUICKLY. *TR

AROUND TIME INDICATED, DOORS STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES AS SOON AS SPEED REACHED 10-15 MPH. IT WAS THE MECHANIC FROM DEALERSHIP WHO FIRST PAID ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM WHILE ON A TEST DRIVE FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS THE ONE THAT GIVES THE MOST TROUBLE. IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF WITH LOUD NOISE AND RATTLING. OTHER LOCKS CONTINUE TO ACT CHAOTICALLY BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE QUIET. TODAY, I COULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK DOOR WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SLOWLY UNLOCKS AFTER BEING KEY FOB-ACTIVATED OR MANUALLY LOCKED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AS MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT IS ANCHORED ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION TO THIS CONCERN, MY CAR HAS RECENTLY BEEN BROKEN INTO AND ITEMS HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM MY VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. UNACCEPTABLE. I AM PUZZLED AS TO WHY HONDA HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2007 HONDA CR-V, STARTED WITH REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK NOT UNLOCKING. WITHIN ONE WEEK ALL DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT UNLOCKING. NOW THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ABOUT 1 SECOND TO PULL THE HANDLE ONCE I PRESS UNLOCK (ON REMOTE OR WITHIN THE VEHICLE) TO OPEN THE DOOR OR IT LOCKS ITSELF AGAIN. AFTER VEHICLE IT SHUT OFF 2 DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND VEHICLE IS LEFT UNLOCKED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR! HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS, RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS AND UNLOCKS SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. MY CAR IS ALWAYS UNLOCKED. VERY UNSAFE. I AM ALWAYS AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL GET INTO MY CAR AND RUN AWAY. IT'S VERY ANNOYING TO HEAR THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES THE HOLE TIME I AM DRIVING. I KNOW LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 HONDA CR-V. I HOPE THAT HONDA WOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR CONTINUES TO SELF-LOCK WHEN TRYING TO OPEN CAR DOOR FOR ENTRANCE. IF THE CAR DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED AFTER 2 SECONDS, THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKS ALONG WITH ALL OTHER DOORS ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA CAR DRIVER FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY DRIVING LIFE. I LOVE HONDA BRAND OF CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCH A DEPENDABLE CAR WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE UPKEEP, HOWEVER THIS IS FRUSTRATING AS I AM NOW FEARFUL THAT I MIGHT ACTUALLY BECOME LOCKED IN MY CAR AND WOULD NEED TO CLIMB OUT OF THE WINDOW TO EXIT. *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATE INAPPROPRIATELY WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED. I UNLOCK THE DOORS TO TAKE MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND THE CAR LOCKS ITSELF WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE I CAN EVEN OPEN THE BACK DOOR. BEYOND JUST BEING ANNOYING, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY 2-5 SECONDS AFTER IT IS PUT INTO GEAR. LATELY, THE LOCKS HAVE BEGUN TO UNLOCK AND RELOCK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION, I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR, EITHER MANUALLY, WITH THE KEY FAB OR WITH THE LOCK BUTTON. I HAVE TO USE ONE HAND TO OPEN THE LOCK LEVER AND THE OTHER TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. I HAVE ALSO LOCKED MY CAR, WENT INTO A STORE, AND COME BACK TO THE DOORS BEING UNLOCKED. VERY UNSAFE. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIR. BESIDES A CHILD BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, I AM VERY VULNERABLE TO SOMEONE ENTERING INTO MY CAR AND WAITING FOR ME. I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT IS THE FIRST THEY HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN THAT BE? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE A/C STARTED BLOWING WARM AIR. I WAS TOLD THE COMPRESSOR, AND PROBABLY MORE SPECIFICALLY THE CLUTCH ON THE COMPRESSOR, HAS FAILED. THIS SEEMS LIKE WAY TOO NEW OF A CAR WITH LOW MILES FOR THE A/C TO BE FAILING LEAVING ME WITH A $1800 BILL. ALSO, OTHERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND ARE REFERENCING A SERVICE BULLETIN # 12-072, WHICH IS NOT LISTED BY HONDA OR THE NHTSA- SO NOT SURE, BUT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE. *TR
