IN JANUARY OF 2011 THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY HONDA CRV STARTED CLICKING AT 10 MPH--BY FEBRUARY OF 2011, THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING ON ME SECONDS AFTER I REMOTELY UNLOCKED THE DOOR--SOMETIMES NOT EVEN LETTING ME OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INTO THE CAR. I HAD AN INCIDENT IN MID FEBRUARY, WHEN THE DOOR BLEW CLOSED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, MY PURSE AND CELL PHONE IN THE CAR--AND LOCKED ME OUT OF THE CAR--THANKFULLY MY SUNROOF WAS OPEN AND ALL 63 YEARS OF ME HAD TO CLIMB INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE SUNROOF. NEXT DAY WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE ACTUATOR ON THE DRIVER DOOR. ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER IN MAY OF 2013 IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN--THIS TIME THE REAR DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER. THE FIRST TIME IT COST US $282--THIS LAST TIME IT WAS $244. WE HAVE TWO MORE DOORS TO GO AND ANOTHER LADY SAID SHE HAD ALL OF THEM REPLACED AND IT COST HER $900.--THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THESE CARS, AND HONDA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE WHAT WE HAD TO PAY! *TR

LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR DID NOT LOCK AFTER 9 MPH PER DESIGN. BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT PASSENGER IN LEFT REAR CAN OPEN DOOR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS DID NOT ACTIVATE PER DESIGN WHEN REACHING SPEED OF 9 MPH. CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IN THAT DRIVER OR PASSENGER COULD OPEN DOORS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED OR IN CASE OF ACCIDENT DOORS COULD OPEN EXPOSING DRIVER OR PASSENGER TO HARM. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALSO IN THE 2006 CRV AND THERE WAS A RECALL DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF DOORS UNLOCKING WHILE CAR WAS MOVING. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR THE 2007 MODEL. HONDA WOULD RATHER CHARGE CONSUMERS $400 PLUS FOR EACH LOCK ACTUATOR THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AFTER UNLOCKING DOOR WITH SWITCH OR KEYFOB ALL DOORS WILL START TO LOCK THEMSELVES. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT. I'M CONCERNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH AND COULD BE A SHORT IN THE MICU MULTI-PLEX BODY CONTROL UNIT. FIRST RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH ($400) AND THEN THE OTHER PART IF THAT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

THE LOCKS ARE ACTING WEIRD. THE CAR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. AS SOON AS I GET IN THE DOORS LOCK AND THE SAME WHEN I GET OUT. WHEN I NEED TO GET IN THE CAR I NEED TO USE THE KEY FOB AND IT UNLOCKS FOR JUST A SECOND THE LOCKS AGAIN QUICKLY. VERY ANNOYING! I FEAR THE LOCKS WILL MALFUNCTION MORE AND MORE AS TIME PASSES. TODAY THE ALARM WENT ON AND I HAD TO START THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND BACK IN DRIVE THEN IN PARK AND THEN OFF TO END THE ALARM. *TR

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

STEERING
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. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND HAVE ONLY TAKEN MY CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICES. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
BOUGHT VEHICLE USED IN 2008 WITH 18,000 MILES. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS 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. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN THIS WEEK THEY SAID THEY WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PULL AND THEY SUGGESTED AN ALIGNMENT AND MANY OTHER MAINTENANCE TASKS TOTALING $3,700. 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-VS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY HONDA CR-V 2007 THE LOCKS WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK ON THEIR OWN. ANYTIME I SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS. IT WILL ALSO NEVER LOCK WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR. I ALSO REMEMBER MONTHS EARLIER THAT THE DOME LIGHT FLICKERED WHEN WE HAD THE DOORS OPEN AND PUTTING STUFF IN THE CAR. I DIDN'T NOTICE IT FOR AWHILE AND FIGURED IT WAS OK SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA CR-V DOOR LOCKS (PASSENGER SIDE) STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHEN IT WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD, BUT MY SON NOTICED IN NOVEMBER THAT THE DOORS WOULD IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK AFTER THEY ARE LOCKED, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN MY HATCH HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND I COULD NOT OPEN IT. I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING A SMALL CHILD IN MY CAR WHEN THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. NOT TO MENTION, THAT I HAD A LOADED GUN IN MY GLOVE BOX FOR A WHILE AND DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CAR WAS NOT STAYING LOCKED. *TR

WHILE RIDING THERE WAS A NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND IT WAS THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING. THE LOCK KEPT LOCKING AND VERY SLOWLY UNLOCKING. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR (MOTOR OFF) I TRIED IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKED AND THE SLOWLY JUST UNLOCKED BY ITSELF. I NOW HAVE 20,033 MILES ON CAR AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MAY 11, 2013. NOW I CAN NOT SECURE MY CAR WHEN LEFT UNATTENDED. *TR

WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS ON OUR CR-V. THE LOCKS WILL NOT STAY OPEN FOR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. ONE FOB KEY WILL OPEN THE DOOR. BUT WE HAVE TO BE READY TO OPEN THE DOOR AT THE EXACT SECOND WE HIT THE FOB. THE TURN KEY LOCK DOES NOT WORK. 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. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA NEED TO ADDRESS. *TR
