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 FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK SLOWLY LOCKS BY ITSELF AFTER THE KEY FOB IS USED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL SLOWLY UNLOCK BY ITSELF AFTER THE KEY FOB IS USED TO LOCK THE DOORS (EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR). THE CAR LOCKS WILL REPEATEDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED NOW. ALL AUTO-LOCK FEATURES WERE TURNED OFF AND THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
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

I WAS TIGHTENING THE STRAP ON MY SONS CARSEAT ( PEG PEREGO VIAGGIO 5-70) WHEN A PLASTIC PIECE BROKE OFF THE SEAT AND NOW I CAN NO LONGER USE THE SEAT. THEY DO NOT HAVE A 24/7 HOTLINE AND THE STORE I BOUGHT FROM WENT OUT OF BUSINESS SO I AM NOW WITHOUT A CARSEAT AND WASTED $300 + TAX ON A SEAT I ONLY USED FOR 6 MONTHS. *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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THIS IS ABOUT NHTSA RECALL 12V-338, AND TO REPORT HONDA'S FAILURE TO REMEDY A DEFECT WITHIN 60 DAYS OF FIRST CONTACT WITH THE DEALER (HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS, 1720 WEST STREET, ANNAPOLIS, MD 21401). WE BROUGHT OUR 2102 HONDA CR-V TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS ON MARCH 22, 2013 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S DOOR LATCHES AND INNER HANDLES UNDER RECALL 12V-338. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, SO THE PARTS WOULD BE SPECIAL ORDERED AND WE WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY CALL. WE WENT TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS ON JUNE 27, 2013 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL PARTS, WHICH WERE THEN IN STOCK, AND THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. WHEN WE ASKED WHY WE HAD NOT BEEN CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL PARTS, NO ONE OFFERED ANY RATIONAL EXPLANATION, MUCH LESS ANY APOLOGY. LATER THAT DAY, WE WERE UNABLE TO LOCK THE CR-V, THE CAR ALARM WOULD GO OFF WHEN EITHER FRONT DOOR WAS OPENED, AND WE HAD TO TURN OFF THE ALARM BY PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE RETURNED TO HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS THE FOLLOWING DAY TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS FIXED. THUS, HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS MISSED YOUR 60 DAY REPAIR DEADLINE BY OVER 30 DAYS, AND THEN PERFORMED THE REPLACEMENT IN AN INCOMPETENT MANNER. IF WE HAD NOT GONE IN FOR THE OIL CHANGE, WE BELIEVE WE WOULD NEVER HAVE RECEIVED ANY CALL FROM THIS DEALER ABOUT COMPLETING THE RECALL. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, POWER TRAIN
FELLOW HONDA OWNERS: JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING DOORLOCK FAILURES. (61,000 MILES). MY NOTICED REAR DOOR LOCK (BEHIND PASSENGER)NOT LOCKING AFTER KEY FOB IS CLICKED. ALSO NOTICED AS CAR ACCELERATED FROM 5-10MPH THE ALL DOOR LOCKS WOULD ATTEMPT TO LOCK. DRIVING US CRAZY AS WELL AS POSING A SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T LEAVE VALUABLES IN THE CAR FOR FEAR OF IT GETTING STOLEN. READ THAT IT'S THE ACTUATOR. P/N 72155-S5A-A01. ALSO HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I GUESS ONCE IT REACHES A MAJOR THRESHOLD (1000 COMPLAINTS)- THEN THEY'LL ACT. OTHERWISE IT'S THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR. ALL ACTUATORS SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL. DEALERS WILL GLADLY PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT OF ACTUATORS. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HONDA RELIABILITY ? I GUESS THEY DON'T BUILD THEM LIKE THEY USE TO. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN JAPAN, HOWEVER THE ACTUATOR PART WAS PROBABLY MANUFACTURED ELSEWHERE. REALLY DISAPPOINTING HONDA..........ON MY MODEL 2008 THERE IS ALSO A PENDING SWITCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I WONDER WHEN HONDA ISSUES A RECALL FOR THAT? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE LIGHTS WERE PULSATING AT A LEVEL THAT WAS BARELY DETECTABLE. JUST YESTERDAY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE LIGHTS ONLY THE RUNNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS EITHER HIGH OR LOW BEAM. RESEARCH HAS DISCOVERED THAT 2002-2004 HONDA CRVS HAVE HAD THE IDENTICAL ISSUE DUE TO OVERHEATING CIRCUITRY CAUSING THE LIGHT SWITCH TO CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL. *TR
