ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ON JUNE 10, 2013 I BROUGHT MY 2007 CRV INTO HONDA NORTH, DANVERS, MA TO GET MY ANNUAL INSPECTION & A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SERVICE. I MENTIONED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WHICH WAS STARTING TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THE DIAGNOSTIC UNCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY ACTUATOR AND ON 6/28/13 I HAD THIS REPLACED FOR $325. ON 6/29/13, ONE DAY LATER ALL "4" DOORS HAD PROBLEMS. MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN GOT LOCKED IN THE CAR WITH IT RUNNING WHEN I STEPPED OUT OF THE DRIVER DOOR TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE HATCH BACK. WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER DOOR, ALL "4" DOORS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY AND MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WERE LOCKED INSIDE!!! I CAN NO LONGER USE THE REMOTE KEY TO OPEN THE DOORS, WHEN I MANUALLY OPEN THE DOORS I HAVE 2 SECONDS BEFORE ALL "4" DOORS LOCK TO GET INSIDE. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CHILDREN WILL GET LOCKED INSIDE AGAIN OR IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY THEY WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ACTUATOR FAILURE BEFORE THERE ARE FURTHER INCIDENTS OR FATALITIES BECAUSE OF THIS!! SO FAR I HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME & MONEY ON REPAIRS AND I WANT PEACE OF MIND THAT I HAVE PROPERLY FUNCTIONING LOCKS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
AS I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN MY BACK LEFT DOOR LOCK SUDDENLY UNLOCKED ITSELF, WITHOUT MY PUSHING ANY LOCKING BUTTON. THIS CONTINUED SPORADICALLY. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING HAPPENED, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. LATER THE OTHER BACK DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, I HONESTLY DON'T REMEMBER. WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME, THEY QUOTED A PRICE FOR REPAIR WHICH MY HUSBAND FELT WAS TOO HIGH, SO HE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE. WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS (MAYBE APRIL OF 2013), THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR ALSO CAME DOWN WITH THE SAME UNLOCKING PROBLEM. LAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 26, 2013, THE SIMPLE CLICKING SOUND WHICH ACCOMPANIED THE UNLOCKING ACTION WAS REPLACED WITH A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING FROM A STANDING STILL SITUATION TO MOVING FORWARD. I SAW THIS MORNING THAT IT HAPPENED AT 10 MPH, BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES CONSECUTIVELY. THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED, SO THE DOOR COULD BE OPENED WHILE IN MOTION, OR IT COULD BE ENTERED BY ANYONE AT ANY TIME. I KNOW MINE IS NOT THE ONLY CAR OF THIS MODEL TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING OR REFUSING TO LOCK ON PASSENGER AND READ DOORS.. I AM TOLD THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A HIGH COST. CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH REAR DOORS FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN AS DOORS MAY LOCK OR UNLOCK AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FRONT 2 DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF CAR OR ALLOW ME TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE IS A VERY BIG SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA DEALERSHIP WANTS $400.00 PER DOOR TO FIX. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS TO RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, EVERY TIME I GO MORE THAN 10 MPH MY LOCKS WILL MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. EVEN IF MY CAR IS ALREADY LOCKED, THE LOCKS WILL KEEP LOCKING. IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, EVERY TIME I INCREASE PAST 10 MPH THIS OCCURS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR. RECENTLY, JUNE 2013, I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I AM EXITING MY VEHICLE AND LOCK MY CAR, THE BACK LOCKS WILL UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP MY CAR LOCKED. I HAVE TRIED WITH MY KEY REMOTE AND LOCKING FROM THE INSIDE. MY CAR IS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF BEING UNLOCKED WHICH CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A PRODUCT DEFECT IN OUR 2011 HONDA CR-V EX THAT HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES TO DATE. ONE OCCURRENCE WAS JULY 13. 2012 WITH MY HUSBAND AND I EXPERIENCED THE SECOND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON MAY 23, 2013. SUMMARY OF THE OCCURRENCES TO DATE, ALMOST IDENTICAL IN BOTH CASES: WHILE GOING TO PARK THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATES DRAMATICALLY WHILE WE WERE BRAKING. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THEY HIT SOMETHING, I.E. OUR GARAGE DOOR AND A CONCRETE WALL IN A PARKING LOT. ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, WE CONTACTED BOTH HONDA AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANIES. AFTER THEIR INSPECTION, THE CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD FIND WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS LEASED AND THEIR TRADE PROPOSITION WAS COST PROHIBITIVE. WE DROVE IT AND THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW THE CAR IS PARKED AND WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. IF WE TAKE IT TO HONDA, WE ARE FEARFUL THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MAKE ANOTHER TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT TO THE CAR AND WE WILL AGAIN BE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OURSELVES AND/OR OTHERS. WE ASKED FOR LEGAL ADVICE ONLY TO BE TOLD IF THERE IS NO INJURY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING! PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS ANY ACTION WE CAN TAKE IN REGARD TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

AS OF YESTERDAY 6/23/13 IT STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE TRAVELING AND THE REMOTE KEY CONTROL WON'T WORK. HOWEVER YOU CAN LOCK THE DOORS MANUALLY TRAVELING OR IN A PARKED POSITION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
MY DOOR LOCKS ON THE CAR WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP IT FROM DOING THIS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE DEALER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I THEN ASKED THEM HOW I COULD LOCK THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICEMEN SENT ME ON MY WAY AND SAID THERE WAS NO WAY TO DO SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED WITH EACH OF THE DOORS. THE LATEST IS THAT THE CAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS THE CONSOLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND GET OUT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT, ESPECIALLY IF THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN A CAR FIRE. IN ADDITION, WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THEM FROM OPENING THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO HONDA SIX TIMES REGARDING THE DIFFERENT DOORS AND EACH TIME HAVE HAD TO FIGHT WITH THEM REGARDING FIXING THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WAS FIXED WITHOUT A QUESTION, BUT EACH ADDITIONAL TIME I HAVE HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS AND ARGUE WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. DOOR LOCKS SHOULD WORK AND WHEN YOU REVIEW DIFFERENT FORUMS AND BLOGS ON LINE AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE HATCH DOOR WERE LOCKED SHUT. I COULD NOT OPEN EITHER DOOR WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. I WAS CONCERNED THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGER IF WE WERE EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. I DID HAVE BOTH DOORS REPAIRED. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE REAR DOOR STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHENEVER THE DOORS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE ALL THE DOORS AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS CONCERNED THE DOORS WOULD LOCK ME OUT ONE DAY. I DO MAKE FREQUENT CAR TRIPS TO SEE MY FAMILY IN ANOTHER CITY AND I DID NOT WANT TO GET LOCKED OUT WHILE ON ROUTE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THOSE TWO DOORS REPAIRED FOR ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE CRV'S BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. *TR

DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM FAILURE. FIRST REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK WENT OUT-WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH ALARM KEY, NOR WITH THE INNER LOCK BUTTON SYSTEM. MUST BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED AND LOCKED. THIS CAUSED THE REAR HATCH TO NOT OPEN. WILL ONLY OPEN ONCE I HAVE MANUALLY UNLOCKED REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. NOW, THE PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT STAY LOCKED--WHETHER I LOCK IT WITH THE KEY, BUTTON, OR MANUALLY. IT SLOW OPENS BACK TO THE UNLOCKED POSITION RIGHT AFTER I LOCK IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WILL ENTER MY VEHICLE WHEN I AM NOT AROUND. *TR
