THE REAR DOOR LOCK FAILS TO LOCK. THE REAR DOOR LOCK WILL NOT LOCK WHEN USING THE KEY FOB. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS TRAVELING. THE DOOR TRIES TO LOCK AFTER EVERY STOP ONCE THE CAR IS GOING AGAIN BUT STILL WILL NOT LOCK. SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM AS A CHILD CAN OPEN THE DOOR WHILE IT IS MOVING. *TR

THIS PROBLEM CONCERNS THE AUTOMATIC CHILD SAFETY DOOR LOCK FUNCTION. APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS AGO, THE DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND CONTINUOUSLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES WHENEVER THE CAR REACHED 9 OR 10 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN THE CAR REACHES THIS SPEED WHILE EITHER ACCELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN, THE LOCKS EITHER LOCK THEMSELVES OR UNLOCK THEMSELVES DEPENDING ON THEIR PREVIOUS POSITION. I DRIVE IN LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC, SO THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AT $200+ PER DOOR. THESE AUTOMATIC LOCKS (PARTICULARLY THE REAR SEAT ONES) ARE SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION TO PREVENT A CHILD OR OTHER PASSENGER FROM ACCIDENTALLY OPENING A DOOR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THEY ARE ALSO SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION TO KEEP AN INTRUDER FROM BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS TEMPORARILY STOPPED. THIS IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL CHILDREN RIDING IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE CAR, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE DANGEROUS FOR ADULTS WHO MIGHT GRAB THE HANDLE TO STABILIZE THEMSELVES AROUND TURNS. IF THEY WERE TO ACCIDENTALLY HANG ON TO THE DOOR HANDLE, IT COULD OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT IS APPARENTLY A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THE 2006, 2007 AND 2008 MODELS OF THE CR-V ACCORDING TO THE HONDA FORUM ON EDMUNDS.COM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES CONCERNED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY AFRAID TO LET MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN MY CAR. *TR

THE LEFT REAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN USING THE FOB OR WHEN IN THE CAR. ALL OTHER DOORS LOCK, THE BACK DOOR TRIES TO LOCK, AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE DOOR WILL TRY TO LOCK, BUT THEN UNLOCKS. AFTER SEEING ALL OF THE POSTS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, I THINK HONDA SHOULD STEP UP TO RESOLVE THIS. *TR

BEGAN HAVING CHRONIC ISSUE WITH REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS. DOOR CANNOT BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND IF I ATTEMPT TO LOCK WITH KEY REMOTE IT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKS. I TRIED TO SEE IF KEEPING THE CHILD LOCK ON WOULD AT LEAST HELP KEEP IT LOCKED BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING EVERY TIME I AM IN MOTION BUT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY IF TRANSPORTING SMALL CHILDREN BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT STAY LOCKED AT ALL. IT IS ALSO UNSAFE TO KEEP ANY BELONGINGS IN THE CAR OVERNIGHT SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON ALL 2013 CR-VS THE WINDSHIELD SIDE TRIM STRIPS ARE NOT CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD, ALLOWING A WATER-DAM EFFECT DURING A RAIN STORM. IN PRIOR YEARS, THE TRIM DETAIL WAS DIFFERENT. ON 2013 MODEL YEARS, THE TRIM STARTS 1/16" AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD AT THE TOP, BUT INCREASES TO 1/2" AT THE BOTTOM. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEPTH OF THE CHANNEL UNDER THE TRIM STRIP IS 1/2" OR GREATER. AT SPEED DURING A STORM, WHEN THE WIPER SWEEPS RAIN IN THE LEFTWARD ARC, IT IS NOT EJECTED ENTIRELY FROM THE WINDSCREEN, BUT IS "STORED" UNDER THE TRIM STRIP. WHEN THE WIPER STARTS ITS RIGHT-SWING, THE "STORED" WATER IS PULLED FROM ITS CHANNEL, THEREBY CREATING A SHEET OF WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY NEGLIGIBLE. THIS, OF COURSE, ONLY HAPPENS ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE SUDDEN AND DRAMATIC LOSS OF VISIBILITY IS A FRIGHTENING SAFETY THREAT. I AM TURNING MY NEW CR-V BACK TO THE DEALER, AND REFUSE TO PAY FOR SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK REOPENS BY ITSELF AFTER I LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE FOB. THE LOCK WILL NOT LOCK MANUALLY. HENCE I CANNOT LOCK THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR VEHICLE - NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE EDMUNDS.COM WEBSITE. APPARENTLY, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AGAINST HONDA IN JANUARY 2013 REGARDING THIS AND OTHER DOOR LOCK PROBLEMS OF THIS YEAR CRV VEHICLE. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH THE PRICE IS ABOUT $300 TO FIX PER DOOR. I AM UNABLE TO FULLY LOCK MY CAR BOTH WHEN I AM IN IT AND WHEN I AM AWAY FROM IT. HENCE WE CRV OWNERS ARE NOW SUBJECT TO ANY ONE GETTING IN OR WAITING IN OUR VEHICLES AND CAUSING HARM TO US. ALSO ANY ONE CAN TAKE ANYTHING OR PUT ANYTHING INTO MY UNLOCKED CAR. WE ARE OPEN TO SOME ONE JUMPING IN OUR UNLOCKED VEHICLES WHEN WE STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS - ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. FINALLY, THE CAR DOOR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO TRY TO LOCK THE MENTIONED MALFUNCTIONED REAR RIGHT DOOR EVERY TIME I SLOW BELOW 10 MPH AND THEN SPEED UP. I HEAR THE CLICKING SOUND WHEN THE DOOR IS TRYING TO BE LOCKED. THE ATTEMPTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK THANKS *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
AFTER TAKING OUR NEW HONDA CRV ON ITS FIRST SHORT TRIP - MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT ON FREEWAY DRIVING THERE WAS A CONSTANT VISUAL DISTRACTION WITH THE DRIVERS-SIDE DOOR REAR MIRROR. MAINLY DUE TO THE "SPLIT" FROM THE DESIGN OF THE MIRROR. IT CAUSES A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT TO MY PERIPHERAL VISION, GIVING A FALSE SENSE OF PASSING CARS COMING" TOO CLOSE" TO THE VEHICLE AS THEY PASS TO THE RIGHT (FREEWAY DRIVING). THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT 5 TIMES IN A 120 MILE DRIVE. AT ONE POINT, A CAR COMING UP ALONG MY DRIVER'S SIDE FELT SO CLOSE I SWERVED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I ASKED ABOUT THE DRIVER'S MIRROR, IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE MIRROR TO HAVE THE "SPLIT" ON IT., THEY CHECKED INTO IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE SWITCHED OUT FOR A "NON-SPLIT" MIRROR AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT. I JUST FEEL THIS MIRROR HAS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS VISUAL FLAW AND SHOULD BE REPORTED FOR REVIEW. *TR

DRIVER DOOR UNLOCKS WHENEVER THE CAR MAKES A RIGHT TURN. DOME LIGHT GOES ON. DOOR RE-LOCKS WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING, UNLOCKS AGAIN WHEN TURNING. IN CITY TRAFFIC, DOOR UNLOCKS AND RELOCKS CONSTANTLY. (MAKING NORMAL UNLOCKING/LOCKING CLICKING SOUND). I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE IT - SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND TRIED TO SEND ME AWAY. I REQUESTED THAT THEIR MECHANIC RIDE WITH ME FOR ONE MORE TEST...THE DOOR UNLOCKED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT. IT LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THREE MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT 250 YARDS. THE MECHANIC THEN AGREED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HONDA SEEMS TO BE IN DENIAL. *TR

THE CAR DOORS ARE PERMANENTLY LOCKED. WHEN I PARKED, THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKED AND COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED- NEITHER BY REMOTE NOR MANUALLY. (USUALLY THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS WHEN IN PARK). I CLIMBED OUT THE PASSENGER DOOR AND CLICKED THE LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND NONE OF THE DOORS UNLOCKED. ONLY THE DRIVER DOOR HAS A KEYHOLE AND INSERTING THE KEY DID NOT UNLOCK THE CAR. I TRIED USING MY SPARE KEYS BUT NOTHING WORKED. I AM LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR. *TR
