ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED TO UNLOCK RANDOMLY, THEN WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN DRIVING. ALL OTHER DOORS REMAINED LOCKED. I TRIED TO RESET AUTO LOCKS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HONDA CRV OWNERS MANUAL. THIS WORKED A COUPLE TIMES FOR A DAY OR SO, THEN BACK TO THE SAME OLD LOCKING /UNLOCKING. THE PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL NOW LEAVING MY VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS IN DANGER. WHEN SEARCHING THRU THE INTERNET FOR OTHER POSSIBLE FIXES, I WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD IN FINDING SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2006 HONDA CRV'S I HAVE A 2007. IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THERE IS A SAFE FEELING WHEN DRIVING AROUND AND YOU HAVE THE SECURITY OF A LOCKED CAR DOOR. I AM NOT FEELING VERY SAFE IN MY CAR THESE DAYS AND HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BY HONDA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CRV STARTED TO LOCK ITSELF EVERY TIME I REACHED A CERTAIN SPEED (8-10MPH?) AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IT CAN GET BECOME REALLY ANNOYING. IT LITERALLY RE-LOCKS ITSELF EVERY TIME I HIT THAT SPEED LIMIT AND THIS IS AFTER 5 YEARS OF DRIVING IT. *TR

IN AUGUST OF 2012, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. WE HAD THE FAULTY PART REPLACED. NOW IN JUNE OF 2013, WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK. IT BEGAN BY NOT STAYING UNLOCKED. WHEN UNLOCKED THE DOOR BY ( ANY METHOD), THE LOCK WOULD ONLY STAY UNLOCKED FOR LESS THAN A SECOND BEFORE RELOCKING ON ITS OWN. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS CHANGED TO WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED AS IN THE PROBLEM DOOR LOCK FROM LAST YEAR. THE DOOR CONTINUES TO TRY TO LOCK EACH TIME THE VEHICLE REACHES THE SPEED THAT THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HONDA CRV WHOSE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK CONSTANTLY AS I DRIVE. WHEN I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE I CANNOT LOCK MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SO THAT LOCK REMAINS UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THERE HAVE BEEN OCCURRENCES WHERE I PARK AND TURN OFF MY CAR BUT I CANNOT UNLOCK MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR SO I NEED TO SLIDE ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO EXIT MY CAR. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN BOTH DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING. THE COST TO REPAIR EACH DOOR IS OUT OF MY REACH SO I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE. *TR

JUNE 11-13 I HAD OIL CHANGED AT MY DEALER GILMAN HONDA SAN ANTONIO AND HAD CAR CHECKED OUT FOR PROBLEMS BECAUSE I AM ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY SAID ALL CLEAR, ALSO HAD NEW KEY MADE AND THEY RESET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE THE NEW KEYS. JUNE 15 2013 I WAS BACKING UP IN THE DRIVE WAY, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND CAR STARTED TO REV UP SEVERELY, I PUT IT IN PARK, CONFIRMED THAT MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS, FLOOR MAT NOT STUCK IN THE PEDAL ETC. I TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTING AND IT RAN FINE. NEXT DAY SAME THING, IN REVERSE, PRESSED BRAKES AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION, I WILL TAKE TO DEALER THIS WEEK TO REPORT ISSUE, NOT HOPEFUL AS THERE ARE 15 OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND NO DEALER HAS YRT FOUND THE SOLUTION. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE REAR DOOR FALLS OFF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. THERE IS ONLY ONE HINGE HOLDING THE DOOR ONTO THE BODY. IT IS MOUNTED HALFWAY DOWN THE DOOR AND IS EXTERNAL AND EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE METAL PIN THAT HOLDS THE HINGE TOGETHER HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED INSIDE THE HINGE AND IS COMPLETELY BROKEN HALF WAY DOWN INSIDE THE HINGE, SO THAT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE HINGE PULLS APART AND THE DOOR FALLS OFF THE BODY. THIS REAR DOOR IS THE REAR HATCH OPENING ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IT COVERS THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROOF TO THE FLOOR AND FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE RIGHT SIDE. IT OPENS FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. I CAN'T GET THE RUSTED PIN OUT BECAUSE IT HAS TURNED INTO A SOLID PIECE OF RUSTED METAL INSIDE THE HINGE. THE NEWER VERSIONS OF THE CRV HAVE A HATCH THAT IS DOUBLE-HINGED FROM THE ROOF AND OPENS FROM BOTTOM TO TOP. *TR

THE SAME HAPPENS WHENEVER THE LOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE DRIVER/PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN LOCKING IT MANUALLY ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, IT WILL UNLOCK IMMEDIATELY AS WELL. *TR

IN MAY OF 2013 MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR ON MY 08 CR-V WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED IN SPITE OF ALL EFFORTS. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN I LOCKED MY CAR THEN HAPPENED TO SEE THAT THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WAS STILL UNLOCKED. THE CAR ALARM "ARMED" ITSELF AS NORMAL BUT I WAS STILL ABLE TO GET IN THE BACK DOOR WITHOUT THE ALARM GOING OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR FOR $200 IN THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. NOW, NOT EVEN ONE MONTH LATER, MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKING BY ITSELF WHEN I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THE CAR MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND HOPE THAT IT WILL STAY UNLOCKED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IN. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO TEST ALL OF THE ACTUATORS, THAT IF ONE GOES OUT THAT USUALLY MEANS THE OTHER THREE AREN'T FAR BEHIND, AND APPARENTLY HE IS RIGHT. I LIVE IN A STATE THAT HAS VERY HOT SUMMERS, AND IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE IF ONE OF MY PETS ACCIDENTALLY GOT LOCKED IN MY CAR IN THE SUMMER HEAT. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE HONDA IS BIGGER THAN THIS AND SHOULD BE RECALLING ALL DOOR ACTUATORS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. ITS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR A CORPORATION LIKE HONDA, AND IF THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ERROR ON THEIR PART, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE $25-30K THAT I WOULD NORMALLY USE TO BUY A NEW HONDA AND USE IT TO BUY A GMC OR HYUNDAI. I'M ABOUT TO DROP ANOTHER $200 TO GET THIS ACTUATOR REPLACED MAKING IT $400, NOT COUNTING THE ALMOST $1800 I'VE HAD TO SPEND REPLACING THE AIR CONDITIONER (CLUTCH, COIL, COMPRESSOR) OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. OH, AND HONDA SAID THE A/C PARTS I HAD REPLACED ON MY CAR WEREN'T COVERED BY THE LETTER THEY SENT OUT REGARDING THE A/C PROBLEMS IN CR-VS LAST NOVEMBER, EVEN THOUGH I SENT IN ALL THE SUPPORTING PAPERWORK. GOOD JOB HONDA, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM YOU. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. I HAVE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITH A KEY AND THE REMOTE DOESN'T WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE OTHER DOORS LOCK WITH THE REMOTE BUT ONLY AFTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKED BY KEY. THIS HAS ALSO AFFECTED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHICH DON'T LIGHT WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. *TR

IN DECEMBER, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THE LOCK WOULD NOT BUDGE. MY BABY WAS IN HIS REAR-FACING CARSEAT ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SO I HAD TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET MY BABY OUT THROUGH THAT DOOR. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO ESCALATE TO THE POINT THAT AS OF TODAY (06/11/13), THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LOCK AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL ONLY REMAIN UNLOCKED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE MOVING ITSELF BACK TO THE LOCKED POSITION. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TOMORROW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET, HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND I FEAR THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR LOCKS MAY FAIL ALL TOGETHER AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR
