    The door immediately locks itself after being unlocked with the key fab. The door key will not unlock the door when inserted and turned. The door does the same thing when being unlocked from the inside with the lock/unlock button on the doors. As soon as you unlock the door with the button it locks itself. *tr

    The rear passenger door locks and unlocks while driving. One day my son had a difficult time getting out of the car because as soon as he unlocked the door it would lock again. Concerns i have are someone getting in my car while i'm stopped at a light, etc. Or a child opening the door from inside while the car is moving. It doesn't seem to matter how fast or slow the car is moving, it will still lock and unlock on…

    Passenger front door does not stay locked. When i reach 9 mph doors lock and front passenger lock slowly unlocks. Then every time i slow down and then go over 9 mph it locks and unlocks. I can not leave anything in car as i am afraid someone can just open the door and steal the car or whatever may be in it. Honda dealer says this happens and i can pay them $350 and that may help but no guarantees. I can't even sell…

Several days later the door would not unlock and i had to exit on the passenger side.later i had to climb over the console to drive the car home. Later on, i was able to unlock the door.

    The power door locks keep locking on their own immediately after you unlock them. This can happen even if you unlock them with the auto key fob or the inside door switch. I have also been unable to use the auto key fob to unlock the doors & had to use the key in the door. I have even had the doors relock themselves right after you stop the car & put it in park. (normally the car auto locks all doors when you drive…

    My front passenger side door will not stay locked. Each time i lock it, all the other doors stay locked except this door. I can not manually lock it, therefore my car is now subject to vandalism or theft. I am a single female and this terrifies me that when i am sitting at a traffic light at light someone could easily attack me or try to steal my car. I contacted honda and they said that there is absolutely nothing…

    My honda cr-v 2007 just started to have problem with the door lock/unlock system. I started to notice the problem probably in november 2013. The car locking default set-up was at 15mph (meaning even if i forget to lock the doors, they will be locked when the car reach 15mph). However, one of the door just unlock all by itself right-after it get locked. This is a huge safety concern if you have kids in your car. I…

    The power switches on doors are easy to fail. The actuator failed and the door is getting 'locked' itself which could be an issue if child is left in the car with key. I got the first incident of this issue on my passenger - right door about 6 months ago and now got the same issue on door in driver seat. *tr

    For over a year, my 2007 honda cr-v has had a lock actuator malfunction where the right year passenger door remains unlocked while driving and unlocks when i try to lock the car. My 4 year old nephew was in the back seat and was able to open the door while we were in motion which is a huge safety risk! Also, the doors lock and unlock when i got below and above 10mph and make a huge clicking sound. Not only can i…

    My grandson went to get out of the passenger front side of car. It would not unlock. He had to climb over to the driver seat to get out. The next day i went to open the trunk and it was lock. I do a lot of picking up of my grandchildren and i'm afraid that they will get stuck in the event of an accident. What a shame to have to worry about this and the cost i will have to incur. *tr

    The door lock on both the drivers side door and the drivers side rear door have been having problems with the door lock actuator where the door will not securely lock when the door lock is activated. The back drivers side door in particular will initially lock then slowly unlock within 2 seconds and the front door will sometimes just not lock at all, almost like it is stuck. *js

    In the last two weeks, suddenly the door locks won't remain open after opening with key fob. The door locks will open for a second or two, but then automatically return to the locked position.

    The passenger door regularly does not remain electronically locked despite using the driver door switch and/or remote. This could pose a serious safety concern if involved in vehicular accidents since the occupants may become entrapped when the defect prevents an occupant from unlocking the doors. Furthermore, this defect jeopardizes the safety of vehicle occupants since not all doors are capable of being manually…

    Passenger side door: i can unlock the passenger door with the key fob and they will re-lock themselves within 2 seconds. Few days ago i went into pharmacy and left my 8 year old niece in the car to pick up few things. Came back out in about 5-7 minutes and she was crying her eyes out yelling and screaming. I asked her what happened as i entered through the driver side door. She couldn't speak for few minutes because…

    When i accelerated from a stopped position at a stoplight, my vehicle automatically locked all the doors (which it had done upon leaving the parking lot). I thought this strange. Then i looked and saw that the front passenger side lock unlocked itself as soon as the doors had locked. When i stopped again at another light, it repeated the pattern. Due to the fact that the front passenger side door was unlocked, the…
