    Rear passenger door would not lock causing automatic locks to try to re-lock every time i resumed driving after a stop light/sign. I was unable to lock the door with the driver's door lock button, remote, or manually. The problem has continued and the majority of the time the door is unlocked, but occasionally, the door will lock itself and i am unable to open it via remote, driver's door button, or manually. This…

    Rear hatch will not unlock. Unable to unlock rear passenger door. I've been told it is an defective door lock actuator. A class action suit was filed in april 2013 regarding this issue. I called honda who said there were no recalls and that i should take it to my local dealer to evaluate the situation. Perhaps honda should consider recalling the defective actuators. Being unable to unlock car doors on a vehicle is…

    Yesterday, after returning home, i tried to open the trunk of my crv. It would not release using either the key-based unlocking mechanism or by using the interior locking system. Upon further investigation, i discovered that the left, rear passenger door was also unable to unlock through any means. The trunk and the door were, effectively, frozen in place. I have taken my car into honda service today (ron tonkin…

    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

    At first the passenger side door to my honda 2007 crv unlocks by itself, even after i lock it with the remote or manually. When i slow down to 10 mpr it would unlock and lock by itself. Now, the door only locks itself, even if the door is locked, it locks again, but now a annoying squeaking loud noise. I called the dealer and the cost is $375. I am hoping no more doors will need repairs to the door actuator as 4…

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…

    Front drivers side and front passenger door locks did not activate per design when reaching speed of 9 mph. Consider this to be a safety problem in that driver or passenger could open doors while traveling at high rates of speed or in case of accident doors could open exposing driver or passenger to harm. *tr

    After unlocking door with switch or keyfob all doors will start to lock themselves. My wife and daughter were in the car and couldn't figure out how to get out. I'm concerned this is a potential safety issue as they can't get out in case of an accident. The dealer tested it and confirmed there was a short in the master window switch and could be a short in the micu multi-plex body control unit. First recommended to…

    Initially, over a year ago, the power door lock actuator would make a high pitched humming/whining noise when activated, but the door locks still worked properly back then. In the last two months, the door locks sound as if they are locking and unlocking repeatedly and continuously on their own without any human intervention as i drive the vehicle. The locking/unlocking noise seems to be related to the acceleration…

    The lock on my right passenger and rear/trunk doors locked and were unable to unlock (could not open manually either). The car was parked in my garage when this occurred. The dealership wanted to charge me $860.00 to repair both locks. After contacting america honda, the price was dropped to $401.00. Apparently the problems were the fuse box problem and the door latch actuator. I feel this to be a safety concern…

    We are having a problem with the door locks on our cr-v. The locks will not stay open for more than 2 seconds. One fob key will open the door. But we have to be ready to open the door at the exact second we hit the fob. The turn key lock does not work. While in the vehicle, whether the ignition is on or off...if we hit the unlock button-it locks again immediately. We are concerned about getting out of the vehicle…

    From august 2013, right front door started to lock by itself right after i unlock it. Several weeks later, the right rear door started to keep locking itself with very loud noise when the speed of car reaches 20~30 miles/hour. It was very annoying and i fixed the car, which cost me over $300. However, now the left rear door started to keep locking whenever the car reaches to the speed of 20~30 miles/hour. *tr

    Several months ago, i noticed that the lock on the right front passenger's side door of my 2007 honda cr-v would engage and disengage while i was driving. The lock shifted every time i came to a stop sign or traffic light, then would continue to unlock and re-lock every time i went above/below 15 mph. When i put the car in park, however, the lock would re-engage and the car would remain locked. Now the lock on this…

    The doors will lock and unlock on there own at random times. You can unlock the doors with the key fob and they will re-lock themselves within a few seconds. This can be very dangerous as they can unlock while driving or a child could get locked in the vehicle. This is apparently a very widely known issue at honda. *tr

    The passenger side door lock will not remain locked. It will unlock by itself and when the car is in motion at more the 10 mph the lock will cycle between locking and unlocking. It is the same problem that many other honda owners of a cr-v appear to be having. A passenger must than ride with the door unlocked and i feel this is a safety hazard. Also, the car can't be secured when parked. Honda corp. Is aware of this…
