    The doors unlock themselves whether driving or parked. When i use my remote to lock my doors two of my doors automatically unlock themselves. When driving and auto locks engage, two of the doors automatically unlock themselves causing the car to continually lock and unlock itself. *tr

    For some time now the doors open and then immediately lock again when using remote keyless entry. But now occasionally the panic button goes off and the car honks and flashes and the vehicle is inoperable. This results in a safety hazard as the latest incident occurred with children in the vehicle with high temperatures and we were all essentially stranded until the car settled down. It is easy to imagine a much…

    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…

    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

    I have been having issues with the door lock actuator for the last 2 years, i have had them replaced, and now they are being replaced again. I can not lock them on the inside, and leaves my car open to anyone. I don't feel it is a safe. The dealership knows it is an issue yet they charge an arm & a leg to fix them. Ridiculous!!! *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…

    While driving my honda cr-v 2007 the locks would unlock and lock on their own. Anytime i slow down and come to a stop the passenger side door unlocks. It will also never lock when i leave the car. I also remember months earlier that the dome light flickered when we had the doors open and putting stuff in the car. I didn't notice it for awhile and figured it was ok since it didn't happen anymore. *tr

    It started with the rear passenger door lock unlocking and locking itself. Now the other door locks are doing the same thing. As i am driving they are always unlocking and locking. I am scared my son will lean on the door handle while driving and the door will open. The car only has 43317 miles on it. *tr

    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

    The power door locks are malfunctioning. When unlocking the car to either enter or exit the vehicle, the car locks again automatically in less than a second. This occurs when using the remote to unlock the car as well as when unlocking the car from any door both outside and inside manually. In addition to this malfunction being a major inconvenience with nearly having locked myself out of the car numerous times…

    Driver side lock and trunk lock initially about a month ago would not lock manually or remotely. Then two days ago, the car would not unlock at all. Had to have the car unlocked by a company.

    When using the key to unlock the doors, they relocked automatically in less than one second. This was initially occurring sporadically, but within a week progressed to constantly. Even unlocking manually from inside the vehicle, it relocked on its own before i was able to open the door. This has become a safety issue, as i use my vehicle mostly as transportation for my young children. The first time it kept locking…

    Driver side door re-locks within 2 seconds of being unlocked by remote or door panel switch. Door lock lever is then stuck in the lock position and cannot be manually over ridden nor can the door be opened from inside! Battery voltage is ok. Same situation whether engine is running or not. Not sure what happens if there is a power failure, but it might be that the driver can not unlock the door and get out after a…

    Rear passenger side door slowly unlocks after being key fob-activated or manually locked. This is a serious safety concern, as my child's car seat is anchored on that side of the vehicle. In addition to this concern, my car has recently been broken into and items have been stolen from my vehicle as a result of this manufacturer defect. Unacceptable. I am puzzled as to why honda hasn't issued a recall. *tr
