    The hatch wouldn't open. Noticed the back left door was stuck locked while other doors opened when unlocked w/key remote and manually from front drivers side door. So i manually opened the lock on the back left door which enabled the hatch to open. From then, the back left door wouldn't lock. Noticed this while driving--my son opened door several times, luckily we weren't on the freeway and he was in a child seat.…

    Front driver and trunk doors power locks stop working. It seemed to be very common issue for honda cr-vs 2007 and younger. I was told by dealership to replace two latches would cost me staggering $500. It definitely seem to be the design problem. I am not sure why honda does not act to recall the part, forcing customers to pay for its shortcomings. *tr

    Rear driver door not locking. When all the doors are locked either using the remote or the master driver door lock button, the rear driver door returns to the unlocked state within one second of locking. It cannot be locked manually and does not remain locked if the button is manually held in place. I have read various complaints of the door locking system becoming faulty. Why won't honda take ownership and do a…

    Several years ago our front passenger and one of the rear doors would not remain unlocked or locked, depending on their mood. Nor could we unlock the front passenger door from the inside. We had to get something fixed - the lock actuator i believe it is called. A few months back, sep/oct 2014, our passenger side door would not remain unlocked for more than two seconds, though we could lock/unlock from the fob or the…

    My doors lock and unlock on their own whenever i start to move after being stopped. Sometimes they will randomly lock and unlock while i am driving at a slow speed. When car is parked and i need to get in, i have to stand right by it with my hand on the handle to pull while hitting the key fob button because it will lock itself so quickly, i have no time to get in the car. I have already had this fixed once, and now…

    For the last 2 years my 2007 cr-v has had issues with electric door-lock operation 1)the passenger door does not unlock. Unlocking all doors via drivers side or key fob momentarily opens the passenger lock ? It then automatically locks again in 2-4 seconds. This is a safety issue as the passenger cannot get out in the event of an emergency. Door handle operation does not over-ride the lock ? And the 2-4 second…

In addition, there was no way for me to lock the vehicle while driving or after parking and leaving the vehicle.

    The door lock actuators on our 2007 cr-v started to malfunction a few years ago. They automatically lock and unlock while driving and the rear drivers side door will not lock at all. This is a serious safety concern. We also have lost items to criminals that have on multiple occasions gotten into the car through the un-lockable door. We got some of these actuators fixed before our extended warranty expired - but…
