    My door locks (all of them) would not stay unlocked longer than 2-3 seconds when i want to leave the vehicle. I have carefully coordinate pressing the unlock button on my key with actually opening the door. If i am not quick enough, i must repeat the action. This very clearly looks like a safety issue. And by now honda knows this is not an isolated case. Will it require a minimum number of deaths or injuries because…

    While driving my car, i noticed that the door locks started unlocking on and off with every acceleration increase of 10-15 mph (major safety issue for occupants). In addition, the passenger side door will not lock with the electronic key or by manual push. Worse, the door lock problem led to my car being vulnerable to unlawful entry, and sure enough, my car was ransacked (items stolen) this week after i thought all…

    All the doors on my 2007 honda cr-v will not remain unlocked. Once the unlock button is hit all of them remain unlocked for about 1 second, and then they all lock again. This results in a number of problems (1) have been locked out of car (have small kids in car seats inside the car), and (2) in the event of an accident, all of the doors will be locked and there will be no way to get into the car. *tr

    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…

    The first sign of a door locking problem started with my rear hatch not opening. The next day i found the rear passenger door does not lock and the locks keep clicking as you drive. My research on the internet tells me after drivers pay honda many hundreds of dollars for this repair the problem returns on another door or the actuator they replace fails again.this is a safety hazard for both a passenger falling out…

    Even when you lock it (or it locks automatically above 10 mph), the front two door locks will automatically open, when driving or even after parking the car. Based upon other posts, this seems to be a chronic problem with the door lock actuator, and should be the subject of a recall. *tr ## vin failed ##

    I'm having issues with the front passenger door lock mechanism. A couple weeks ago, i could not get the door to unlock. I tried the remote, the automatic button on the door, and even manually locking. Nothing worked. Then, yesterday, the opposite began. The front passenger door will not stay locked. Again, trying all means of locking and nothing keeps it locked. It will initially lock, but slowly unlocks. As i'm…

    First issue was related to front passenger-side door lock. The lock can only be unlocked from the driver's side or with the keyless remote. Several weeks later, the rear passenger lock on the driver's side began locking and unlocking when i went above or below 10 miles per hour. My mechanic said it was probably the door actuator and that i should take it to the dealer. I have not done that to date because i viewed…

    The power door locks lock and unlock automatically. This problem was also in the 2006 crv and there was a recall due to the safety issue of doors unlocking while car was moving. Honda is aware of this issue but refuses to repair the 2007 model. Honda would rather charge consumers $400 plus for each lock actuator that has to be replaced. *tr
