    Vehicle failed state inspection due to excessive corrosion in the rear frame and the risk of the rear-trailing separating from the frame and likelihood of an ensuing accident. The inspection station strongly recommended against repair due to the stress point, and integrity of the surrounding structures. I opened case # 10157114 with american honda, and they have the documentation of the issue along with pictures…

    Front passenger door lock will not stay unlocked after being activated from the driver's side or passenger side. This poses a safety problem should the front passenger need to exit the vehicle in an emergency situation. The rear driver's side door lock will not stay locked, after manually "locking" the vehicle and especially after the vehicles automatic locking system is activated. This poses a safety issue should a…

    If the car battery is dead, the rear lift gate cannot be opened from the outside nor the inside without tools (i just found out that there is an unlabeled cover inside the lift gate that hides the inside emergency manual release; but it cannot be removed without a tool) . This means that the spare tire and tire changing tools are going to be unreachable. Moreover, if the side doors are damaged in any way so that the…

    Rear right door locks itself approximately 1/2 second after unlocking, whether via electric switch or by manually pushing the unlock lever. I consider this a safety issue, as egress is only possible by a precisely-timed, two-step process: unlock the door and rapidly actuate the door handle. The component does not fail-safe; it fails into an unsafe mode. *tr

    My 2007 honda cr-v, passenger door locks itself immediately after unlock by the main lock/unlock switch, key fob or the manual tab in the door. We have to be very precise in unlocking and pulling the door at the same time. Even a second delay could bring the boor back in to unlock position. This can be very dangerous in case of fire or accident as the passenger can not unlock and escape from the vehicle. Please look…

    The first sign of a door locking problem started with my rear hatch not opening. As a senior female i had to struggle to get 10 40lb bags of smelly wet fertilizer over the passenger seats and out a passenger door. The next day i found the rear passenger door does not lock and the locks keep clicking as you drive. Two honda dealers we called offer nothing but an expensive repair. My research on the internet tells me…

After a few months, rear right passenger door makes loud sound every time i lock the doors, scared a kid in the vehicle as it happened unexpectedly.

    We have a 2007 honda crv and have been having issues with our locks. They will click numerous times when they are not supposed to...everytime a stop is made while driving the car they reclick. It can be a stop sign, stop light, or just a brief stop and we will hear a clicking sound like they are relocking. We have often noticed that when someone tries to enter the driver door or front passenger door the unlock…

    The front 2 doors lock and unlock at random times. The front passenger door would not allow my daughter to get out of car or allow me to open manually from the outside. The is a very big safety hazard. Honda dealership wants $400.00 per door to fix. I guess they are waiting until someone dies from this to recall. *tr

    Driver's side rear door lock moves itself into unlock position either immediately after locking, or within a few minutes of driving. The actuator will lock, but there is clearly a spring force that gradually unlocks the door during driving, or even when stationary in a parking lot. I first noticed the problem as the doors would continually try to lock in stop and go traffic. Eventually, i found which door, when i…

    Door locks began to lock and unlock by themselves repeatedly as i drove, unlocking @ around 9 mph no matter how many times i relocked. If i relocked them they would open at an intersection stop (very unsafe also!), or just open & close while i was driving - all kinds of noisy door-locking & unlocking. I was unable to keep the rear door locked at all when i stopped the car, leaving it unlocked at night or if i left…
