Suddenly all the doors would lock as soon as i would get in i would try to unlock with door switch and the lock back right away. They have locked me out of my own car. I have tried the resetting procedures from manual and they do not change. To get into my car you have to pull handle as soon as you hit unlock on key. *tr

I had to crawl into back seat in order to open door and get out. The doors will not stay locked while i drive. This is very dangerous. When i'm stopped at a signal anyone could jump into the car. The door won't always lock when i get out of the car. Someone got into the car and…

The car kept saying a door was opened when it wasn't and then because of that the car wouldn't lock when i was in it and then the interior lights wouldn't go off. Then, it just stopped happening. Then on 1/14, every time i used the brake when i was driving, the doors would unlock and the interior lights would go on. And then when i would accelerate the doors would lock and the interior lights would go off. This all…

Locking actuator does not engaged. When trying to lock the door manually the actuator will automatic unlock the doors. This is a safety issue. After some research this is an ongoing issue with honda, and honda will not see this as a safety issue. *tr

While the vehicle is running or not the driver's side lock unlocks itself! It unlocks itself while the car is in drive, when it is stopped at a stop light, and when it is in park. I cannot lock the car with the remote from the outside, and when i manually lock the car while on the inside, it unlocks itself! *tr

Driver side door does not lock at all. Front passenger door locks immediately after pressing unlock. All doors lock and unlock while driving. It started about a year and a half ago and was worse in warm weather. Now, it's just bad all the time. It's a safety issue if i can't lock the car even with the key in the driver's door. My wife and i are the original owners. *js

The door actuator went out first on my passenger front door and automatically locks now every time i stop the actuators cycles on all 4 doors and tries to relock. This is very annoying and also i like to add please don't waste your money on the black chrome rims mine are peeling solid chrome is not supposed to peel so that was $3000 wasted. *tr

Vehicle door locks immediately relock themselves when trying to unlock car. Sometimes it keeps me trapped in the car trying to open the door fast enough before it relocks itself. This is a safety concern in the event of an emergency and need to evacuate car. *tr

Front passanger door lock will briefly unlock then on its own lock itself. You have to force the door lock open just to get out and once the lock opens it slowly locks itself. The key fob and lock switch will briefly unlock the latch. (we do have factory installed alarm). My wife also noticed dome light no longer coming on (might just be dead bulb). This could be a huge issue in an accident if passenger or emergency…

The first problem uncovered: the driver's door cannot be manually unlocked with a key. My daughter drove the car to a concert using the valet key and discovered at midnight that she couldn't enter the car. After family arrived with electronic key it was determined that it would not manually open the door either. Following that incident we noticed the driver's door will randomly re-lock itself after the ignition is…

After several days of intermittent air-conditioning (cooling) function, the ac compressor failed. Dealer mechanic reports the compressor coil failed (melted?). Conditions at the time were high ambient temperatures (ca. 90-100 degrees f). I'm filing this report to corroborate numerous online accounts of similar failures in newer model honda cr-vs with 50,000-60,000 miles of use. *tr

The front passenger door lock slowly locks by itself after the key fob is used to unlock the doors. The rear passenger door will slowly unlock by itself after the key fob is used to lock the doors (exact opposite of the front passenger door). The car locks will repeatedly lock and unlock themselves while driving. This is a severe safety issue as the car cannot be locked now. All auto-lock features were turned off…
