Started experiencing door lock failure a few months ago. (~56,000 miles) i noticed driver side rear door lock is not staying locked, car locks continually try to lock themselves when accelerating from 5-10 mph. Door locks keep attempting to lock, driving me crazy. Not to mention a big safety issue. *tr

Door lock on front passenger side will not lock while vehicle is in motion. It tries to, but then goes to the unlock position. This is constant when in stop and go traffic. Also, it will not lock when parked. *tr

Recently, june 2013, i have noticed when i am exiting my vehicle and lock my car, the back locks will unlock by themselves. There is no way to…

The driver door has started locking on own. I stopped to get gas on a saturday evening and i got out to pay at the pump, only to find my car had locked itself. My purse and cell phone was inside. Luckily the gas station had an attendant who was kind enough to let me use his phone. I was 60 miles from home. I could not find a locksmith to come open it up on a saturday evening. So, not only do i have to replace the…

Passenger side door will not lock with either the key fob or manually. When using the key fob it will lock and then immediately unlock. The same happens whenever the lock button is pressed on the driver/passenger door. When locking it manually on the passenger door, it will unlock immediately as well. *tr

I stepped out of my car while it was running and the car locked itself. I had to walk home, get the spare key, and then walk back to my car. Then, the car would not unlock with the spare key, manually or by pushing the unlock button. I also tried the valet key--it wouldn't work either. The drivers' door is the only door that has a key lock on it so i couldn't try the key in any of the other doors. This is a serious…

My passenger side door lock will not stay open when i use remote or keyless entry or unlock it manual on drivers door.... My step son had an emergency in may where he couldn't get in or out of the vehicle. I think this should be a recall. Parts are defective and many folks are complaining of the same problems on their honda crv vehicle. This is unsafe. When i leave and lock vehicle , the passengers side lock sticks…

Was driving down the road and i heard my doors lock again. They usually only lock when i put the vehicle in drive and not again during that particular trip. It kept doing it after i would come to a stop and then accelerate. Now it makes a screeching noise everytime i put it into drive. Sometimes it locks, sometimes it doesn't. The dealer wants 330.00 per door to change out the actuator. I understand honda is…

In may of 2013 my back passenger door on my 08 cr-v would not stay locked in spite of all efforts. I didn't even notice it until one day when i locked my car then happened to see that the back passenger door was still unlocked. The car alarm "armed" itself as normal but i was still able to get in the back door without the alarm going off. I took it to my local repair shop where they replaced the actuator for $200 in…

There is a problem with the locks. Simply all doors are locking and unlocking by itself while in motion. Additionally right rear door cant ever be locked leaving all valuable unprotected at all times. When pressing lock button on the remote all doors lock except the right rear which locks and quickly unlocks by itself. This is really annoying and unacceptable since cant be sure anymore if car is locked or not…

The car doors are permanently locked. When i parked, the driver door locked and could not be unlocked- neither by remote nor manually. (usually the car automatically unlocks when in park). I climbed out the passenger door and clicked the lock button on the remote. About an hour later i tried to unlock the car from the outside and none of the doors unlocked. Only the driver door has a keyhole and inserting the key…

I am experiencing a power door locking problem with the back seat / passenger side door lock. The power locking system keeps trying to lock the door while driving and it produces a constant clicking sound. I am unable to secure my door. From my research, it appears that i have a bad actuator and this is a common problem for honda cr-v's. *tr

My locks would lock and unlock while driving without me initiating it. At a later date, i was locked out of my car and neither the remote nor the actual lock on my door would unlock for me to get in the car. Now my locks are making a really loud noise when i try to lock and/or unlock the car. *tr

Honda owner and driver for over 15 years. Unfortunately very unhappy with current honda crv where passenger door lock unlocked by itself a few weeks ago while the car was in a moving state with passenger seated in crv along with seat belt on. Now my crv passenger door will not lock. Lock clicks sounds around 10 miles and tries to lock then unlocks by itself. I am now an unhappy honda owner. *tr
