2007 Honda CR-V Electrical System

Complaint: Both rear doors and the front passenger door no longer lock or unlock electronically using the key fob or interior switch. The failure began gradually and worsened over time. I recently had the driver door replaced by A Honda dealer as part of the warranty but the passenger and back door were not part of the warranty and dealership has also confirmed the lock failures. This creates serious safety risks: •Doors randomly unlock while driving and while parked •Cannot reliably open doors in an emergency •At times, the vehicle must be left unlocked •I transport young children, making manual locking unsafe Additionally, the vehicle has a persistent engine oil leak that mechanics cannot permanently fix. Oil loss between changes risks engine damage, loss of power, or fire. I request NHTSA investigate these defects and consider a recall for the failing door locks and the engine oil leak.

The back passenger door makes a grinding noise, which I believe could be due to a faulty actuator. this happens when the doors automatically lock after getting gup to about 15mph

lock actuator failed, was repaired by Honda on 9/17/2021. Failed again on 1/7/23. Unable to unlock any door with assistance of local police, AAA. Could not get towed because vehicle could not be unlocked to put into neutral. Honda Customer service told me they could not help.

passenger door locks sticking and now movin down to both rear passenger and trunk latches aswell sometimes locking me out of my own vehicle or in sometimes.

Whenever I unlock the doors, the front passenger and rear passenger doors do not stay unlocked for more than a second. I am worried that if something happened (such as the car catching on fire), my passengers would be unable to get out of the car. I bought this car used with this problem; the owner before me also had this issue. To my knowledge, there was no prior warning to this problem occurring. Lock issues are a common occurrence with the model from 2007-2011 CRVs.

The passenger side door lock and unlock while driving. The passenger door does not lock.

Car never starts! It needs to be jump-started every single time.

Door locks won't lock on all doors, and while driving continues to try and lock the doors

My rear passenger side door lock randomly unlocks while driving and it won't lock when I park the car. Our son is 3 years old who sits in a car seat in the back. Very dangerous.

I had my door lock actuators replaced from a previous recall and now they are acting up again. The front passenger door lock in unlocking and locking whenever I come to a stop and start driving again.

When I’m driving my 2007 Honda CRV locks , lock and unlock . At times my passenger lock does not lock even after hitting key fob to lock it.

Door actuators have failed on both the passenger front and right rear. They lock almost immediately after unlocking. There is a high risk the passengers may not be able to exit in an emergency and rescue could be delayed. I have owned this car since bought new in September 2006. This problem began in 2020 during the pandemic so I have not gone to a dealer. I recently found information about recall 12V338000 in 2015 but I was never notified of that recall (since expired). I have since moved to a new address and the vehicle remains registered to me at my new address. Online research tells me this is a known problem and owners are charged $300-800 for repairs - often more than once!

Drivers back door lock keeps locking the whole car or sometimes unlocks .I told the car dealership were I purchased car .They won't fix it because they said I bought as is. So I called the Honda Store in Boardman oh and they told me no recalls on my problem.

ALL CAR LOCKS MAKE A LOUD NOISE WHEN UNLOCKING/LOCKING. ONLY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL STAY UNLOCKED WHEN YOU UNLOCK. OTHERS WILL TYPICALLY LOCK IN 1-2 SECONDS MAKING IT A PAIN TO ALLOW SOMEONE INTO THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE LOCK SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 9,197 MILES. PROBLEM RESURFACED 3 OR 4 YEARS AGO, BUT WE;VE JUST BEEN TOLERATING IT SINCE WE DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ON 8 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 150K MILES. NO WE LEARN THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED? SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I DISABLED THE AUTO DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN GOING OVER 10 MILES/HOUR AND WHEN PLACED IN PARK TO REDUCE THE NUISANCE NOISE.

2007 CRV PURCHASED NEW. 198,000. CAR HAS BEEN FAILING TO FURN OVER INTERMITTENTLY FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS ON FIRST TRY. ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD LIGHT UP, BUT ONLY A LOW WURRING NOISE. TURN KEY BACK, WAIT A SECOND OR TWO AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. TODAY, WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 3 - 4 MILES, BOTH THE VSA LIGHT AND THE TRANGLE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND DRIVING VERY ROUGHLY. CONITUNED UNTIL I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE VSA NAD TRIANGLE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE CAR RETURNED TO DRIVING NORMALLY FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY COMMUTE (~8 MILES). PARKED CAR FOR 10 HOURS. WHEN STARTING AGAIN, THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO OCCURED EXCEPT THE VSA AND TRIANGLE LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER ABOUT 2/10'S OF A MILE. PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND DRIVING RETURNED TO NORMAL. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I STARTED TO RESEARCH THESE ISSUES AND STUMBLED UPON SOME POSTS REGARDING POSSIBLE RECALLS AND/OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN'S REGARDING FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES AND A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE STARTING ISSUES, THE DASHLIGHTS AND THE BUCKING AND ROUGH DRIVING I HAD ENCOUNTERED.

HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE RECALLED DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK AND PASSENGER REAR LOCKS WILL NOT STAY OPEN, SEALING OCCUPANTS IN THE CAR UNLESS THE KEY FOB IS REPEATEDLY ACTUATED. HONDA SAYS RECALL HAS EXPIRED. HONDA REPLACED ONE ACTUATOR WITH ANOTHER THAT ALSO FAILED AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT.

FAULTY DOOR LOCK ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE

AUTOMATIC LOCKS CONSTANTLY LOCK AND UNLOCK UNDER SPEEDS OF 25MPH (WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION). PASSENGER SIDE LOCK (FRONT DOOR) WILL NOT UNLOCK (WHEN STATIONARY AND IN PARK). SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCK ACTUATOR.

I HAVE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN I STOP AND START THE DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED AND LOCKS. ALSO MY RADIO REQUIRES TO ENTER A CODE WHEN I SHUT IT OFF, AFTER I TURN OFF THE KEY. IT WORKS WHEN I DON'T SHUT IT OFF AFTER I TURN THE KEY OFF.

CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONING; STARTED AS BLINKING IN AN OUT, NOW MINIMAL INFORMATION IS DISPLAYED. MILEAGE AMOUNT SHOWS AND THIS IS HOW I KNOW WHEN TO FILL MY TANK WITH GAS. I HAVE RECEIVED ESTIMATES FOR REPAIR AT $800.00.

WE WERE DRIVING AND STOPPED THE CAR OUTSIDE A RESTAURANT. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK USING THE DOOR HANDLE. IT FINALLY OPENED WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS PRESSED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM THE RESTAURANT AND GOT INSIDE THE CAR, THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. WE TRIED THE KEY FOB AND THE DOOR CONTROL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE PANEL. AS WE STARTED TO DRIVE, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND WOULD NOT STOP. EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS THE LOCK CLICKED OPEN, CLICKED LOCKED BUT THE INDICATOR THAT TURNS RED WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED WOULD NOT FULLY ENGAGE. THE INDICATOR WAS ONLY PARTIALLY RED. IT WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AND WOULD NOT LOCK. THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK CLICKED ON- AND - OFF EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS WHEN WE WERE DRIVING. WE CAN'T LOCK OUR CAR DOOR WHEN IN MOTION AND CAN'T LOCK THE CAR DOORS WHEN STOPPED OR PARKED. IT IS NOT SAFE.

DOOR LOCKS:: 2014 CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RESULTED IN SIX MONTH EXTENSION TO NOVEMBER 2015 FOR HONDA 2007 CRV REPAIR THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THE LOCK HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT RESULTS IN THE DOORS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE. IF YOU UNLOCK THE DOORS, IT AUTOMATICALLY RE-LOCKS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT IS FOR AN ADULT TO PUT THEIR THUMB ON THE MANUAL DOOR LATCH AND TRY TO BLOCK THE LATCH FROM LOCKING WHILE YOU TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER LOCKS ON MY AFFECTED VEHICLE HAD VERY LITTLE USAGE WHILE DRIVER DOOR HAD HIGH USAGE. DRIVER DOOR WAS NOT AFFECTED SO THIS IS NOT A "WEAR" ISSUE. ALSO, LOCK SHOULD DEFAULT TO UNLOCKED IF FAILS. NOT LOCKED AS YOU CAN'T GET OF THE CAR. HONDA ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN 14-083 AND 084 WHICH IDENTIFIES THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE AN INVOLUNTARY UNTIMED RECALL AS THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE. A SECONDARY ISSUE IS LOCAL DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT SAYS DRIVER DOOR LOCK TO BE REPLACED WHETHER WORKING OR NOT. OCEAN HONDA, SANTA CRUZ CA. DID NOT DO THAT WHEN I BROUGHT IN DUE TO HONDA NOTIFICATION. HONDA REVISED ITS SERVICE BULLETIN TO INCLUDE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS..OCEAN HONDA DID NOT INFORM ME. THEY HAD CAR IN FOR AIR BAG RECALLS AND SERVICE EVERY 3 MONTHS. TRYING TO GET THEM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOW AS WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED; BUT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE.

ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO MY RIGHT-SIDE BACK PASSENGER'S DOOR WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE CAR DOORS WERE TRYING TO LOCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING, OR WHEN I USED THE CAR REMOTE OR LOCK PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. COME TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOW, MY FRONT-PASSENGERS DOOR AND TRUNK DO NOT OPEN, HOWEVER, NO LOUD SOUNDS ARE HAPPENING EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT-SIDE BACK PASSENGER'S DOOR. I THOUGHT I COULD HANDLE THE SOUND, BUT NOW THIS ISSUE HAS PROGRESSED AND IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE EVERY TIME I USE MY CAR. MOST RECENTLY, ON 2/25/17 MY DAUGHTER AND I CAME HOME AND PARKED ALONG THE STREET FROM OUTSIDE OF MY HOME. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE STRAPPED IN HER CAR SEAT, UPON EXITING THE DRIVERS SIDE I CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE CAR LOCKED. I TRIED USING THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THAT WERE STILL "FUNCTIONING" (DRIVERS SIDE DOOR & LEFT-SIDE BACK PASSENGERS DOOR) WHICH DID NOT WORK! I HAD TO USE THE CAR ALARM TO WAKE UP MY DAUGHTER TO SEE IF SHE COULD UNBUCKLE HERSELF BUT UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER SHE GOT OUT OF HER SEAT SHE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL TRYING TO OPEN THE DOORS THEY WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE EITHER. I MUST HAVE TRIED THE REMOTE AND USING THE ACTUAL KEY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR FOR A GOOD 5 MINUTES WHICH FELT LIKE AN ETERNITY. THIS MATTER IS A HUGE MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED IN THE REPORTED ACTIVE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WITH SOME HELP FROM A NEIGHBOR WE MANAGED TO GET THE DOOR OPEN TO GET MY DAUGHTER OUT. I'M TRULY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA AS I'VE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH HONDA AS I FELT THAT HONDA IS EXCEPTIONALLY RELIABLE. AS OF YESTERDAY'S FIASCO INVOLVING MY DAUGHTER I WILL BE SEEKING OUT COUNSEL FROM A LITIGATOR ON THIS ISSUE SINCE IT SEEMS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED, KNOWING THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PERSIST WHICH IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE YOUR OWN CHILDREN LOCKED INSIDE. PARENTS WORST NIGHTMARE.

DEFAULTING LOCKING DOOR SYSTEM. DOORS KEEP ON LOCKING WHILE DRIVING OR/AND NOT LOCKING ALL DOORS WHILE PARKED. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED LATCH ASSEMBLY ONCE THIS YEAR AND NOW BROKEN AGAIN. THIS LOCKING WHILE DRIVING HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS. IT'S VERY BOTHERSOME NOT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ALL DOORS LOCKED WHILE PARKED.

THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM UNLOCKS ITSELF AFTER LOCKING WITH DRIVER'S MASTER CONTROL OR KEY CONTROL. THIS ALLOWS THE DOOR TO BE UNSECURED WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING CAUSING SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA SEES THIS AS WARRANTY ISSUE NOT SAFETY ISSUE.
