In our 2007 CRV the passenger front and rear door locks lock automatically right after using the fob or power lock control. I have to stand right at the door handle to grab it the moment I click the unlock button to be able to open the door. Our safety is jeopardized by the lock malfunction because if I don’t have the key in hand I cannot open the passenger side doors and if you have kids this is a big concern. This happens every time we use the vehicle which is daily. We have not taken it to a dealership at this time. This specific problem has not been inspected. This problem just began several months ago and has occurred everyday since.

The passenger side door does not keep locked. A mechanic told me that this is because of faulty door actuator. Honda will not entertain to fix this 2- The Engine timing belt side has a mysterious oil leak. Honda doesnt entertain a fix either.

Door actuators are malfunctioning

TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO SPRING BRANCH HONDA IN HOUSTON, TX FOR THE RECALL REPAIR; NOW THE LEFT REAR DOOR CYCLES LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING EVERYTIME YOU STOP/START, BUT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED-OFF NOR AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE LEFT DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION NOR AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH MY EIGHT YEAR OLD IS WEARING A SEATBELT I'M STILL AFRAID HE MAY OPEN THE DOOR ACCIDENTALLY AND FALL OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. *TR

BACK DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. IT SEEMS THATS THE LATCH IS NOT HOLDING EVEN WHEN LOCK. WITH LITTLE FORCE I CAN OPEN THE DOOR WHEN IT SUPPOSE TO BE LOCK. DOOR WILL ALSO BECOME UNLOCK BY THE BUMP FORCE OF SPEED BUMBS. THE CAR HAS LOW MILIEGAE AND NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH. I FEEL THAT THE LOCKING COMPONENTS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 83K MILES. IT SEEMS THAT OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT HONDA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. SOMEONE GET THIS GOING AND PUT A RECALL IN ORDER. *JS

THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCK WHILE MOVING; TIME OF PARKING THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR LOCK ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DOORS LOCKED AS SOON AS HE CLOSED THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WAS BY TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND USING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY. HOWEVER, TWO SECONDS LATER, IT LOCKED AGAIN. *JB

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK BEGAN OPENING WHEN THE CAR WAS OPERATING. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE CAR'S CRASH SAFETY EQUIPMENT REQUIRES THE DOORS TO REMAIN LOCKED DURING OPERATION. FURTHER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK THIS DOOR, EVEN MANUALLY. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN STOPPED. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ON ITS OWN. WHEN TRYING TO USE REMOTE KEYPAD, THE DOOR SOMETIMES DOES NOT OPEN. I CANT USE THE KEY TO PEN DRIVER SIDE LOCK. I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE FROM UNLOCKED TO LOCK AND THEN THE RIGHT REAR DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AT ALL ANYMORE. CANNOT SECURE THE VEHICLE DUE TO POWER LOCKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STATIONARY DOES NOT STAY LOCKED. *TR

THE DOORLOCKS ARE HAVING A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. THE DOORS BEGAN UNLOCKING THEMSELVES SHORTLY AFTER LOCKING THEM. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WON'T STAY LOCKED, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR IS FROZEN IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND THE DOOR IS UNUSABLE, THE DRIVER REAR DOOR STAYS IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION, AND THE REAR HATCH WON'T UNLOCK; THEREFORE, IT WON'T OPEN. AT THIS POINT, TWO OF MY DOORS WON'T OPEN AND THE LOCKS CONTINUOUSLY TRY LOCKING OVER AND OVER AS I DRIVE UNDER APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. AS I SEARCH THE INTERNET I SEE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT MY FEAR IS MY FAMILY GETTING TRAPPED IN THIS CAR IF THE LOCKS SEIZE AND WON'T ALLOW PASSENGERS TO EGRESS THE VEHICLE. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT FOR SOMEONE TO STEP UP AND TAKE NOTICE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR
