2007 Honda CR-V Latches/Locks

ON MAY 18, 2012, MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. EVERY TIME I WOULD START OR STOP, THE DOOR WOULD LOCK THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. IT IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED USING THE KEY FOB AND IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY BY PUSHING THE LEVER INSIDE THE CAR. SO BASICALLY THE CAR IS UNLOCKED. IT IS A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDAS. OTHER MODELS AND YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT THE 2007 CR-V. I ONLY HAVE 19,700 MILES ON MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR!!! HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE ALREADY HAVE TWO OTHER ITEMS FIXED ON THIS CAR AT NO COST BECAUSE OF TSBS BEING ISSUED (REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION MODULE). I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE TO REQUEST A GOODWILL CONSIDERATION REPAIR SINCE IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $265 TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE/FAULTY PART. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE ACCELERATED FROM STOPS, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD INVOLUNTARILY LOCK AND UNLOCK. ON A FEW OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT GOT LOCKED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 112,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD ONLY BE UNLOCKED WITH THE MASTER CONTROL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR WITH THE KEY FOB BUT IT WOULD LOCK ITSELF IF THE DOOR WAS NOT OPENED IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE ACTUATOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND COULD PREVENT EMERGENCY EXIT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR AN ADULT TO MANUALLY OVERIDE THE LOCK AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR A CHILD. ONE ACTUATOR FAILURE CAUSES MULTIPLE DOORS NOT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE HONDA DEALER WILL NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH IN OUR 2007 HONDA CR-V ON THE BACK DRIVER SEAT. IT WAS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. COUPLE MONTHS LATER WE STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I WAS ON THE WAY BACK HOME WITH AN 8 WEEK OLD BABY . WHEN I PARKED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN DOOR I REALIZED THAT THE DOORS WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- I COULDN'T OPEN THEM AT ALL. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESULT. THE BABY I WAS CARING ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT AND I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER MANY TRIES, I USED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER DOORS AND THE TRUNK WERE COMPLETELY CLOSED- JAMMED. I COULDN'T EVEN OPEN WITH THE KEY. I WAS SO SCARED AS I'M USING THAT CAR TO GO TO THE DOCTOR OR FOR SHOPPING PURPOSES. ALL THE TIME MY BABY IS WITH ME AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND WE WENT TO THE CLOSEST HONDA SERVICE- MCGRATH HONDA. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY CAN FIX IT THE NEXT DAY FOR $500. THEY DID. THE NEXT DAY CAR WAS FIXED, BUT ON MY BACK WAY HOME I REALIZED THAT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAME BACK TO THE SERVICE AND THEY FIX THE DOOR FOR FREE AS IT WERE THE THIRD DOOR WITH THE SAME ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE CAR WILL BE ON FIRE? HOW I WILL ESCAPE WITH MY BABY IF THE DOORS ARE JAMMED? WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MY BABY IF THE SITUATION WILL REPEAT? *KB

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA CR-V. I HAVE REPLACE TWO DOOR LOCKS ON THIS VEHICLE. A THIRD DOOR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF NOT LOCKING. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY FOR THE DOOR REPAIR AND THEN I MIGHT GET A REFUND DEPENDING ON THE DISTRICT MANGERS CONSENT. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A HAZARD IF SOME HAS SMALL CHILDREN. *TR

2007 HONDA CRV POWER LOCKS ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVERSIDE REAR DOOR AND TRUNK LATCH. ALSO EVERYTIME I SLOW AND SPEED UP AGAIN THE LOCKS ARE TRYING TO RELOCK, CURRENT MILEAGE IS 51500. CALLED HONDA WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $115./HR TO FIND OUT WHATS WRONG. CAN NOT AFFORD TO SPEND 500-600 TO FIX. ELECTRICAL POWER LOCKS SHOULD NOT GO BAD SHAME ON HONDA. *TR
