2007 Honda CR-V UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Recall #UE3 2007-11 CR-V Rear Frame Brace safety recall

I received a safety recall letter in June and brought the car to a dealership for inspection. After the inspection, they said that they can't fix it, and the car is dangerous to drive. I contact American Honda, and after almost a month in back and forth with American Honda and the dealership, the car is again inspected, and the report was sent to Amercian Honda on July 29. Since then, I had been waiting for American Honda resolve the problem. We had contacted them every week and they response are always the same, no updates on the case, and someone is going to call me back, and this doesn't happen. They know the car is risk to drive, and we told them about many times in the calls that I don't have another car and don't have money to buy a car, so I need this to be resolved.

Front passenger door when unlocked, locks back by itself. This is not safe because it makes it hard to get out of the vehicle because when you think it’s unlocked and try to get out you’re locked in. I checked to see if there was a recall because I normally get recall notices about other issues. I found that there was indeed a recall but it expired in 2015 which in honesty is not fair to those that have had their vehicles for sometime and during that time period…and never received a recall notification.

This 2007 Honda CRV EX-L, involved spontaneous rear glass explosion as the vehicle was parked in the direct sun light. How is Honda handling these claims? Any help is appreciated.

My front passenger door lock is malfunctioning. When one tries to unlock the door, the lock immediately goes back to the lock position. It is easily demonstrated for inspection. It is unsafe for the passenger in case he needs to quickly exit the car in an emergency. After researching this problem today, I just learned that there was a class action suit against Honda concerning this issue and the plaintiffs won. But unfortunately for me the time period that Honda agreed to cover the cost of repairs expired in 2015. I purchased my pre-owned 2007 Honda CRV in 2016 and my passenger lock began malfunctioning in 2018. I looked up a recall on this issue but did not find one. I did not come across information on the law suit at that time.

The front passenger door locks by itself almost immediately after unlocking the door. The rear driver's side door makes a loud noise every time the doors are locked/unlocked.

This vehicle was purchased used in 2018. Locks were working appropriately. Since then, all 3 locks besides the driver side have failed. I would be so appreciative if the recall would be honored and Honda would pay for the repair and labor to have these problems fixed. It is known to be a mechanical problem and no fault of my own.

I have a 2007 Honda CRV , I am the original owner. I have had issues with the locking system from the beginning. I brought it to the dealer and was told they couldn't find a problem. I went back for a recall and the dealer told me they didn't have the parts at the time. I should bring it back. My fault here, life got in my way (divorce, pandemic, etc.) I went back to the dealer, they replaced the drivers side door lock (still warenteed) but said the other locks were no longer under warrenty and it would cost approx 300$ for my passenger side lock. Additionally, they fixed the drivers side lock and now the trunk hatch won't open

DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. EVERY TIME I STOP AND START DRIVING AGAIN, THE LOCKS TRY TO LOCK BUT DO NOT ALL STAY LOCKED. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FOR CRVS FROM 2007.

DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. FAULTY LOCK ACTUATORS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHILE STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. ALSO, SOME DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK WITH KEY FOB WHEN CAR SHUT OFF AND STATIONARY.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DOOR FAILS TO UNLOCK BY THE MANUAL MECHANISM. EGRESS OF VEHICLE IS NOT POSSIBLE.

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK GOT JAMMED 3 TIMES SINCE 2014. MET WITH AN ACCIDENT IN JAN 2014 WITH IMPACT ON THE DRIVER SIDE.DRIVER SIDE LOCK WAS WORKING BUT PASSENGER SIDE LOCK GOT JAMMED.THE PASSENGER COULDN'T COME OUT DUE TO THAT ,ENDANGERING THEIR LIFE.GOT REPAIRED FROM HONDA DEALER,REPAIRS PAID BY THE INSURANCE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY.IN 2015,I WENT TO SAME HONDA DEALER FOR RECALL OF DRIVER SIDE LOCK ACCUATOR.THEY FIXED THE DRIVER SIDE BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCK EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE INFORMED ABOUT THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SIDE LOCK BY ME.IT WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY IN JUNE 2015. HAD ANOTHER MINOR ACCIDENT IN 2016 IN ANOTHER STATE AND PASSENGER GOT STUCK IN THE VEHICLE AGAIN.WE GOT IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP SINCE NO HONDA DEALER WAS CLOSEBY..ON MAY 26,2018 THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK JAMMED AGAIN WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED SUDDENLY ON THE FREEWAY.THE PASSENGER GOT STUCK AGAIN IN THE VEHICLE .I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK JAMMING AGAIN AND AGAIN.THIS IS PLAYING WITH THE LIFE OF THE PASSENGER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T ESCAPE IN AN EMERGENCY..THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND DIRECTED ME TO GO THE HONDA DEALER.CASE NO IS 08726902..THE HONDA DEALER INFORMED THAT THE LOCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND COST OF REPLACING IT IS APPROX $400. I CALLED HONDA CORP AGAIN AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE REPAIR COST.THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY CAN'T HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO BEAR THE COST.I I ALSO INFORMED THEM THAT THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF COST OF REPAIR BUT MATTER OF LIFE WHEN THE LOCK GETS JAMMED FREQUENTLY. I WAS VERY RUDELY TOLD NOT TO CALL THEM FOR THIS PROBLEM.. WE HAVE NOBODY TO TURN TO REGARDING ADDRESSING THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND WE ARE SPENDING OUR MONEY FOR REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 42000 MILES .KINDLY INVESTIGATE.

IN DECEMBER 2017 THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND TAILGATE, SO THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED, EVEN MANUALLY. I HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS THE CENTER CONSOLE TO EXIT THE CAR. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. WE WERE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AT THE TIME. A RECALL HAD BEEN ORDERED AFTER A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED IN 2015, BUT ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS INCLUDED. THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR THE OTHER DOORS FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE SETTLEMENT. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACING TWO ACTUATORS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY FACTORY DEFECTS. HONDA REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME OR REPLACE THE ACTUATORS ON THE OTHER TWO DOORS THAT WILL SOMEDAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT WOULD ONLY PAY IF ORDERED TO DO SO BY A COURT.

I HAD MY DOOR LOCK REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AFTER THE RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. HOWEVER, JUST 2 WEEKS AGO THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WENT FROM AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING AND LOCKING AND GRADUATED TO A LOUD STRANGE SCRAPPING NOISE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THE NOISE IS VERY ALARMING BECAUSE IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I PROCEED AFTER ASTOP OR TURNING A CORNER TO SLOW DOWN OR AFTER I TURN THE CAR ON. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TWO TIMES AFTER I TURN THE CAR ON.

DRIVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VSA AND OTHER DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE SEMI-STALLED OUT, AND CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT. IT SELF CORRECTED AND I KEPT ON GOING. THIS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES DURING A 60 MILE DRIVE. THEN JUST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - I DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. TODAY MY MECHANIC HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER AND IT IS A PCM PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 CR-V'S FOR A TCM/PCM PROBLEM IN 2011 BUT ACCORDING TO AMERICAN HONDA IT IS "VIN SPECIFIC" AND MY VIN DOESN'T HAVE THIS RECALL PROBLEM. BUT MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM, IT SOUNDS SERIOUS, AND NOW I MUST PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED :( I WON'T EVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA!

REAR RIGHT DOOR GETTING LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY EVEN AFTER UNLOCKING IT. MY SON SITS ON THAT SIDE AND WHILE TRYING TO GET HIM OUT DOOR GETS LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING IT OR SHUTTING OFF THE CAR. COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 HONDA CR-V TWO WEEKS LATER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DOOR LOCKING ACTUATOR I WHEN I DID MY RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT ISSUE I WHEN I CALLED HONDA THEY TOLD ME THAT ITS OUT OF RECALL PERIMETER. NEED HELP ON THIS MATTER PLEASE

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR: IN 2015 RECEIVED RECALL ON DOOR LOCKS MODEL YEARS 2007-2008 (SEE ATTACHED NOTICE/SETTEMENT). IN 2013 AND 2014, I REPLACED THE FRONT AND BACK PASSENGER SIDE DEFECTIVE LOCKS (SCRAPING SOUNDS/LOCKING PASSENGER IN BY OPENING BUT IMMEDIATELY LOCKING) AT MY EXPENSE. DUE TO THE RECALL, HONDA REIMBURSED ME FOR THESE AND PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVERSIDE FRONT REPLACED BY DEALER BEFORE IT BECAME PROBLEMATIC. IN DECEMBER OF 2016 THE BACK DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVERSIDE OF THE CAR STARTED MAKING A SCRATCHING SOUND UPON AUTOLOCKING. WHEN I HAD IT AT DEALER FOR AIRBAG RECALL FIX, THEY SAID ALL THEY DID IS LUBRICATE IT AS RECALL ONLY WAS FOR THEM TO FIX DRIVERS DOOR LOCK. NO IMPROVEMENT IN LOCK NOISE WHICH WORSENED TO THE POINT OF A HIGH PITCH SCREACHING SOUND LASTING 2 SECONDS AND NOT ONLY OCCURRED WHEN AUTOLOCKED WHEN MOVING CAR FROM PARK GEAR BUT WOULD SUDDENDLY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING WHEN TURNING OR STARTING UP FROM STOP LIGHT WHICH WAS VERY STARTLING AND DISTRACTING TO DRIVER. I CONTACTED HONDA IN MAY 2017 ABOUT ISSUE BUT THEY SAID EVEN THOUGH THEY COVERED THE OTHER 3 POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AS PART OF THERECALL, THEY WONT COVER THIS REMAINING LOCK, CAR IS TOO OLD. THE ATTACHED SETTLEMENT DOCUMENT DOES STATE WARRENTY ON 4 OCCUPANT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS BUT THEY ONLY PAID FOR 3. DUE TO THE PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING UNEXPECTED STARTLING LOUDNESS OF THE DOOR LOCK RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVER, POSING A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING, I HAD IT FIXED 6/27/2017, PAID $211.

AUTO LOCK SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF AFTER ACTIVATING THE MAIN POWER SWITCH. THIS ALLOWS THE DOOR TO BE OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE MY 2007 HONDA CR-V MOVES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND MY CAR ROLLS AFTER IT IS IN THE 'PARK' GEAR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT I WAS NOT ON ANY HILL OR INCLINE AND THE LAND WAS FLAT. THESE INSTANCES TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET. ON JULY 23, 2016 I WAS LEAVING FROM WORK. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUT MY CAR INTO 'DRIVE' BUT IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS INSTEAD. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. AFTER DOING THIS, THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF. ON OCTOBER 6, 2016 I TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUT IT IN 'REVERSE' BUT MY CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD INSTEAD. I PUT THE GEAR INTO 'PARK' AND MY CAR KEPT ROLLING FORWARD! I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON MY BRAKES AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER I TRIED TO PUT MY CAR INTO 'REVERSE' AGAIN, BUT IT STILL ROLLED FORWARD. IT WAS VERY SCARY BECAUSE I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF MINE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY HONDA SERVICE CENTER IN MANHASSET, NEW YORK ON OCTOBER 7, 2016. MY COMPLAINT OF MY CAR ROLLING WHILE IT IS IN THE 'PARK' GEAR IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO RECALL NUMBER 11V395000 FROM 08/04/2011, BUT THE SERVICE CENTER AT ADVANTAGE HONDA DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY CAR IS PART OF THIS RECALL. IN THIS RECALL, THE OUTER RACE OF THE SECONDARY SHAFT BEARING MAY BE BROKEN DURING CERTAIN DRIVING STYLES. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE RECALL STATES: 'ADDITIONALLY, BROKEN PIECES OF THE OUTER RACE OR BALL BEARING FROM THE SECONDARY SHAFT MAY BECOME LODGED IN THE PARKING PAWL RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AFTER THE DRIVER HAS PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR IN THE PARK POSITION.' THE PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR THREE TIMES IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SPONTANEOUSLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

FOR A COUPLE YEARS, MY BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS HAD A LOCK ISSUE. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR, I MUST HIT THE "UNLOCK" BUTTON AT THE EXACT MOMENT SOMEONE GOES TO OPEN THE DOOR - OTHERWISE THE LOCK SLIDES BACK TO LOCKED POSITION WITHIN SECONDS. YESTERDAY, MY BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKED ITSELF, AND I AM UNABLE TO UNLOCK IT IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING MANUALLY. THE LOCK IS JAMMED AND THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER NOTICING THIS ISSUE, I TRIED TO OPEN MY BACK HATCH, AND IT TOO IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED SHUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A 2014 CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THESE ISSUES, WHICH I WAS NOT INFORMED OF. I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS. THE CLAIM PERIOD HAS SINCE ENDED, DESPITE THIS BEING AN ONGOING AND WIDESPREAD DEFECT, AND HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE COSTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS A PASSENGER COULD BE LOCKED IN THE CAR AT ANY TIME - INCLUDING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IN WHICH THE CAR MAY BE ON FIRE. I HAVE EVEN FOUND ON A FORUM A STORY OF A WOMAN WHOSE ENTIRE CAR PERMANENTLY LOCKED ITSELF WITH A CHILD INSIDE.

A/C COMPRESSOR AND CLUTCH FAILURE RESULTS IN A/C BLOWING HOT AIR. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR ANY TYPE OF DRIVING CONDITION.

EACH TIME DRIVING FROM 0 TO 10 MILES PER HOUR MY BACK RIGHT DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS. HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT DOOR DOING THAT AND GOT IT FIXED ON MY OWN. IF I GET THIS FIXED AND TURN IN THE BILL WILL IT BE PAID? THE PREVIOUS BILL FROM 2015 WAS NOT PAID, THEY NEEDED THE ORIGINAL BILL WHICH I DID NOT HAVE. WHAT DO I DO?

BOTH REAR POWER DOOR LOCKS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AS OF 11/01/2015 THEY CLICK OPEN AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR. EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN AND THEN SPEED UP THEY CLICK OPEN. IT IS CONSTANT WHILE DRIVING. CHILDREN IN THE BACK ARE NOT SAFE

THE AC CLUTCH DOES NOT ENGAGE AND IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE ON MODELS BETWEEN 2002-2008 DUE TO NO HEAT SHIELDING AND PLACEMENT. THE RESULT IS FAILURE OF CLUTCH DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE HEAT. REPAIR COSTS ARE MORE THAN $2000. ONLY CERTAIN VIN#'S QUALIFY FOR A RECALL AND THIS SHOULD BE ONE. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR POOR DESIGN.
