THIS THING HAPPENED OVER A YEAR & NOW IT EVEN WORSE. ALL LOCK SYS. WILL AUTO LOCK BY THEMSELVES AFTER I PRESSED UNLOCK FOR 2 SECONDS; WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD, ALL FOUR DOOR-LOCKS MAKE THE SOUND TOO LOUD WITH LOCK & UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES UNTIL I GET HOME. I REMEMBER ONE TIME; WHEN I TOOK A FLYER THAT STUCK ON MY WINDSHIELD BEFORE I DROVE HOME; SUDDENLY, MY DOOR HAD LOCKED BY THE WIND. THAT MADE ME CRAZY TO FIND THE WAY TO OPEN IT BECAUSE MY LITTLE BOY (10 MONTHS) WAS INSIDE & BEING LOCKED! I HAVE TO ASK FOR HELP FROM A LOCKSMITH. FOR 20 MINUTES STANDING OUTSIDE & SEE MY LITTLE BOY'S CRYING WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP HIM!!!!!! NOW : BOTH REAR DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED! WHENEVER I LOCK THEM BY THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. BUT MY FRONT DOORS ARE KEEP LOCKING AFTER TWO SECONDS . I'M SO WORRIED THAT SOME DAY PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT MY SECRET ( ABOUT DOORS NOT LOCKING) & MY CAR WILL BE GONE! I ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO FIX THAT ?? ALMOST $ 400.00 PER DOOR (AFTER TAX) ! HOW CAN I HANDLE THAT AMOUNT FOR THINGS TO BE FIX WHICH THEY ARE NOT MY FAULT! CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

HONDA CRV 2007 ISSUE: DOORS WHEN LOCKED BY EITHER REMOTE OR VIA CAR WOULD LOCK ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVERS.

BOTH OF THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SOME TIMES WHEN YOU TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, IN OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE CAR THE DOORS STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS CAUSING THE ALARM TO ARM ITSELF AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS WITH THE CONTROL REMOTE. SOME TIMES THE ALARM GETS ARMED WHILE WE ARE IN THE CAR AND IT WON?T START DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ACTUATORS. IN VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE DOORS REMAINED LOCKED WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAR. THE UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, EVEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE LOCK MANUALLY WONT WORK. THE ACTUATORS STAY LOCKED!!! I?M PRETTY SURE THE BACK DOORS WILL START FAILING TOO ANY TIME SOON. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO THIS PROBLEM RIGHT A WAY, OR MAYBE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR POOR PARTS QUALITY. *TR

FRONT DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER APPROX. 9 MONTHS ALL DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. ALL DOORS WOULD LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, LOCKING ALL OCCUPANTS INSIDE. WOULD LOCK WHEN CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS MANUALLY WITH KEY FROM OUTSIDE. CAR WAS STOLEN THEN RECOVERED. WHATEVER WAS USED TO STEAL IT MUST HAVE RESET COMPUTER. BECAUSE FOR APPROX.1 WEEK AFTER RECOVERY DOOR LOCKS WORKED FINE. NOW IT IS BACK TO THE PROBLEM AS BEFORE. MY 1 YR. OLD GRANDSON WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR A BRIEF TIME DUE TO THIS ISSUE, LUCKILY ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WAS DOWN AND MY DAUGHTER CRAWLED THRU. I HAVE READ THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006 HONDA CRV, BUT NOT FOR THE 2007. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT LEFT OVER DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM 2006 MODELS WERE USED IN 2007. I AM TOLD I COULD HAVE TO PAY UP TO $900.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I NOT ONLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, BUT I DON'T ACCEPT THAT IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA I'VE OWNED, AND MY LAST UNLESS SOMEONE WOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU *TR
