2007 Honda CR-V

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE,THE AUTOMATIC POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE CAR REACHES APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THIS DOES HAPPEN BUT AFTER THE DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE, BOTH REAR DOORS ON MY VEHICLE UNLOCK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE 3 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN AND I AM AFRAID TO ALLOW THEM TO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT THEY MAY OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH "CHILDPROOF DOOR LOCKS", I WILL NOT TOTALLY RELY ON THIS AS THE ONLY METHOD TO SECURING THE DOORS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IN THIS MATTER,BUT THEY SEEM TO ATTRIBUTE IT TO A WEAR AND TEAR OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED WITH ME THAT THIS WAS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DID NOT SEEM TO TAKE MY CONCERNS SERIOUSLY.I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE 2006 HONDA CR-V WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND AS EARLY AS A FEW MONTHS AGO THE 2012 HONDA CR-V ALONG WITH SOME ACURA MODELS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THESE DEFECTIVE POWER DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS.I REPLACED THE FRONT DOOR MECHANISM IN 2009 ONLY TO HAVE BOTH REAR DOOR MECHANISMS FAIL AT THE SAME TIME A SHORT TIME LATER. I FIND IT HARD TO ATTRIBUTE THE FAILURE OF TWO INDIVIDUAL PARTS TO FAIL AT THE SAME TIME TO A CASE OF WEAR AND TEAR OR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THESE PARTS ARE FAILING DUE TO AN INFERIOR DESIGN AND I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS MATTER TO BE INVESTIGATED. THANK YOU. *TR

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY CAR UNLOCKS AND LOCKS WHILE DRIVING .. PASSENGERS AND DRIVER SIDE DOORS LOCK AND CANNOT REOPEN UNLESS U HAVE THE KEY OR THE DRIVER UNLOCKS THE DOOR MAKING THIS A DANGEROUS SAFETY FEATURE ..THUS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE DRIVER THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR CANNOT GET OUT.. SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR TO GO INTO THE STORE AND LEFT MY HANDICAPPED SISTER IN THE CAR SHE TRIED TO GET OUT TO USE THE STORES BATHROOM AND FOUND THAT SHE COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR.. IT WAS LOCKED AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED THIS HAS HAPPENED WAY TOO MANY TIMES ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS GOOGLED IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ..HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THEM THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU WERE A PASSENGER AND GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WHICH KNOCKS THE DRIVER OUT AND THERE WAS A CAR FIRE ETC THE PASSENGERS WOULD BURN TO DEATH BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE ... OR THE OUT SIDE ... PLEASE HELP US HONDA WANTED 253.00 TO FIX ONE DOOR LOCK I HAVE NO MONEY TO DO THIS THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES .. AS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET ... *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE ON LEFT PASSENGER DOOR. DOOR WOULD LOCK UNCOMMANDED. ACTUATOR REPLACED AT OWNERS COST AND 1 WEEK AFTER FIRST ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT DRIVERS DOOR MASTER ACTUATOR FAILED WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW THE UNLOCK OF PASSENGER DOORS. PASSENGERS COULD NOT EGRESS CAR FROM THEIR DOORS. THIS CONDITION WOULD BE UNSAFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND ACCELERATED THROUGH 6 OR 7 MPH. SO FAR IT IS JUST THE FRONT, RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR, BUT BASED ON HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL ONLY BE GETTING WORSE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE I LIVE IN A CITY AND ANYONE COULD EASILY JUMP INTO THE CAR AND HIJACK THE VEHICLE. THIS PUTS EVERYONE IN DANGER OF BEING HARMED AND PUTS MY CAR AT GREAT RISK OF THEFT. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT GOTTEN A RECALL WHEN IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS. I ONLY HAVE 34,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THERE IS NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR AND EVEN WHEN I DO IT STILL REOPENS ITSELF SOMETIMES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED. THESE CAR COMPANIES SHOULD NOT BE GETTING AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SELLING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TOYOTA WAS NOT PENALIZED UNTIL PEOPLE STARTED DYING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A HONDA OWNER BECOMES THE VICTIM. *TR

WHEN CHECKING WASHER FLUID, I NOTICED THE FLUID WAS NOT VISIBLE, SO I ADDED THE PROPER FLUID. AS NOTHING HAPPENED, I LOOKED UNDER CAR, & THE WASHER SOLUTION WAS RUNNING OUT ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR, AS I POURED IT INTO JUG. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, I FOUND PIECES OF THE TUBING THAT HAD BEEN CHEWED ON, AND IN SOME AREAS, CHEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH. ONE OF THESE AREAS I WAS ABLE TO ACCESS VIA A PLASTIC DOOR, ABOUT 12 INCHES WIDE, BY ABOUT 2 INCHES IN HEIGHT, LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD, IN THE CENTER OF THE FIREWALL, JUST BELOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I FOUND PIECES OF TUBING IN THIS AREA, ALSO. LOOKING FURTHER, I FOUND INSULATION THAT MICE HAD MOVED FROM AN UNKNOWN AREA, TO MAKE THEIR NEST. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM A HONDA REP, IN CALIFORNIA. AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION, IN A PEACEFUL MANNER, I WAS NOT OFFERED ANY SOLUTION TO THE MICE PROBLEM, AS I WAS TRYING TO GET HONDA TO HELP ME DETERMINE WHERE THE POINT OF ENTRY WAS LOCATED AT, IN THE CAR BODY, THAT WOULD ALLOW MICE TO GAIN ENTRY. AS A FORMER AUTO MECHANIC, & A STRUCTURE AIRCRAFT MECHANIC, I PLANNED TO MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF. (THE INSULATION MOVEMENT COULD BE AFFECTING THE A/C & HEATING SYSTEMS, ALSO). LATER, I FOUND BOTH OF THE WIRES TO THE LEFT CLEARANCE LIGHT HAD BEEN CHEWED COMPLETELY THROUGH, WIRE & ALL. I LATER READ ON A WEB SITE, THAT THE WIRING INSULATION WAS MADE OUT OF RECYCLED FOOD MATERIAL, SUCH AS THE HUSKS FROM CORN, OR PODS FROM MATURE DRIED BEANS!! I CONSIDER THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PROBLEM A SAFETY HAZARD, FOR SURE. OTHER MFG OF ASIAN CARS COULD BE USING FOOD GRADE WIRING. IF THE MICE CAN'T BE STOPPED, THEY COULD TOTALLY DESTROY THESE NEWER TYPE CARS, LOOKING FOR SHELTER, WITH A BUILT-IN FOOD SUPPLY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A FIRE HAZARD, ALSO, IN MY OPINION, DUE TO CAUSING A SHORT-CIRCUIT IN THE WIRING SYSTEMS. *TR

FRONT DRIVER AND TRUNK DOORS POWER LOCKS STOP WORKING. IT SEEMED TO BE VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR HONDA CR-VS 2007 AND YOUNGER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE TWO LATCHES WOULD COST ME STAGGERING $500. IT DEFINITELY SEEM TO BE THE DESIGN PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHY HONDA DOES NOT ACT TO RECALL THE PART, FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR ITS SHORTCOMINGS. *TR

THE HATCH WOULDN'T OPEN. NOTICED THE BACK LEFT DOOR WAS STUCK LOCKED WHILE OTHER DOORS OPENED WHEN UNLOCKED W/KEY REMOTE AND MANUALLY FROM FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. SO I MANUALLY OPENED THE LOCK ON THE BACK LEFT DOOR WHICH ENABLED THE HATCH TO OPEN. FROM THEN, THE BACK LEFT DOOR WOULDN'T LOCK. NOTICED THIS WHILE DRIVING--MY SON OPENED DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, LUCKILY WE WEREN'T ON THE FREEWAY AND HE WAS IN A CHILD SEAT. OTHERWISE HE WOULD'VE FLEW OUT. THE DOOR SOUNDED LIKE IT LOCKED AS IT ALWAYS DID BUT DIDN'T REALIZED THE BACK DOOR WASN'T LOCKED. *TR
