THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL NOT UNLOCK 80% OF THE TIME. ALL FOUR DOOR LOCKS RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. SOMETIMES IF THE BUTTON IS PUSHED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, THE LOCKS WILL 'PROCESS' AND SOUND LIKE A MACHINE GUN AS THEY GO ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL SECONDS IN A ROW. MY CHILD HAS OPENED THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR (EVEN THOUGH THE CHILD LOCK WAS ENGAGED) WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SECURED WHEN LEFT UNATTENDED BECAUSE THE DOORS DO NOT STAY LOCKED, THUS PLACING IT AT ADDITIONAL RISK TO BE STOLEN. THE LOCKS ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO MY FAMILY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT NUMEROUS 2007 HONDA CR-V'S HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

I BROUGHT THE CAR THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR DEFECT. THE DEFECT POSES A SAFETY RISK SINCE THE DOOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING FEATURES FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. UPON RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, MANY CRV OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR CRV 2007-2010.
