2007 Honda CR-V

AT APPROX; 75000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD CHATTERING NOISE WHEN YOU USED YOUR KEY REMOTE TO UNLOCK OR TO LOCK.WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED 10 MPH DURING EXCELLERATING AND DECELLERATING THIS WOULD ALSO HAPPEN. NOW THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS DOING THE SAME THING.I'M AFRAID TO LET A CHILD RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT OR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.I WAS CHECKING ONLINE FOR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS A INTERESTING WEB SITE THAT YOUR DEPT; NEEDS TO LOOK AT.THERE ARE MANY OTHER CR-V OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. EDMUNDS.COM>SUVS>.HONDA CR-V>HONDA POWER DOOR LOCKS. THIS FORUM HAS SOME PRETTY CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE HONDA CR-V DOOR LOCKS AND THERE RELEVENT SAFETY. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN RESETTING DOOR LOCKS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATED THROUGH 7 OR 8 MPH FROM STOP. AFTER AWHILE, DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND INTERMITTENTLY THE DRIVER DOOR COULD NOT BE MANUALLY LOCKED (HEAVY RESISTANCE WHEN TRYING TO FLIP LATCH). ON A LESS FREQUENT BASIS, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT AUTO OR MANUALLY LOCK. FOR LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE DOOR LOCK SOLENOIDS FIRE LIKE A MACHINE GUN WHENEVER THE DOORS ARE MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED. SOME TIMES THEY ALL LOCK, OTHER TIMES ONE OR MORE OF THE DOORS WON'T. TOLERATED FOR MANY MONTHS AS DEALER WOULDN'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ONLY 1000 MILES AND A FEW DAYS PAST 12MO/36K COVERAGE AND DIDN'T WANT TO PAY DEALER ESTIMATED FIX AT UP TO 800 DOLLARS. NOW STARTING TO PICK UP GRANDCHILDREN FOR AFTER SCHOOL CARE AND NEED TO FIX. SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO WARRANT RECALL? *TR

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 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION. IN DECEMBER 2010 THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BACK DOOR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. HONDA MADE ME PAY FOR IT AND THEY REIMBURSED 1/2 SINCE I WAS PAST WARRANTY. NOW ITS APRIL 2011 AND HERE I AM AGAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS LOCKING THEN POPS OPEN AGAIN. IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. I AM AT HONDA AND IT IS GOING TO COST $238.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DOOR LOOKS. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEEL OPEN TO CARJACKERS AS I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I DRIVE CHILDREN AROUND, AND I HAVE NO CAPABILITY OF SECURING MY CAR AND THE ITEMS IN IT. THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY FIRST AND THEN THEY MIGHT REFUND TO ME PART OF THE FEES. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY OF THEIR DEFECTS. I CAN REQUEST THE OLD PART FOR THIS LAST CORRECTION. IF YOU WANT ME TO SEND IT TO YOU. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER SHIP HAD BEEN REPLACING THE DOOR LOCKS. *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
