WE HAVE A 2007 HONDA CRV AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR LOCKS. THEY WILL CLICK NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO...EVERYTIME A STOP IS MADE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THEY RECLICK. IT CAN BE A STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, OR JUST A BRIEF STOP AND WE WILL HEAR A CLICKING SOUND LIKE THEY ARE RELOCKING. WE HAVE OFTEN NOTICED THAT WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO ENTER THE DRIVER DOOR OR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR THE UNLOCK MECHANISM ON THE KEY OR DRIVER DOOR HAS TO BE HIT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME FOR A PERSON TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO HEAR THESE CLICKS OVER AND OVER AND TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH TRYING TO GET INTO THE CAR LIKE THIS, THERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE OF SAFETY. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR (BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT) WILL UNLOCK ITSELF AFTER THE CAR IS IN MOTION. YOU CAN HEAR THE REAR DOOR CLICK TO UNLOCK AND IT WILL SHOW ORANGE. WHAT IS EVEN MORE ALARMING IS THAT THE REAR DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION EVEN AFTER THE DOORS HAVE BEEN MANUALLY LOCKED BY THE DRIVER PUSHING THE LOCK BUTTON! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS MY CHILDREN AGES 7 AND 9 RIDE IN THE BACKSEAT OF OUR CRV. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR REGULARLY DOES NOT REMAIN ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED DESPITE USING THE DRIVER DOOR SWITCH AND/OR REMOTE. THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IF INVOLVED IN VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS SINCE THE OCCUPANTS MAY BECOME ENTRAPPED WHEN THE DEFECT PREVENTS AN OCCUPANT FROM UNLOCKING THE DOORS. FURTHERMORE, THIS DEFECT JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS SINCE NOT ALL DOORS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING MANUALLY UNLOCKED FROM THE EXTERIOR. INSTEAD, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE VEHICLES DRIVER DOOR, THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING MECHANISM IS THE ONLY METHOD AVAILABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE FROM THE EXTERIOR - ONLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR HAS A SLOT ALLOWING USE OF A PHYSICAL KEY. WHILE THIS ISSUE RISKS THE SAFETY OF ALL OCCUPANTS, THE DOOR LOCK DEFECT POSES AN ACUTE RISK TO CHILDREN IN THE FRONT SEAT SINCE THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND, DUE TO THE LACK OF AN EXTERIOR LOCKING MECHANISM, AN INDIVIDUAL ON THE OUTSIDE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THESE DOORS AND GAIN INTERIOR ACCESS. HONDA HAS APPARENTLY LONG BEEN WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. DESPITE ITS LONGSTANDING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DESIGN DEFECT, HONDA HAS ROUTINELY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE CARS WITHOUT CHARGE WHEN THE DEFECT MANIFESTS. AS A RESULT OF DEFENDANTS UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE AND/OR FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES, OWNERS AND/OR LEASEES HAVE SUFFERED AN ASCERTAINABLE LOSS OF MONEY AND/OR PROPERTY AND/OR LOSS IN VALUE. THE UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES COMMITTED BY HONDA HAS CAUSED MANY AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT, OR WOULD HAVE PAID SUBSTANTIALLY LESS FOR IT. HONDA'S ALLEGED ACTIONS TO PROPERLY NOTIFY CONSUMERS OF THIS ISSUE - AND TO OFFER SUCCESSFUL REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO CONSUMERS - HAS SERIOUSLY HARMED HONDAS REPUTATION. *TR
