51 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 01/24/2014

Passenger front door does not stay locked. When I reach 9 mph doors lock and front passenger lock slowly unlocks. Then every time I slow down and then go over 9 mph it locks and unlocks. I can not leave anything in car as I am afraid someone can just open the door and steal the car or whatever may be in it. Honda dealer says this happens and I can pay them $350 and that may help but no guarantees. I can't even sell the car this way. This is irresponsible on the part of Honda. This is my first and last Honda.

52 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 12/28/2013

On our 2007 Honda Cr-v the passenger side door unlocks almost immediately after being locked, no matter how it is locked. This happens with the car in motion, stopped, with the key fob or manually locked. The door will also lock while driving but then immediately unlock itself. This is only part of the problem. The unlocking of the door also disengages the alarm. I can lock the door and set the alarm and within a second, can open with door with no alarm sounding at all. So with the door unlocking, my wife and children are in harms way when they're stopped as there is nothing to stop someone from entering that front passenger door into the only empty seat in the car and doing bodily harm to them or stealing the car and leaving them where ever they are. This also makes it impossible to secure the car when away from home as both the lock and alarm are disengaged making it too easy for any criminal looking for a target of opportunity. This means in a 24 hour day, my car, while parked and empty or filled with the most important people in my life, is only secured for literally a few seconds. By proxy, that means my wife and children are only secure for less than that.

Failure Date: 12/01/2013

My front passenger side door will not stay locked. Each time I lock it, all the other doors stay locked except this door. I can not manually lock it, therefore my car is now subject to vandalism or theft. I am a single female and this terrifies me that when I am sitting at a traffic light at light someone could easily attack me or try to steal my car. I contacted Honda and they said that there is absolutely nothing they can do.

60 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2010 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/27/2013

The doors lock and unlock on their own while driving. Also, the passenger door and hatch will not unlock. The passenger door can be unlocked manually, however, the hatch does not have a way to unlock it from the inside which poses a huge safety hazard. The doors should remain locked while the car is in drive, however, they unlock on their own which has allowed my 6 year old to open the door while the car is in motion.

61 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/27/2013

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.

The front passenger door lock does not remain locked, it unlocks itself immediately after locking.

63 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/20/2013

My Honda Cr-v 2007 just started to have problem with the door lock/unlock system. I started to notice the problem probably in November 2013. The car locking default set-up was at 15mph (meaning even if I forget to lock the doors, they will be locked when the car reach 15mph). However, one of the door just unlock all by itself right-after it get locked. This is a huge safety concern if you have kids in your car. I realized many Cr-v owners have the same problem, but Honda decided not to do anything about it.

64 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/06/2013

The driver side door locks have faulty actuator pumps. The doors will lock and unlock at inappropriate times and the passenger side door lock will initially lock and then unlock while the car is in motion. We're getting the door locks fixed out of pocket, but this level of failure seems unreasonable for the age and condition of this car. Honda needs to assist with repairs and/or help owners pay for the fix.

65 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2008 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/02/2013

Pre-mature door lock actuator failure. Actuator fails causing the door locks to not unlock electronically as a result of failed electronic door lock actuators.

66 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2010 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 11/01/2013

The power locks are not working properly. I first noticed that the locks would cycle locked and unlocked after I had the car for about a year. It would happen randomly but while I was driving. Within the last six months, I couldn't get the car to open using the button on the key, I have to use the key in the driver's side door and, once inside the car, reach over to the door that I want to open to manually open it with my hand. The trunk will open if I cycle the driver's side door electric lock/unlock button several times. When I am driving the doors will cycle locked/unlocked until I move the manual indicator several times. I am seeing a problem where all of the doors at one time or another have been in the opposite position than the other three doors, so it is a problem with all of the doors. I'm seeing a lot of complaints about this problem and even a lawsuit online. I spoke to Honda today at 800-999-1009 and said there was nothing they could do since the car is out of warranty (it's 4 years old with about 60k miles on it). It seems like this is a bigger problem for many models of Honda vehicles.

69 Latches/locks/linkage problem of the 2007 Honda CR-V

Failure Date: 10/29/2013

The power switches on doors are easy to fail. The actuator failed and the door is getting 'locked' itself which could be an issue if child is left in the car with key. I got the first incident of this issue on my passenger - right door about 6 months ago and now got the same issue on door in driver seat.
