Problems with 2007 Honda CR-V ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Rear passenger door would not lock causing automatic locks to try to re-lock every time i resumed driving after a stop light/sign. i was unable to lock the door with the driver's door lock button, remote, or manually. the problem has continued and the majority of the time the door is unlocked, but occasionally, the door will lock itself and i am unable to open it via remote, driver's door button, or manually. this is a safety issue regardless of whether the door is permanently locked or unlocked, putting passengers at risk either way. *js

Rear hatch will not unlock. unable to unlock rear passenger door. i've been told it is an defective door lock actuator. a class action suit was filed in april 2013 regarding this issue. i called honda who said there were no recalls and that i should take it to my local dealer to evaluate the situation. perhaps honda should consider recalling the defective actuators. being unable to unlock car doors on a vehicle is completely unsafe. *tr

Yesterday, after returning home, i tried to open the trunk of my crv. it would not release using either the key-based unlocking mechanism or by using the interior locking system. upon further investigation, i discovered that the left, rear passenger door was also unable to unlock through any means. the trunk and the door were, effectively, frozen in place. i have taken my car into honda service today (ron tonkin honda in portland) and they are unable to unlock the left, rear passenger door or trunk through manipulation of the vehicles computer. this will necessitate the removal, and likely braking, of the door's panel, which they estimated will cost over $1000, not counting the replacement of the doors actuator, which is what has likely failed. in an emergency situation, this kind of failure would lead to a situation where someone could not be able to exit the car or someone wouldn't be able to enter the car to assist an injured passenger. my 3 year old rides in the rear of the vehicle every day and this scenario is terrifying to me. based on my reading, i see that there are numerous complaints of this issue (including a class-action lawsuit in newark, nj), but no recall or acknowledgement of the problem has been issued by honda. i am hopeful that my reporting this will result in an acknowledgement of the problem by honda and a recall of the part and replacement with a proven part which is not vulnerable to the same kind of failure. *tr

2007 honda cr-v rear door lock. when lock the door and started driving, the rear door lock automatically unlock while car is in motion. rear door lock cannot be lock at all, the door lock will auto re-open after each lock. *tr

The door locks activate inappropriately when the car is stopped. i unlock the doors to take my children out of the back of the car, and the car locks itself within 2-3 seconds before i can even open the back door. beyond just being annoying, this is a major safety issue. *tr

At first the passenger side door to my honda 2007 crv unlocks by itself, even after i lock it with the remote or manually. when i slow down to 10 mpr it would unlock and lock by itself. now, the door only locks itself, even if the door is locked, it locks again, but now a annoying squeaking loud noise. i called the dealer and the cost is $375. i am hoping no more doors will need repairs to the door actuator as 4 doors @ 375 = a lot of money. honda needs to do a recall on this! *tr

My rear passenger door locks started to make a whirring noise when the automatic 9mph designed lock system engaged and also anytime i locked my doors. i disengaged the automatic 9mph designed lock. but it still does this when i lock the vehicle with my key. at times it also locks and unlocks when i am driving. since my inspection was due shortly i waited to have it repaired. when i took it to the honda dealer they quoted me approx $350.00 to repair. since i did not have the money at that time i ask if it would hurt to leave as is for awhile, they advised me no, but at some point i may not be able to lock on unlock the passenger door. i then looked online and saw all the problems everyone was having with this same issue. i confronted the dealer and he said it was the actuator and i ask him when honda was going to have a recall. he said it is not a safety issue, so most likely there will be no recall. i have 38, 000 miles on my vehicle and do all the maintenance as required. honda should acknowledge this problem and do right by their customers. this is a safety issue especially for small children and if you need to lock your doors for your own safety. *tt

Driver side door continues to self-lock when trying to open car door for entrance. if the car door handle is pulled after 2 seconds, the driver door locks along with all other doors on the vehicle. i have been a honda car driver for the majority of my driving life. i love honda brand of cars because they are such a dependable car with regular maintenance upkeep, however this is frustrating as i am now fearful that i might actually become locked in my car and would need to climb out of the window to exit. *tr

Door actuator unlock after locking it. *tr

After unlocking door with switch or keyfob all doors will start to lock themselves. my wife and daughter were in the car and couldn't figure out how to get out. i'm concerned this is a potential safety issue as they can't get out in case of an accident. the dealer tested it and confirmed there was a short in the master window switch and could be a short in the micu multi-plex body control unit. first recommended to replace the master window switch ($400) and then the other part if that doesn't work. *tr

Front drivers side and front passenger door locks did not activate per design when reaching speed of 9 mph. consider this to be a safety problem in that driver or passenger could open doors while traveling at high rates of speed or in case of accident doors could open exposing driver or passenger to harm. *tr

Initially, over a year ago, the power door lock actuator would make a high pitched humming/whining noise when activated, but the door locks still worked properly back then. in the last two months, the door locks sound as if they are locking and unlocking repeatedly and continuously on their own without any human intervention as i drive the vehicle. the locking/unlocking noise seems to be related to the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. this is a safety issue as the door locks will not remain locked as i drive the vehicle. my internet search reveals that this is a common problem with honda crv's from 2007 to 2011. this safety problem should be the subject of a recall. honda knows of the problem as there is at least one lawsuit seeking class certification in the united states district court for the district of new jersey, but honda will not fix the problem. see http://www.chimicles.com/honda-and-acura-door-lock-actuator-failure. a similar power door lock actuator problem on earlier years honda crvs was widespread also according to information that i read on the internet. *tr

2007 honda cr-v, started with rear passenger door lock not unlocking. within one week all door locks were not unlocking. now the driver's door will lock and unlock while driving. i have about 1 second to pull the handle once i press unlock (on remote or within the vehicle) to open the door or it locks itself again. after vehicle it shut off 2 doors will not lock and vehicle is left unlocked. this is a huge safety issue with my children in the car! honda needs to address, recall and fix this problem immediately. *tr

The passenger door lock will not stay unlocked no matter whether i unlock it from outside with the remote or from the inside driver lock button. it unlocks then a couple seconds later, it locks itself. this happens every time i unlock the door - not sporadically. *tr

Passenger door will unlocked after locking manually, with remote, when its to auto lock after you start driving over 15 mph. cannot lock passenger door at all. *tr

The lock on my right passenger and rear/trunk doors locked and were unable to unlock (could not open manually either). the car was parked in my garage when this occurred. the dealership wanted to charge me $860.00 to repair both locks. after contacting america honda, the price was dropped to $401.00. apparently the problems were the fuse box problem and the door latch actuator. i feel this to be a safety concern especially since i have a toddler who could have been or may be trapped in the car when the doors lock. this is a defect of the vehicle and not a maintenance that i neglected to service or upkeep therefore i feel that i should not have to pay anything and the car should be recalled since i've read enough complaints regarding the crv door locks. i am the original owner of this car and have only taken my car to honda dealership for services. *tr

We are having a problem with the door locks on our cr-v. the locks will not stay open for more than 2 seconds. one fob key will open the door. but we have to be ready to open the door at the exact second we hit the fob. the turn key lock does not work. while in the vehicle, whether the ignition is on or off...if we hit the unlock button-it locks again immediately. we are concerned about getting out of the vehicle incase of an emergency. we contacted our honda dealer when this first occurred and was told the problem is the driver door actuator. after doing some research we found this to a wide spread issue and a big enough problem to make the tv news in two different states. before filing this complaint, i called honda corp and explained our issue with the cr-v and found their response to the issue to be very blazay. i explained our research findings and was told to have a diagnostic test done to see if it is a honda defect or our problem. there is a charge for that as well. also in doing the research, we found that doing the driver side door will not take care of the problem and all the doors will eventually need a new actuator. the price is $350 or more per door. this is definitely a major safety issue that honda need to address. *tr

the car automatically locks and unlocks several times while i am driving. i am not able to lock my rear passenger door on the driver side. my car is always unlocked. very unsafe. i am always afraid that someone will get into my car and run away. it's very annoying to hear the doors lock and unlock themselves the hole time i am driving. i know lots of other people had the same problem with the 2007 honda cr-v. i hope that honda would fix these problems immediately. *tr

From august 2013, right front door started to lock by itself right after i unlock it. several weeks later, the right rear door started to keep locking itself with very loud noise when the speed of car reaches 20~30 miles/hour. it was very annoying and i fixed the car, which cost me over $300. however, now the left rear door started to keep locking whenever the car reaches to the speed of 20~30 miles/hour. *tr

Several months ago, i noticed that the lock on the right front passenger's side door of my 2007 honda cr-v would engage and disengage while i was driving. the lock shifted every time i came to a stop sign or traffic light, then would continue to unlock and re-lock every time i went above/below 15 mph. when i put the car in park, however, the lock would re-engage and the car would remain locked. now the lock on this door does not lock at all, regardless of whether the car is in motion. the lock also does not lock when the car is in park. the remote lock does not work, even though the horn beeps and the locks attempt to engage as if the vehicle doors were all locked and remain locked. this morning (july 1, 2013) the back rear passenger's side door began to have the same problem. i had previously mentioned this issue during a service appointment, at which time a honda-certified technician at lehigh valley honda told me that he had "never heard of this problem" and it would "probably just click back into place." i later made mention of the same problem during my inspection two weeks ago, but they did not have time to investigate the issue that day. i just spoke with the same location and have an appointment for july 5 to see if they can "diagnose" the problem. the manager told me he didn't want to "diagnose this over the phone" but insist they give the vehicle a complete workup -- which i am fine with, so long as i am not being charged for labor. this seems like a very real safety issue, as door locks that become disengaged while the car is moving would put anyone in fear of having small children or pets in the back seat. i hope honda sees it necessary to issue a recall and fix the actuator, which is what seems to be the chief complaint among over cr-v owners. *tr

The car locks automatically 2-5 seconds after it is put into gear. lately, the locks have begun to unlock and relock several times while driving. when i get to my destination, i am unable to open the passenger door, either manually, with the key fab or with the lock button. i have to use one hand to open the lock lever and the other to open the car door. i have also locked my car, went into a store, and come back to the doors being unlocked. very unsafe. honda needs to recall immediately for repair. besides a child being able to open the door, i am very vulnerable to someone entering into my car and waiting for me. i see so many complaints online for the very same reason. there is even a class action lawsuit. when i called the dealership, they said it is the first they heard of the problem. how can that be? *tr

The doors will lock and unlock on there own at random times. you can unlock the doors with the key fob and they will re-lock themselves within a few seconds. this can be very dangerous as they can unlock while driving or a child could get locked in the vehicle. this is apparently a very widely known issue at honda. *tr

The passenger side door lock will not remain locked. it will unlock by itself and when the car is in motion at more the 10 mph the lock will cycle between locking and unlocking. it is the same problem that many other honda owners of a cr-v appear to be having. a passenger must than ride with the door unlocked and i feel this is a safety hazard. also, the car can't be secured when parked. honda corp. is aware of this problem but has not made any effort to correct it. honda corp. states that this is normal wear and tear and because it is out of the warranty mileage(36,000) it is the owners responsibility to pay for this repair. to me this sounds more like a design flaw and honda should stand behind their product. *tr

While riding there was a noise from the passenger side of car and it was the automatic door lock when the car is moving. the lock kept locking and very slowly unlocking. when i stopped the car (motor off) i tried it again with the same result. the passenger door locked and the slowly just unlocked by itself. i now have 20,033 miles on car and my extended warranty expired on may 11, 2013. now i can not secure my car when left unattended. *tr

Passenger door lock actuator(s) engage and disengage on their own - locking door within seconds on door being unlocked and unlocking passenger sporadically while driving with no ability keep door locked when car is in motion. a serious safety hazard has emerged as a result of the door actuator malfunction.

On monday june 24, 2013, i put my children in the car, fastened their car seats, walked around to my driver door to find it locked. my children were locked in the vehicle in my garage with the keys in the ignition. (thank goodness i was still at home and was able to locate the spare key) the car is automatically locking itself within seconds of the unlock button being pressed on the remote. it locks and unlocks itself while driving at this point (july 1, 2013) this again poses a large hazard to transport children in a car whose doors unlock while driving. absolutely a safety defect! after some online research, this is a very common safety malfunction in 2007 crv's, yet honda has not made a recall. i guess they are not that concerned about safety. *tr

After shopping, used car fob to unlock doors. tailgate was still locked. driver side second row door also still locked. multiple attempts to get the doors unlocked failed. used key to unlock driver door. tried the power locks from the inside. other than the driver's door, the car was still locked. went to dealer, where a tech physically wrenched the passenger side door to open. for the next two days, the power locks constantly "kachunked" as i was driving, trying to repeatedly lock and unlock. back to dealer, having discovered that the 2007 cr v had numerous problems with the locks. dealer claimed to be surprised to hear this. no, honda would not consider this a flaw, and i had to pay to have the door locks fixed. i told them that this was hugely dangerous, that randomly locking doors which wouldn't unlock were a genuine hazard. i attempted to call honda corporate to no avail. i believe this problem is sufficiently dangerous to warrant a recall. *tr

Just like many complaints about the front passenger's door lock unlocked by itself or just simply won't lock at all. it costs over 200 bucks to fix it and they won't fix it for free...after all, it's a manufacturer's defect. no wonder my sister said: "never, never and never buy another honda!!!" *tr

The actuators that normally lock all door when the speed reaches approximately 15 mph are malfunctioning. currently, after every stop and start the door actuator seems to lock and unlock the doors multiple times. *tr

Passenger side door does not lock. i have a child and it poses a safety risk as the door does not lock. this poses a lot of risk to thief and others as it is not working as designed. *tr

Drivers door key wont open door. *tr

The front passenger door will not stay unlocked. as soon as you unlock it, it relocks in less than a second. people have trouble getting out of the car, which is obviously a safety issue. *tr

The front 2 doors lock and unlock at random times. the front passenger door would not allow my daughter to get out of car or allow me to open manually from the outside. the is a very big safety hazard. honda dealership wants $400.00 per door to fix. i guess they are waiting until someone dies from this to recall. *tr

My door locks (all of them) would not stay unlocked longer than 2-3 seconds when i want to leave the vehicle. i have carefully coordinate pressing the unlock button on my key with actually opening the door. if i am not quick enough, i must repeat the action. this very clearly looks like a safety issue. and by now honda knows this is not an isolated case. will it require a minimum number of deaths or injuries because the occupant can't get out of the vehicle in time in case of an accident or fire, etc. ?? the cost for the replacement of the actuators should not be borne by the owners. ( up to 4 @ $400 each). *tr

On june 10, 2013 i brought my 2007 crv into honda north, danvers, ma to get my annual inspection & a routine maintenance service. i mentioned i was having problems with my passenger door lock which was starting to lock automatically. the diagnostic uncovered that there was a problem with my actuator and on 6/28/13 i had this replaced for $325. on 6/29/13, one day later all "4" doors had problems. my two small children got locked in the car with it running when i stepped out of the driver door to retrieve something from the hatch back. when i closed the driver door, all "4" doors locked automatically and my two small children were locked inside!!! i can no longer use the remote key to open the doors, when i manually open the doors i have 2 seconds before all "4" doors lock to get inside. i am afraid that my children will get locked inside again or if there is an emergency they will be trapped inside. honda needs to fix this actuator failure before there are further incidents or fatalities because of this!! so far i have spent too much time & money on repairs and i want peace of mind that i have properly functioning locks. *tr

The passengers automatic door lock with lock automatically, then after 2 seconds it will un-lock automatically. this issue just started to happen appx 3 weeks ago. we cannot lock the passengers door anytime (i.e. during driving and/or parked in the carport). *tr

While driving my car, i noticed that the door locks started unlocking on and off with every acceleration increase of 10-15 mph (major safety issue for occupants). in addition, the passenger side door will not lock with the electronic key or by manual push. worse, the door lock problem led to my car being vulnerable to unlawful entry, and sure enough, my car was ransacked (items stolen) this week after i thought all my "dependable honda" doors were locked. after researching, i am disgusted to see that many honda cr-v (2007 model) drivers are experiencing exact or similar problems with the doors (un)locking. it is unbelievable that this safety issue hasn't been recalled yet. very unhappy!!! *tr

Electrical door locks started lock/unlock erratically themselves ,all doors.. while driving, stopping, parking. when you stop the car, they locking themselves and you can't open door till you press lock manually or remove the keys and press open button . *tr

I noticed today that the front passenger door lock will lock and then slowly unlock. it locks both with the remote and the auto lock feature, but will not stay locked. *tr

Passenger side door lock started to unlock randomly, then would lock and unlock when driving. all other doors remained locked. i tried to reset auto locks in accordance with the honda crv owners manual. this worked a couple times for a day or so, then back to the same old locking /unlocking. the passenger door does not lock at all now leaving my vehicle and passengers in danger. when searching thru the internet for other possible fixes, i was caught off guard in finding so many others with the same issue. i see there was a recall on the 2006 honda crv's i have a 2007. in this day and age, there is a safe feeling when driving around and you have the security of a locked car door. i am not feeling very safe in my car these days and hope something is done by honda regarding this problem. *tr

The automatic door locks continually lock and unlock themselves. each time i restart the car, the door locks will automatically lock. after a few minutes, they will unlock by themselves. *tr

The first sign of a door locking problem started with my rear hatch not opening. the next day i found the rear passenger door does not lock and the locks keep clicking as you drive. my research on the internet tells me after drivers pay honda many hundreds of dollars for this repair the problem returns on another door or the actuator they replace fails again.this is a safety hazard for both a passenger falling out or a criminal getting in and attacking someone or stealing the car and or its contents. why is nothing being done when so many people are at risk.this is not a potential problem, it is an existing problem for crv, civic and accord drivers. *tr

The doors and trunk on my vehicles locks automatically after seconds of being open if you are in the car without the keypad you will be locked in the car the unlock button in the car doesn't work. *tr

Even when you lock it (or it locks automatically above 10 mph), the front two door locks will automatically open, when driving or even after parking the car. based upon other posts, this seems to be a chronic problem with the door lock actuator, and should be the subject of a recall. *tr ## vin failed ##

Without warning, immediately after unlocking the door it would relock its self. *tr

Around time indicated, doors started to lock and unlock by themselves as soon as speed reached 10-15 mph. it was the mechanic from dealership who first paid attention to this problem while on a test drive for another problem. currently, the rear passenger door lock is the one that gives the most trouble. it locks and unlocks itself with loud noise and rattling. other locks continue to act chaotically but at least they are quiet. today, i could not open the trunk door without starting the car. *tr

While driving at approximately 25mph or while stopped, or while parked the door locks will lock and unlock on their own. my wife and i watched the door unlock while parked with the ignition turned off. this issue presents serious safety and security concerns. *tr

I'm having issues with the front passenger door lock mechanism. a couple weeks ago, i could not get the door to unlock. i tried the remote, the automatic button on the door, and even manually locking. nothing worked. then, yesterday, the opposite began. the front passenger door will not stay locked. again, trying all means of locking and nothing keeps it locked. it will initially lock, but slowly unlocks. as i'm driving, it will try to lock again at 9 mph, but doesn't hold. so, in stop and go traffic, i get to hear my door locking over and over again. i have seen several posts experiencing the identical issue. my dealer could not find any recall information. *tr

First issue was related to front passenger-side door lock. the lock can only be unlocked from the driver's side or with the keyless remote. several weeks later, the rear passenger lock on the driver's side began locking and unlocking when i went above or below 10 miles per hour. my mechanic said it was probably the door actuator and that i should take it to the dealer. i have not done that to date because i viewed it as more nuisance than safety related. after reviewing some online information i realized my first assumption may be incorrect. i called honda national to see what they had on this issue and possible remedies. i was informed that there was only a three year window for electrical issues; however, since the car is six years old, i will be financially responsible. *tr
