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. *tr
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the door locks would independently become unlocked. the failure started on the rear passenger's side door and progressed until all doors in the vehicle were affected. the vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed to determine the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 111,000. *tr
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. *tr
The front passenger door lock does not remain locked, it unlocks itself immediately after locking. *tr
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. *tr
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. *tr
Issues involving door locks unlocking and locking while driving. cannot open back hatch most of the time. wife has witnessed doors unresponsive to opening at times, both inside and outside. *tr

Front passenger door lock actuator bad. the door would not stay in locked position. *tr
My grandson went to get out of the passenger front side of car. it would not unlock. he had to climb over to the driver seat to get out. the next day i went to open the trunk and it was lock. i do a lot of picking up of my grandchildren and i'm afraid that they will get stuck in the event of an accident. what a shame to have to worry about this and the cost i will have to incur. *tr
Passenger door lock will remain open after pressing lock button on key. if driven, latch will automatically lock then open. lock actuator has a grinding sound when locking or unlocking. *tr
The door lock on both the drivers side door and the drivers side rear door have been having problems with the door lock actuator where the door will not securely lock when the door lock is activated. the back drivers side door in particular will initially lock then slowly unlock within 2 seconds and the front door will sometimes just not lock at all, almost like it is stuck. *js
Unable to unlock the driver door after parking car. tried using unlock button on door panel, unlock button on key and tried manually using key in driver door lock. unable to open driver side door at all. climbed over to passenger side to exit car. unable to open tailgate automatically or manually as well. *tr

Power door locks failure on two doors - one door will unlock by itself all the time. after 2 months the door lock on another door malfunctioned with the opposite problem - the door locks by itself all the time. *tr
In the last two weeks, suddenly the door locks won't remain open after opening with key fob. the door locks will open for a second or two, but then automatically return to the locked position. appears to be an electro-mechanical malfunction with the electronics and locking actuators. this occurs on all doors (front and rear, including tailgate door), in all scenarios (engine running; engine not running; door open; door shut; key in ignition; key out of ignition). in addition, the door lock/unlock buttons on the door panel will not unlock manually....it's like the door lock button is stuck in the locked position. it takes a great amount of force to unlock the button, but then it automatically returns to the locked position. have been unable to locate source of problem. this is a real safety issue! *tr
Right rear door, actuator switch making a horrible noise. sometimes the door will not lock at all. i have read of literally hundreds of other honda crv's that do the same thing and honda should stand behind this defect instead of ignoring it. they should live up to their reputation! *tr
Passenger door locks and unable to open in emergency. *jb
When i accelerated from a stopped position at a stoplight, my vehicle automatically locked all the doors (which it had done upon leaving the parking lot). i thought this strange. then i looked and saw that the front passenger side lock unlocked itself as soon as the doors had locked. when i stopped again at another light, it repeated the pattern. due to the fact that the front passenger side door was unlocked, the car locked all doors, and then the front passenger side door unlocked itself again. this repeats every time i stop anywhere. it is not safe. i am unable to keep my doors locked when driving. also, if i lock my car when i leave my vehicle, the alarm will sound within minutes due to the car "unlocking" itself again. i am unable to secure my vehicle due to the malfunctioning front passenger door lock. according to research, this is a common complain that the manufacturer has been aware of for several years. i do not understand why this has continued. i do not have the money for repairs, so i endanger myself and my family every time we travel in this vehicle without being secure with proper door locks. *tr
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda crv. the contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the front passenger's side power door lock actuator caused the door to independently unlock. in addition, the lift gate would not release upon engagement. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 84,000....updated 10-24-13 *bf the consumer stated after the driver's side door lock was repaired the passenger's side door then failed a short time later. updated 11/1/2013 *js
Left rear door will not stay locked. *tr
Door lock problem: driver's side rear door intermittently does not lock. this occurs when key fob is used, when power door lock button is used, and when door is locked manually. additionally, while driving, intermittently the door locks and unlocks within seconds of itself. honda dealer replaced actuator as a non-warranty repair. *tr
On 08/09/2013 i parked my honda crv in my driveway and locked my car with my keyless remote. one hour later our family decided to go out to dinner. we went out to our car and it wouldn't open. tired the key in the door and tried the keyless remote also tried the spare keyless remote, would not open. at 9:30 p.m. we call aaa to open the car, at 10 p.m. aaa showed up and opened the front passenger door. he got the door open, we decided to take the car to the honda dealer in the morning. during the night, the doors automatically locked. i needed to go to work, had to get a ride with someone else. my husband waited 3 hours for a tow-truck to show up to take it to a honda dealership. we were very surprised to find out this was not covered by a recall, this is a safety issue. where we live the temperature during the day in august runs from 95 degrees to 110 degrees, if this happened during the day and children were in the car, this could cause death.
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. the contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the rear driver's side automatic door failed to lock as designed upon reaching 9 mph. in addition, the rear driver's side door would not lock automatically when exiting the vehicle. the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
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
Front driver door is locked and can't open from inside using remote or manually. climbed over to the passenger door and tried to open the driver door from outside also unable to do so. 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. honda is aware of this problem and have neither recall or cover it under warranty. *js
Door actuator unlock after locking it. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the driver's side door failed to remain locked. the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 53,000.
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. the contact stated that the power locks would engage independently while the contact was driving various speeds. the contact did not take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the failure mileage was 129,000. ...updated 08-08-13 *bf the consumer stated the rear passenger door lock will not stay locked. within one second of engaging locks, the door unlocked and remained unlocked. the actuator was replaced under warranty.
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
Door locks will not remain locked or will lock again before we can open the doors. *tr
The crv locks the doors and tailgate automatically when the vehicle reaches a certain speed. our crv locked itself according to this protocol. we then parked the car, turned off the ignition and tried to exit the car. the front passenger door would not unlock, and there was no way to manually override this problem. we exited via the driver's side and then discovered that the tailgate was also jammed in the locked position. we have taken the car to the dealer who sold it, and he has told us that there is no way to override the locking mechanism once it has jammed in the locked position. repair will cost hundreds of dollars because the passenger front door has to be dis-assembled from the inside. the absence of a manual override is a serious safety issue. we could have been locked in the car with no way to get out!! thankfully only two of the five locks failed!!!! *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
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
