2007 Honda CR-V electrical complaints
Page 4 of 10: complaints 71 to 100 of 264, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Hello. Starting in april 2014, when ever I would drive my car the locks woud begin unlocking and relocking creating a safety issue. The issue progressively deteriorated until I went to my local browns city honda with the issue resulting in my paying a $377.42 invoice to replace the actuator/door lok in my 2007 honda crv. Further moore, it was only in the last visit to the local honda dealer, where I made purchaes this car and a previoulsy purchased new 2010 honda civic, at browns city hoda, in glen burnie, md 21061, that a service honda customer service tech advised my od a recall on the actuator door lock. Today and also on june 6, 2015 I called honda for assistance with downloading the form for a reimbursement request, and the honda rep declined assist to find the form then said that recall reimbursement expired on july 6, 2015, four days ago. Not once in the previous conversatopn with a honda customer service rep was such mentioned. To further add injury to insult, the honda rep stated that honda is not responsible. Please advise.
My door locks unlock and lock while driving. While my passenger back door does not lock. I had bought an extended warranty for the vehicle but when I took it to the dealership they said they are aware of the problem but it will cost money to fix. Same thing happened when their was a recall on the rear diff. Fluid even though the car was under the 30k warranty they tried to charge me 350$ to fix it. Also the leather on both front doors started peeling under warranty and the dealership tried to charge me for it.
My 2007 honda cr-v has had a lock actuator malfunction passenger door remains unlocked/locked while driving and unlocks when I try to lock the car, which is a huge safety risk! Also, the door lock and unlock when I got below 10mph and make a huge clicking sound. I can not drive one of my nephews in the front passenger side to avoid safety concerns, every night when I lock my car, the right rear passenger door is unlocked or locked....depending on it's mood. I have read online that there is no recall for this huge safety risk and that this is typical of honda and its electrical system. If I want honda to fix the problem, it will cost over $700 for a problem caused by honda. I have read online hundreds of other 2007 honda cr-v owners who are experiencing the same lock actuator issue and feel their safety is at risk for their passengers and for the car in general. I received a recall for the driver door but there needs to be a recall the passenger door and not have to wait for a reimbursement. I do home when they fix my driver door that works they will fix the window that shakes if I let in halt way down.
Several years ago our front passenger and one of the rear doors would not remain unlocked or locked, depending on their mood. Nor could we unlock the front passenger door from the inside. We had to get something fixed - the lock actuator I believe it is called. A few months back, sep/oct 2014, our passenger side door would not remain unlocked for more than two seconds, though we could lock/unlock from the fob or the passenger or driver side lock controls. Since december, we can not even use the outside key lock, and can only unlock the car from the fob, and the driver side door still will not remain unlocked. Now I hear this is a common problem with our 2007 crv. Before I bring my car in for expensive repairs on something honda got wrong, I am filing this complaint. As this is a safety problem.. Can not unlock the door to get out in case of an emergency, and could not get into the car if our fob fails, which I hear also happens, honda should fix this.
For over a year, my 2007 honda cr-v has had a lock actuator malfunction where the right year passenger door remains unlocked while driving and unlocks when I try to lock the car. My 4 year old nephew was in the back seat and was able to open the door while we were in motion which is a huge safety risk! Also, the doors lock and unlock when I got below and above 10mph and make a huge clicking sound. Not only can I only drive one of my nephews in my car at a time and they must sit on the left side to avoid them opening the door again, every night when I lock my car, the right rear passenger door is unlocked and anyone can get in the car. Also, anyone is able to jump in my car if I am at a stop light, and living in dc, that is a definite possibility! Now today when I went to go to work, both of my fab remote entry keys stopped working and I cant get in my car. I have read online that there is no recall for this huge safety risk and that this is typical of honda and its electrical system. If I want honda to fix the problem, it will cost over $1,000 for a problem caused by honda. I have read online hundreds of other 2007 honda cr-v owners who are experiencing the same lock actuator issue and feel their safety is at risk for their passengers and for the car in general. Please let me know if there is a recall from honda and if this safety risk is being addressed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle started to sputter and made a jerking motion after the engine and vehicle stability warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the cylinder tube misfired and the computer failed and needed to be replaced. In addition, the contact stated that all of the doors would lock and unlock without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the door lock actuator failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 173,000.
Passenger side door lock will not stay locked! And the other three doors lock seconds after unlocking them with remote?
I made the decision to buy this car for safety reasons. Now I can lose my key at anytime or leave me stranded bc the fob encasing is weak and they know this because the service manager at the dealership in my town felt bad and took pity on me and "replaced" the casing for me twice now and 'only' charged me $40 each time. The door intermittently locks me out or comes on and off. I went to have it repaired and I can't afford the $300 just to see if it'll work. Now - I live in a high humidity area and no recall for our airbags. I have a child that rides with me regularly and it's like playing roulette. Thanks honda. My pilot I had to get rid of for stopping for no reason while driving - well I thought it was a fluke. Honda is no longer the company it used to be. How about owning up to what your weaknesses and just taking care of them because people are buying your products? Should be criminal to do these things to people. Well maybe we will either die because we're stranded on side of the road in the middle of nowhere because somebody kills us. Or maybe we'll just get locked in our vehicle and die in a fiery crash bc we can't get out. Or maybe we get lucky because the airbags explode and shoot metal at us and it goes quick. This is disgusting. I will never buy another honda.
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!!!"
The rear right side door works the opposite of the other doors, with switching the gear from drive to park, with the remote, or using the drivers side button. All three doors will unlock but the rear right side door unlocks and then locks back up again. And when I lock all the doors the rear right side door unlocks, which makes it unsafe while driving and kids in the back seat or when the car is parked overnight (vehicle mileage 74,600). Please help.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. While traveling approximately 20 MPH, the front and rear driver side door unlocked independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the door lock actuators needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. In addition, the front passenger side door failed to open with the key fob. The vehicle had not been repaired for the recent failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 118,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated the doors locked independently immediately after the key was removed from the ignition switch. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact suspected that the failure was due to a faulty door lock actuator. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000.
Battery dead after sitting overnight.
The door lock actuators on our 2007 cr-v started to malfunction a few years ago. They automatically lock and unlock while driving and the rear drivers side door will not lock at all. This is a serious safety concern. We also have lost items to criminals that have on multiple occasions gotten into the car through the un-lockable door. We got some of these actuators fixed before our extended warranty expired - but since then, they have failed once again and now we beyond the 100,000 mile warranty period. We see online that this is common problem that honda has been ignoring and now have no recourse but to complain to you fine government people to make them take care of their responsibility to provide us a safe vehicle that we can lock. All we want is for honda to fix the problem on our car with door actuators that do not leave us vulnerable to criminals. Please make it so that we can lock the doors on our car.
The door locks are locking or unlocking on their own at different times while the vehicle is moving. Passengers are unable to open their doors at certain times.
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.
Front passenger door will not stay in unlocked position after using manual unlock, or key fob. Just forces back to locked. Am concerned that if there is a crash - the door will not be able to be opened.
The rear passenger door automatically unlocks after main lock button is pushed on interior of driver's door as well as on the key fob. All other locks can easily lock/unlock manually except this door. It seems to be stuck until the button on driver's side door is pushed to lock. But almost instantly, it will unlock again. Anytime the car is driven past 9mph, the car keeps trying to lock all the doors making an annoying noise.
Rear driver door comes unlocked when driving or when parked. Will not stay locked.
On august 8, 2014 my cr-v would not start. I called road side assistance and they came and jumped the battery. I took the vehicle and had a diagnostic test ran on the battery and both the battery and alternator were charging. On august 19, 2014, my cr-v would not start for the 2nd time. This time I took it to a repair shop and had the battery,starter and alternator diagnostic check done, all were charging and working without incident.the mechanic stated that the battery cables were loose, so he tightened them. On august 23, 2014 my cr-v would not start for the 3rd time. I am completely at a loss and do not know what can be done.
I have owned the car since august 3, 2007. Only superior honda and jeff wyler honda has serviced my car. July, 1, 2014 the starter made a clicking noise especially when first starting the car in the morning. Jeff wyler just gave me a statement from honda corporation office stating that if a customer complains about a clicking noise do not bother to fix it. There is nothing you can do it is a quirk with the starter relay system. Just tell them to turn the key faster. I have turned my key the same way for the past 7 years and have never heard this sound. If this is a "known" quirk since 2001 then why don't they get an engineer to design a new starter. I am sure the starter is going bad in the car. It never did this before, but the service manager at performance honda which I took it to at the advice of the case manager at honda corporation told me he could make all the hondas on his lot make the same sound. God forbid if you had a disability and could not turn your key fast enough you would never get your car started. This is ridiculous. If they replace my starter they tell me it will have the same problem, but why did this only start happening now? I am afraid to drive my car more than 15 miles from home. I want to visit my daughter in florida who is in the navy, but I am afraid to drive the car that far.
Drivers and passenger side doors will automatically relock everytime you unlock the doors. It started with the drivers side door, then a few weeks later, the passenger door. To unlock doors you have to physically hit unlock button, then you have half a second to get door open before it locks again on its own. The whole car be unlocked but you can't get into the front doors. I feel this is a safety issue, because if I were in an accident or had some kind of emergency, the front doors wouldn't unlock or open long enough to get out. My kids have a problem getting out, so I won't let them sit in front seat anymore. Hoping that the back doors don't start acting up. Doing research on this, I see that honda has had class action law suits filed about this same problem, and many complaints about the same issue. On one site it says they had a recall on this in late 2012, but I haven't seen any thing else about a recall.
Door locks automatically lock all four doors. As soon as you unlock them, they lock again. You can not use the manual unlock because it seems frozen and can only unlock the car using the key fob and then they lock again right away. This is a serious hazard for obvious reasons and honda needs to take responsibility for this and make it part of a national recall. Online forums are loaded with honda owners experiencing the same and/or similar problems. A class action suit was filed early 2013 regarding this specific issue. Results, if any, are not known.
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.
The rear and front passenger door locks will automatically unlock after being locked. The lock button also will not consistently lock any of the doors in the car. Therefore I have 2 doors in my call that will never lock. This poses a safety issue for not only myself but also any passengers that I have with me. It also put any of possessions that are left in the car vulnerable to theft. This is the same problem has occurred in earlier models and honda has recalled this issue, yet in later models the same issue is happening yet no recall has been made.
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.
As reported by a number of other honda crv owners, my front passenger door lock unlocks itself. I first noticed it after something was stolen from my car. I could not understand how that was possible because I needed to unlock my driver's side door to get into the car. I never checked the passenger door lock. I then noticed that the car doors continued to lock as I was driving. I looked over and noticed that the passenger door lock would unlock as soon as it locked. So now the lock mechanism keeps trying to lock the door after every stop. This is clearly a safety issue and a recall needs to be made for a faulty part. The safety issue is threefold: 1) preventing items or the car from being stolen because the car cannot be locked; 2) driving in a large city and not being able to lock the passenger side door. I am fearful that someone could enter the car while I am stopped in unsafe locations; 3) I park in a garage and sometimes leave late in the evening. I need to make sure there is no one in my car now before I enter it. Gm waited too long to recall their cars. I am asking honda to be more proactive since this is a know issue. I believe there is a class action suit currently pending for this issue, so there are obviously a large number of honda owners who have experienced this issue but may have not reported it here.
This is a serious safety issue. The lock on the right side rear will not open manually nor will it open with the remote except for about one second when the remote is pressed. If there had been any kind of emergency anyone in that seat would not have been able to get out. Complained to the dealer, but because it was out of warranty it will cost about $300 to fix. Thought this issue should be reported as a warning to others with keyless entry remotes. Very dangerous.
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.
