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.
Door locks are locking and unlocking while driving.
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.
For the last 2 years my 2007 cr-v has had issues with electric door-lock operation 1)the passenger door does not unlock. Unlocking all doors via drivers side or key fob momentarily opens the passenger lock ? It then automatically locks again in 2-4 seconds. This is a safety issue as the passenger cannot get out in the event of an emergency. Door handle operation does not over-ride the lock ? And the 2-4 second window electronically unlocking is difficult to synchronize handle operation in the best of circumstance. 2)in addition, all door locks continuously lock?lock?.lock when driving forward @ approximately 8-10km/hour. I am the original owner. There are many similar complaints ? I see ~ 105 at
Passenger door lock will remain lock after pressing unlock button on key and on door. Lock actuator has a grinding sound when locking.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Door actuator unlock after locking it.
Passenger side door lock will lock itself after door is unlocked using remote. Missed an entire day of work because I locked myself out of the car yesterday. I'm in the medical field so it was a burden on many sick individuals who needed my help.
Driver side door lock will not work, only manually , now all the locks actuate while I'm driving, which is anoying. And the window passenger side will not go up, this was fixed once already.
Passenger side door: I can unlock the passenger door with the key fob and they will re-lock themselves within 2 seconds. Few days ago I went into pharmacy and left my 8 year old niece in the car to pick up few things. Came back out in about 5-7 minutes and she was crying her eyes out yelling and screaming. I asked her what happened as I entered through the driver side door. She couldn't speak for few minutes because of tears. She told me she couldn't open the door and she got scared. Entire family is honda and acura loyal customers. My family had enough honda problems with the 2011 honda accord brakes making squeaking noises after replacing brake pads 2 times. 2003 acura tl transmission problem. Replacing 2007 crv differential fluids numerous times and now a safety issue with the passenger side locks. I had enough. Good bye honda!
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!
Failure of the door lock actuator. The rear driver's-side door continually unlocks, even despite the automatic lock feature. With small children in the back, I am unable to ensure their safety with an unlocked door while driving, or even while parked. Also, our belongings are at risk of theft because that door is constantly unlocked, even when locked by hand. Despite our efforts, the door unlocks itself immediately after we lock it.
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.
Passenger door locks and unable to open in emergency.
My first incident the last week of august 2013 my keyless lock would not lock my car and would beep 3x when I went to lock it. It would still stay open. After a few times of opening and closing my door it was fine but still did it over a 2 day period then it stopped and was fine. Today is wednesday, september 4th and I pull in my driveway, turn off my car and the door unlocks as usual, then it locked itself immediately after that. I used my key to unlock it and opened my door quickly to get out. As I exited my car the door locked itself before I could even close my door and use the keyless remote. Even if I manually unlock my door it will lock itself immediately right after. I searched on the internet and found others are having the same problem with their 2007 honda crv. This is a safety issue and could result in death. Let me remind you it is september and very hot outside and hotter in the car. This could trap me or my passengers in my car and I am afraid.
This is complaint for the honda cr-v 2007 lx model. The passenger door would not lock, after locking the car. So every time I lock the car, the door lock would re-open.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The passenger rear right (r.rr) door lock actuator failed on 8/25/12 in the locked position then eventually would unlock with the remote fob but would immediately relock on its own. The passenger front (r.fr) door lock actuator failed on 12/10/12 with the same symptoms as the r.rr actuator. The passenger left rear (l.rr) actuator failed on 8/15/13 in the locked mode and would not unlock with the mechanical lever or remote fob. In order to get the door open I had to remove the door panel and dissemble the actuator still installed in the door.
Door locks normally with key fob or at designated speed of 8mph. However left rear and right front slowly unlock after about 3 seconds. Repeated key fob use is to no avail. Using the door lock switch or the actual door lock mechanism will still not allow door to remain locked. Highly unsafe as there is no way to keep door locked and prevent door from opening. Vehicle is now easily hijackable or can be broken into quickly.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while attempting to activate the air conditioning unit, the air conditioner blew hot air. The contact mentioned that the air conditioner would operate normally sporadically. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was unable to be replicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 100,000. Updated 10/17/13
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.
