Both passenger side door locks are malfunctioning. They make a very loud noise when attempting to lock/unlock. More importantly, they will only stay unlocked for a brief moment before moving back to the locked position. Manually maneuvering the lock is next to impossible, which creates a big safety hazard of the vehicle potentially locking passengers inside with no means of opening the doors.

Have replaced two door lock actuators in last 3 months. Starts with failing door lock not locking with rest. Next door locks engage and disengaged while driving as I slowed down/speed up in traffic this was on both freeway and city streets. The drivers door lock was replaced under recall back a few years. The first lock fail was back passenger side big concern for child safety, most recent door lock fail was front passenger. I suspect that I will be replacing the third lock actuator at a cost of $340.00 out of pocket soon.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the front and rear driver's side door locks would not lock. The dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure.

The door locks started making a loud racket driving and stopping - when you were driving over 10 MPH locks are supposed to lock automatically and then when you stop and park unlock automatically. Apparently there was an extended warranty that covered front driver actuator and right and left rear door locks. This extension warranty expired november 2015. Howdy honda dealership here in austin texas was able to have front driver side door actuator replaced under warranty. The back driver and passenger doors will not lock. The new actuator was going off continuous in attempt to lock the back doors. I took back to howdy honda, they said they would reprogram my key to stop it from trying to continuously lock the back doors as it was apparent that the new actuator would wear out rapidly from doing this.. If I am driving and stop at a light or crossing, anyone can just open the back door and hop inside my car and car jack me. Also, with these doors not locking I cannot set the alarm. This affects my insurance, as I have car insurance stating I have an alarm system - well if my car is vandalized or stolen it will come back to my problem as I did not set the alarm - I cannot set the alarm the back doors do not ever lock. I explained the insurance problem if vandalized or stolen; I explained the safety issue of being car jacked or someone opening the back door at a stop and grabbing one of my kids from the back seat or getting into the car. The cost quoted is $552.00 to repair back door locks - this is all connected to the front driver door actuator that has been replaced, but has now been disabled by howdy honda as it was going off and on continuously trying to lock back doors and that would wear out the new actuator just installed 10/26/2016 under warranty.

Passenger front door lock actuator (the federal safety agency reference: #10057463) - I was never notified by honda of this class-action settlement - my mechanic informed me on 8-30-16 of this settlement during a routine oil change - after contacting honda america at 800‑999‑1009 -ext [xxx], I was informed the settlement for the passenger front door actuator was amended and terminated as of november 2015 - my passenger front door actuator has been non-working since the 1st quarter of 2015 - honda has politely refused any corrective action - twice I have been informed that a manager will call to review my request; no calls have been received - I have received recall notices from honda (I.e. March 2016 regarding the airbags) so I am definitely in their computer system - had I been made aware of the passenger front door actuator settlement I would have immediately contacted the local honda dealer for a prompt and full repair free of charge questions: a) does honda america bear any burden of having to document they did send written notification of this settlement in a timely manner? B) why was a termination date agreed to of nov. 2015? If a part is defective, as it clearly is in my situation, it will remain defective even after nov. 2015? C) what recourse do I have that the federal safety agency can assist me with? Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Received a recall notice from american honda about 2007 cr-v honda drivers door lock may not lock or cycle when trying to unlock the door. Took the vehicle in to spring branch honda in houston, tx for the recall repair; now the left rear door cycles lock/unlock when stopping and starting everytime you stop/start, but will not lock when vehicle is turned-off nor after exiting the vehicle. The left door will not lock at all when vehicle is in motion nor after exiting the vehicle. Even though my eight year old is wearing a seatbelt I'm still afraid he may open the door accidentally and fall out of a moving vehicle.
Back door will not lock. It seems thats the latch is not holding even when lock. With little force I can open the door when it suppose to be lock. Door will also become unlock by the bump force of speed bumbs. The car has low miliegae and never been in a crash. I feel that the locking components should last much longer than 83k miles. It seems that other consumers have the same problem but honda is doing nothing about it. Someone get this going and put a recall in order.

The door locks cycle from unlocked to lock and then the right rear door does not lock at all anymore. Cannot secure the vehicle due to power locking system malfunctions while driving and when stationary does not stay locked.
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.
I own 2007 crv ex-l . I'm experiencing a peculiar problem in my crv sometimes the door gets locked automatically or when we try to open it through remote keys, door gets locks immediately with in a second. One time my kid was inside and accidentally I closed the door and it got locked. I was really scared but luckily after few tries, it got opened. I don't want to think about it, if this happens in a crucial time when we want to open the door and all are inside the car.when I said this to my friend who owns 2008 crv, he said that he is also having the same problem and he referred another friend who has the same problem. So I think we need to investigate this issue to avoid any terrible situation in future. If needed I can share two of my friends information right now. When I searched internet, I found lot of people has the same problem particularly with 2007 to 2011 all honda models.
The driver side power locks are locking all doors automatically and immediately after I unlock it via the key fob or the unlock/lock switch inside the vehicle. It can not be unlocked manually because it is very resistant to moving. I have been told this is an actuator failure and is common in 2007 honda crv.
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.
Rear door locking mechanism failure due to defect the door will not remain locked, this is a child safety issue as the child lock has failed as well. The door can not be locked, this seems to be a common issue on this model.
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!
Left rear door lock was repeatedly engaging/disengaging for several months prior, then unable to lock door at all. Repair garage replaced lock actuator and cable for charge of $253.57. Currently the right front door lock intermittently fails to remain in locked position both while parked and in motion. Current mileage is 90552.
Rear driver door comes unlocked when driving or when parked. Will not stay locked.
Rear right door locks itself approximately 1/2 second after unlocking, whether via electric switch or by manually pushing the unlock lever. I consider this a safety issue, as egress is only possible by a precisely-timed, two-step process: unlock the door and rapidly actuate the door handle. The component does not fail-safe; it fails into an unsafe mode.
My 2007 honda cr-v, passenger door locks itself immediately after unlock by the main lock/unlock switch, key fob or the manual tab in the door. We have to be very precise in unlocking and pulling the door at the same time. Even a second delay could bring the boor back in to unlock position. This can be very dangerous in case of fire or accident as the passenger can not unlock and escape from the vehicle. Please look in to it. Thanks
The doors will not stay lock while moving; time of parking the driver door will not stay locked.
The doorlocks are having a number of problems. The doors began unlocking themselves shortly after locking them. The front passenger door won't stay locked, the right rear door is frozen in the locked position and the door is unusable, the driver rear door stays in the unlocked position, and the rear hatch won't unlock; therefore, it won't open. At this point, two of my doors won't open and the locks continuously try locking over and over as I drive under approximately 10mph. As I search the internet I see multiple people with the same problems, but my fear is my family getting trapped in this car if the locks seize and won't allow passengers to egress the vehicle. I hope it doesn't take an unfortunate event for someone to step up and take notice that there is a problem.
The automatic door locks - right passengers side lock unlocks. Will not re-lock.
