In december, my rear passenger side door would not unlock. I tried to manually unlock the door and the lock would not budge. My baby was in his rear-facing carseat on the rear passenger side of the car so I had to open the rear driver side door to get my baby out through that door. The problem has continued to escalate to the point that as of today (06/11/13), the rear passenger side door will no longer lock and the front passenger side door will only remain unlocked for a few seconds before moving itself back to the locked position. I have an appointment with my local honda dealer tomorrow to fix the problem at my expense. This is a safety issue and based upon the number of complaints I have found on the internet, honda should be forced to issue a recall. I have three children and I fear that if there is an accident and we need to evacuate the vehicle, the door locks may fail all together and we may not be able to safely exit the vehicle.
2007 Honda CR-V locks complaints
Page 7 of 9: complaints 161 to 190 of 232, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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!!!

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 .
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated that all doors would lock with the exception the front passenger's door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 40,000.
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 ##
The doors unlock themselves whether driving or parked. When I use my remote to lock my doors two of my doors automatically unlock themselves. When driving and auto locks engage, two of the doors automatically unlock themselves causing the car to continually lock and unlock itself.
It started with the rear passenger door lock unlocking and locking itself. Now the other door locks are doing the same thing. As I am driving they are always unlocking and locking. I am scared my son will lean on the door handle while driving and the door will open. The car only has 43317 miles on it.
Without warning, immediately after unlocking the door it would relock its self.
The vehicle locks and unlocks itself while driving and while parked. It doesn't happen all the time, it's random when it happens. After a quick search online, I found many people having the same lock issues or at least something similar.
Driver's side rear door lock moves itself into unlock position either immediately after locking, or within a few minutes of driving. The actuator will lock, but there is clearly a spring force that gradually unlocks the door during driving, or even when stationary in a parking lot. I first noticed the problem as the doors would continually try to lock in stop and go traffic. Eventually, I found which door, when I opened it from the outside when all others were locked. It doesn't matter if the child safety switch is engaged or not. The door will still unlock itself.
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.
Door locks began to lock and unlock by themselves repeatedly as I drove, unlocking @ around 9 MPH no matter how many times I relocked. If I relocked them they would open at an intersection stop (very unsafe also!), or just open & close while I was driving - all kinds of noisy door-locking & unlocking. I was unable to keep the rear door locked at all when I stopped the car, leaving it unlocked at night or if I left the care to go somewhere. I was on a trip with luggage, computer, GPS, etc. In the car and it was unlocked! When I got back home to rhode island and brought it to the dealership they found the lock actuators on the front & rear passenger doors needed to be replaced at a cost of $524. They stated they didn't know what happened but it was not cause by anything I did, which made me even more uncomfortable because then it might happen again! I felt I had to pay to have the service completed because I felt so unsafe with an unlocked auto, both on the road when driving and also overnight or when parked. I have just submitted this information, service invoice, and a copy of my proof of payment to honda in torrance, ca, only because I saw a similar complaint on wpri-tv in providence - which made me realize I was not at all alone with this issue.
The rear door lock fails to lock. The rear door lock will not lock when using the key fob. The door can be opened while the car is traveling. The door tries to lock after every stop once the car is going again but still will not lock. Significant safety problem as a child can open the door while it is moving.
All five door locks will lock immediately after you unlock them making it very difficult to get into or out of the car. The locks will also lock and unlock randomly while driving under 15mph.
The left rear door does not lock when using the fob or when in the car. All other doors lock, the back door tries to lock, and then automatically unlocks. When accelerating from a stopped position, the door will try to lock, but then unlocks. After seeing all of the posts related to this problem, I think honda should step up to resolve this.
Began having chronic issue with rear passenger door locks. Door cannot be manually locked and if I attempt to lock with key remote it immediately unlocks. I tried to see if keeping the child lock on would at least help keep it locked but it does not work. The car is constantly locking and unlocking every time I am in motion but immediately unlocks. This is very unsafe especially if transporting small children because the car does not stay locked at all. It is also unsafe to keep any belongings in the car overnight since the car cannot be locked under any circumstances.
Door locks continually re-lock after each acceleration past 9mph. And rear driver's side door lock actuator continually unlocks itself whether parked or in motion! Extremely dangerous for children!! The cr-v is now incapable of being locked while parked.
Front passenger door wont stay locked. Locks and then unlocks every time I slow down. Cant lock manually either so no security.
The right rear door lock reopens by itself after I lock the doors with the fob. The lock will not lock manually. Hence I cannot lock the vehicle. Several other people have complained of similar problems with this make and year vehicle - numerous complaints on the edmunds.com website. Apparently, a class action lawsuit was filed against honda in january 2013 regarding this and other door lock problems of this year crv vehicle. From internet research the price is about $300 to fix per door. I am unable to fully lock my car both when I am in it and when I am away from it. Hence we crv owners are now subject to any one getting in or waiting in our vehicles and causing harm to us. Also any one can take anything or put anything into my unlocked car. We are open to some one jumping in our unlocked vehicles when we stop at traffic lights - especially at night. Finally, the car door automatic door locking system seems to try to lock the mentioned malfunctioned rear right door every time I slow below 10 MPH and then speed up. I hear the clicking sound when the door is trying to be locked. The attempts are unsuccessful, the door does not lock thanks
Upon starting the car the front passenger door locks and unlocks randomly.
I have been having issues with the door lock actuator for the last 2 years, I have had them replaced, and now they are being replaced again. I can not lock them on the inside, and leaves my car open to anyone. I don't feel it is a safe. The dealership knows it is an issue yet they charge an arm & a leg to fix them. Ridiculous!!!
Passenger rear door lock not working. Honda dealership said the door lock actuator is broken and needs to be repaired. This seems to be a common occurence. They charged me $280 for repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the front passenger side door would not lock. The failure occurred on the front driver and rear passenger side door as well. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated the door actuator would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000. *tr updated 7/10/13 *cn according to the repair invoice. The passenger side door locks would unlock on its own.
2007 honda crv problems with door locks. The driver's door lock automatically unlocks while the vehicle is moving and can't be relocked. At first it was the passenger door lock, got that fixed @ honda and cost about $300 back in oct 2010 @ 38500 od mi. Now, the driver's door lock has the same problem! Using remote keyless or driver's master door lock button, all doors lock except for the driver's door. It constantly makes grinding sounds and lock clicking on but does not lock!!.. Tried to lock manually, but key does not work, afraid to force it and have it break in the lock. Safety issue and as well as property damage (unable to secure property). I hear this has been an ongoing issue with hondas crv and other models, dating back quite a few years and makes sense if honda contracting the same vendors! Quality control issue? The recent recall for 2012 hondas and acuras for defective door locks!! If using same vendor - same problem - and why only 2012 if older cars have had the same problems? Recall should be for older cars as well! ***the other problem is the powertrain @ 66000 od mi. - recently noticed that at speeds of 10 - 15 MPH ( after every stop) car sluggish as if about to lose power (dangerous safety issue) recall issues!
After unlocking the door the door then locks itself. This happens both when you unlock manually or unlock using the fob. Very dangerous as it locks you in the car and will not unlock.

The drivers side door will lock automatically and will sometimes not unlock.
