Driver side door won't unlock. First time I tried to unlock all doors wouldn't unlock and I was trapped inside my car. Not electrical as windows proceeded to roll down/up. Dealership wants to and I quote "break door to see what problem is". I think not. Key fob doesn't unlock any door but key fob will lock all doors. Have to manually unlock at driver side door and then go enter passenger side door to enter vehicle. Safety hazard for sure.

My complaint is the same as the one that owners of any 2007-2009 honda cr-v had to put up with: door lock actuator failure. Driver's side rear door failed to unlock. Will only unlock manually, is not responsive whatsoever to the key fob, or the lock/unlock button inside of the vehicle. The tailgate also will not unlock by any means, which poses a serious safety hazard to the vehicle. I am asking for an extension of the door lock actuator recall from 2007-2009. Who is to say that once I replace this costly part for $350, that I will not have to then replace any of the existing 3? There are multiple reports online of 2010 cr-v owners having the same issue and the recall should be extended to encompass the 2010 cr-v vehicles.

Driver side door actuator is malfunctioning. Unable to lock door with key fob, have to manually lock it. Class action lawsuit was for the 2007 and 2008 model, however the company is still using the defect part in newer models. Waiting for the other door to malfunction and if it persist it might cause a fire in the door. Big safety concern, guess the government will wait until someone dies before recalling this problem. This is a known problems for the crvs, look at the class action lawsuit.

Driver-side power door lock in my 2010 honda cr-v ex-l periodically stops responding to both the interior lock button and the remote key fob button. This could potentially create a dangerous situation where the driver unintentionally opens the door while the vehicle is in motion by pulling the lever from the inside, while under the assumption that the door has been locked. Note that in honda models, pulling the interior release lever while the door is locked should prevent the door from being opened altogether. This problem could mislead the driver into thinking that all doors have been locked while, in fact, they have not; this also creates a security issue because the door can be opened from the outside as well. Another related problem is the potential for the driver to unintentionally leave the vehicle with an unlocked door, even after pressing the lock button on the remote key fob, which increases the probability of theft and break-ins. A quick internet search reveals many user complaints about power door lock problems in this generation of cr-v, showing a clear pattern of problems with the 2007 - 2011 cr-v. Honda should address this immediately by issuing a recall and warranty extension.
