What owners say
The door locks keep locking and unlocking at low speed or when I come to a stop
My CRV's door lock has been broken on and off for years now. I assumed it was a problem with the battery in the key or the key itself. I really became a problem a few months ago when the door would not open even with the key inserted into the lock. I would have to use the automatic lock and unlock buttons several times and then insert and turn the key before it would open. I did not know if or when the lock would fail permanently and I would be locked out of my car. This is a safety issue because I could have been stranded outside alone, or worse, stranded on the road with my infant. I understand that Honda settled a class action lawsuit for this known problem. (Kevin Davitt, et al. v. America Honda Motor Co., Inc., et al., Case No. XXX, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.) I never received notice that there was a recall for this door actuator problem or that I was eligible to be a part of the class action. I contacted Honda and they insisted that I get a diagnostic though their dealership. They said I might be eligible for some sort of "good will" refund. I paid for the diagnostic and the repair, which was over $400. The service center at the dealer even said it was a known problem and that I should get something. Honda called me to deny the claim because they said I was out of warranty. They knew I was out of warranty when I contacted them in the first place. I would have gone to a local repair shop if I had known that they were using this as a ruse to get repair costs from me. The problem is that they knew that people were getting locked out of their cars and they didn't tell anyone. They knew that I was potentially part of the class of people who could have gotten relief but they didn't contact me. I don't think that they should leave people stranded out on the road or struggling with their door locks in this day and age when people get robbed or attacked a shopping centers and gas stations.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while driving at various speeds, she heard an abnormal sound located in the front passenger’s and rear driver’s side doors. The contact stated that while operating the remote lock/unlock feature for the doors, the trunk unlocked. The contact stated that she had to manually unlock/lock the front passenger’s and rear driver’s side doors. The contact was concerned for her safety in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the contact stated that the day she purchased the vehicle, she informed the dealer that the door locks were not functioning properly. The dealer inspected the door locks but could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000. The contact stated that the trunk as well as locks will not open while using the key and that while driving daily the locks continue to make noises off and on through out the entire time of driving, which is a distraction. She has to manually and forcefully unlock and lock the front passenger driver side door as well as the back left passenger side door to get in and out of the vehicle and if not for manually unlocking either door the trunk will not open at all.
Drivers side door will not unlock or open.
Car stalled, began to smoke while traveling at a low rate of speed on residential street. Found it had no oil. No warning light indicated oil was low. Bought it used two weeks earlier and seller said oil had been recently changed. Passenger-side door locks began locking and unlocking randomly while in motion. No inspection. The A/C compressor stopped working mid-summer. Mechanic inspected, repaired. No longer in possession of this vehicle.
Back rear hatch and back passenger door lock will not unlock
The passenger side door lock is not unlocking. I need to click the locking (inside the car) and hold it unlock. When I put on park, the door will not unlock. When I use my key to unlock the doors, the passenger side lock does not unlock. I have no option to leave the passenger side door locked and unable to used that door. It is a big safety issue. This issues need to be fixed by the manufacturer.
One month ago, car locks would randomly lock and unlock while driving. Now the Driver side front door lock actuator stopped working. I cannot open door manually from the inside or unlock the door with the key from the outside. Now I can only exit the car by the passenger door and leave the car unlocked otherwise I can't get in if it's locked.
The passenger side door lock is not locking. I need to click the locking (inside the car) multiple times to lock. When I put on park, the door unlocks. When I use my key to lock the doors, the passenger side lock does not lock. I have no option to leave the passenger side door locked when I am outside the car. It is a big safety issue. This issues need to be fixed by the manufacturer.
Door lock and trunk lock actuator have both failed. The FOB does not unlock door or trunk. You also cannot unlock either from inside the vehicle.
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.
