The rear driver's side door remains unlocked unless physically locked. Locking with the fob or with buttons in the front of the vehicle does not work. This is dangerous for children as child lock does not function. A child could open the door intentionally or unintentionally and create a serious hazard for themselves as aell as other drivers. It is also dangerous as it allows criminals entry into the vehicle if the driver is not aware that this lock isn't functioning or merely forgets.

I have a crv that I purchased new in 2011. During the warranty period and several years after that I had all the maintenance work done at the dealership. Recently I had two doors that I cannot open with the remote or key, the passenger side rear door and the hatch back door. Honda wants to charge me over $800 to solve the problem. What if all doors lock up and I cannot get into my car; will I have to pay over $3000 to get into my car? Even if had extended insurance with 3rd parties, this is not covered, I checked. Isn't this on honda?

Within the last month, my 2011 crv has had a recurring issue with the door lock. When I hit the unlock button, the driver's door remains locked and will only turn manually. Likewise, it will only lock manually. The other day I couldn't open my trunk because of the locking issue. Because of the unlocking, the sensors affected my dome light and my battery died after 3 years. I have read that this is a common problem, but no recalls yet. It doesn't make sense.
