On May 18, 2012, my passenger side door lock started malfunctioning. Every time I would start or stop, the door would lock then immediately unlock. It is unable to be locked using the key fob and is unable to be locked manually by pushing the lever inside the car. So basically the car is unlocked. It is a faulty/defective door lock actuator. Common problem in Honda. Other models and years have been recalled, but not the 2007 CR-V. I only have 19,700 miles on my 5 year old car!!! Honda needs to issue a recall. I have already have two other items fixed on this car at no cost because of tsbs being issued (rear differential and transmission module). I have contacted Honda corporate to request a goodwill consideration repair since it will cost approximately $265 to replace this defective/faulty part.
Front driver and trunk doors power locks stop working. It seemed to be very common issue for Honda Cr-vs 2007 and younger. I was told by dealership to replace two latches would cost me staggering $500. It definitely seem to be the design problem. I am not sure why Honda does not act to recall the part, forcing customers to pay for its shortcomings.
The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that whenever he accelerated from stops, the door locks would involuntarily lock and unlock. On a few occasions, the contact got locked inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the rear passenger side door lock was replaced. The failure and current mileages were 112,000.
2007 Honda CR-V automatic door locks failing. One after the other, three(3) now. Defective automatic door locks installed on this vehicle and I feel are a safety issue.

Rear driver door not locking. When all the doors are locked either using the remote or the master driver door lock button, the rear driver door returns to the unlocked state within one second of locking. It cannot be locked manually and does not remain locked if the button is manually held in place. I have read various complaints of the door locking system becoming faulty. Why won't Honda take ownership and do a recall! I am unfairly having to spend almost $250 to get the actuator replaced. Door locks should come with a lifetime warranty just like seat belts! this is causing a theft hazard as well as a safety hazard for my child riding in the back seat!
Is the federal government going to sit on their hands and wait for someone to die before they take action. These door locks are unsafe and very much defective
At approx; 75000 miles the right front door lock started making a very loud chattering noise when you used your key remote to unlock or to lock.when the vehicle reached 10 mph during excellerating and decellerating this would also happen. Now the driver side rear passenger door lock is doing the same thing.I'm afraid to let a child ride in the back seat or the front passenger seat.I was checking online for anything about this problem and came across a interesting web site that your dept; needs to look at.there are many other CR-V owners with this same complaint. Edmunds.com>SUVS>.Honda CR-V>Honda power door locks. This forum has some pretty consistent complaints about the Honda CR-V door locks and there relevent safety.
Vehicle began resetting door locks whenever vehicle accelerated through 7 or 8 mph from stop. After awhile, driver side front and back doors would not lock automatically and intermittently the driver door could not be manually locked (heavy resistance when trying to flip latch). On a less frequent basis, the passenger side rear door would not auto or manually lock. For last several months the door lock solenoids fire like a machine gun whenever the doors are manually or automatically locked. Some times they all lock, other times one or more of the doors won't. tolerated for many months as dealer wouldn't fix under warranty even though only 1000 miles and a few days past 12mo/36K coverage and didn't want to pay dealer estimated fix at up to 800 dollars. Now starting to pick up grandchildren for after school care and need to fix. Seems this problem has enough complaints to warrant recall?
The door lock actuators fail without warning. When trying to exit the vehicle the actuator is stuck in the locked position and could prevent emergency exit of the vehicle. It is very difficult for an adult to manually overide the lock and impossible for a child. One actuator failure causes multiple doors not to function correctly. The Honda dealer will not fix under warranty.
We have a problem with the door latch in our 2007 Honda CR-V on the back driver seat. It was fixed under the warranty. Couple months later we started having a problem with the front driver door. I was on the way back home with an 8 week old baby. When I parked the car and tried to open door I realized that the doors were completely closed- I couldn't open them at all. I tried several times with no result. The baby I was caring on the back of the seat and I couldn't get out of the car. After many tries, I used the front passenger door to get out of the car. The driver doors and the trunk were completely closed- jammed. I couldn't even open with the key. I was so scared as I'm using that car to go to the doctor or for shopping purposes. All the time my baby is with me and this is a very serious safety issue if you cannot open the driver door. I called my husband and we went to the closest Honda service- mcgrath Honda. They told us that they can fix it the next day for $500. They did. The next day car was fixed, but on my back way home I realized that front passenger door had the same problem. I came back to the service and they fix the door for free as it were the third door with the same issue. My main concern is what will happen if the car will be on fire" how I will escape with my baby if the doors are jammed? what will happen with my baby if the situation will repeat"
2007 Honda CR-V auto door locks faulty. Locks will not stay locked, even while driving. Hazard for children in back seat, possible theft issue as well.
I have a 2007 Honda CR-V. I have replace two door locks on this vehicle. A third door is having the same problem of not locking. The dealership is telling me I need to pay for the door repair and then I might get a refund depending on the district mangers consent. I feel this is unfair since there is obviously a defect with the locking system. This a safety issue and a hazard if some has small children.
2007 Honda automatic door locks malfunction. In December 2010 the driver side and the back door began to malfunction. Honda made me pay for it and they reimbursed 1/2 since I was past warranty. Now its April 2011 and here I am again the passenger side is locking then pops open again. It will not stay locked. I am at Honda and it is going to cost $238 to repair. This is a defect in the door looks. It is also a safety issue. I feel open to carjackers as I cannot lock my doors. I drive children around, and I have no capability of securing my car and the items in it. They are making me pay first and then they might refund to me part of the fees. I feel I should not pay for any of their defects. I can request the old part for this last correction. If you want me to send it to you. I was told that the dealer ship had been replacing the door locks.
2007 Honda CRV power locks are working intermittently having problems with driverside rear door and trunk latch. Also everytime I slow and speed up again the locks are trying to relock, current mileage is 51500. Called Honda was told it would cost $115./hr to find out whats wrong. Can not afford to spend 500-600 to fix. Electrical power locks should not go bad shame on Honda.
July 5,2010, parked our 2007 Honda CRV(VIN:[xxx] );the passenger door failed to unlock...would not unlock with the automatic button release...would not allow the passenger to physically release the lock nor allow the door handle to open the door...also would not allow the rear hatch to open...took to dealer and was identified as a latch failure in passenger door...dealer fixed for $200...my complaint is that the passenger was locked inside and could not exit but by crawling over console and out driver door...no car door should lock a passenger permanently inside...had this involved an accident, this could lead to tragic results...I believe this is a recall. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). The consumer stated the latch failed again. Updated IVOQ 02/24/11
The contact owns a 2007 Honda CRV. The contact stated that the driver side would not unlock from the inside or the outside of the vehicle. The contact had to enter/ exit the vehicle from the passenger side door. The vehicle was towed to a local body shop to have the locks repaired. The contact has not called the manufacture regarding this issue. The contact feels this is a safety issue because the contact was locked out of the vehicle in freezing cold weather. Failure mileage was 44,000.
