Door lock cannot be opened for the passenger to be able to get out of the car in an emergency. The passenger in a hot car had to crawl out the driver's door. Also, the rear door could not be opened to get out emergency equipment. This was an emergency for my passenger. The drivers door and the two back seat door did work. Doors that you can not unlock from the inside is an emergency!.

Two items of concern to report: Door locks - back passenger side door will no longer lock and once the car is in motion, the doors will automatically lock and unlock for several minutes. When in park, the back door remains unlocked even after the doors have been secured. - major security / safety issue - children in the back of the car renders child locks useless. Car will not start / shuts off in motion: I have had 4 total instances (2) of each in the past month. When pulling into a parking space at slow speed, the instrument panel flashes and the car dies. The car will not turn over when trying to turn on. Finally started once car was put into neutral - computer completely resets - have to enter radio code. Second instance - driving at 60 mph on highway, instrument panel flashes and car dies - then comes back on while driving. Major issue!!

Approximately 5 weeks ago I was driving locally with my wife and 6 year old son in the car when without warning the brakes suddenly engaged causing the car to come to a sudden stop. The vsa warning light also came on. I pressed on the accelerator but car would not move. After pressing and pulling the brake pedal for several minutes I was able to get the brakes to release. Today I received a frantic call from my wife because as she was driving the car the brakes suddenly locked up while she was driving and caused the car to come to a sudden stop in the middle of the road. After this frightening experience she is understandably afraid to drive this car anymore. I did some research online and read other Honda CRV owners who have experienced the same problem. Honda has recognized this problem in their Pilot model and has recalled over 183,000 vehicles but has yet to recognize the same issue with the CRV model. The potential for a vehicle to brake unexpectedly causing the vehicle to come to a complete stop obviously poses a significant safety risk. Honda needs to recognize this defect is not limited to their Pilot model, but to all models which they manufacture that share the same or similar components as the Pilot model including their CRV and other models.

The problem is with passenger door switch not locking. My alarm went off in my 2007honda CRV eight times in one day. So L took it to the dealership and they told me a needed a actuator. I just had a recall on the driver door. I told to repair would $270. Why should L pay for this. I think Honda should give a me a discount for the repairs. I love my Honda, but it getting to expensive to maintain. There needs to be a recall on all four doors and the lift gate. When L purchased this car it was wonderful. Now L'm having second thoughts.

The vehicle had all the lights on the dash illuminated. It lost its ABS and vehicle stability control. It did not cause any damage to us since the road was not that crowded. After that we always had to keep a safe distance. Got inspected at Honda showroom and they found that the vehicle stability modulator was not working and it would cost $2000 to have it fixed.

2007 Honda CR-V, started with rear passenger door lock not unlocking. Within one week all door locks were not unlocking. Now the driver's door will lock and unlock while driving. I have about 1 second to pull the handle once I press unlock (on remote or within the vehicle) to open the door or it locks itself again. After vehicle it shut off 2 doors will not lock and vehicle is left unlocked. This is a huge safety issue with my children in the car! Honda needs to address, recall and fix this problem immediately.

The hatch wouldn't open. Noticed the back left door was stuck locked while other doors opened when unlocked w/key remote and manually from front drivers side door. So I manually opened the lock on the back left door which enabled the hatch to open. From then, the back left door wouldn't lock. Noticed this while driving--my son opened door several times, luckily we weren't on the freeway and he was in a child seat. Otherwise he would've flew out. The door sounded like it locked as it always did but didn't realized the back door wasn't locked.

I purchased a 2007 Honda CRV in Sept 2011 and recently the car failed and began to lose power randomly. A few days ago the engine light came on and the vsa light as well. When you hit 20 mph 40 mph etc the vehicle stalls and jerks. I attempted to fix the problem looking at the owners manual but I couldn't find or do anything on my own to fix it. I took it to the Honda dealer in orlando where I purchased it from and they want to charge me just to check it. I feel this is a safety issue. I've also noticed many postings about this malfunction on different web sites. It sounds to me as a recall and a manufactures responsibility.
