The power door locks are malfunctioning. When unlocking the car to either enter or exit the vehicle, the car locks again automatically in less than a second. This occurs when using the remote to unlock the car as well as when unlocking the car from any door both outside and inside manually. In addition to this malfunction being a major inconvenience with nearly having locked myself out of the car numerous times (particularly at the gas pump and in store parking lots), it most certainly is a safety issue as well. It makes it difficult both entering and exiting the vehicle at any given time, let alone in the event of an emergency, especially with kids in tow.

Driver side lock and trunk lock initially about a month ago would not lock manually or remotely. Then two days ago, the car would not unlock at all. Had to have the car unlocked by a company. Now only the passenger and two rear doors work. I have to crawl in from the passenger side to get in the car.

The locks on my car's doors automatically re-lock within a second of trying to unlock them. When the engine is running, and I am in park, I cannot manually unlock the doors at all. I am very nervous that I may end up getting locked in my car without the ability to exit; this could be especially hazardous in an accident or another emergency.

Power door lock would open and close randomly while driving, from a stopped position to approx 20mph. Recently when using key fob to lock car the doors would randomly unlock(took several times of locking and unlocking( to get the doors to stay locked. This past week the door lock actuator started making a terrible grinding sound when locking/unlocking doors. Now door power door locking system has failed entirely and I have to use the key to open the doors.

On my 2007 CRV the doors, if not already locked, lock automatically when the car reaches about 10 to 20 mph. In mid August 2012 I began to hear the clicking of the door locking each time I started after being stopped at a light or having slowed down. I realized that the passenger rear door was not locking. I brought it to be fixed and was told it was the actuator. The cost to repair was $230. Two months later, it happened again with another door-this time, the passenger front door. And then in December it happened again with the driver side rear door. I did not get the last two fixed right away due to the cost (with 2 it would be around $500 which I did not have at the time) but it became a significant problem because I could not lock my car. This is a saftey issue too, I did not feel comfortable riding in my car in certain neighborhoods and I was concerned about possible theft of my car or items in my car since there was no way to lock the doors. I have had the two actuators replaced and have contacted Honda but they say there is no recall for my VIN # and with the milage and age of my car....however, there have been several other models with door lock issues. Honda knows that the door locks are/have been an issue. I believe it is a safety concern that Honda should address. No one should have to wait until they can afford to fix these locks in order to get them fixed!

It started by lock the passenger side automatic and you can not enter or open the door after a while it is making a horrible noise when I try to unlock or locked the doors.

The front passenger door lock automatically unlocks while the vehicle is moving and can't be relocked. Also, the other door locks click for no reason.

Problem started with driver-side rear locks. Would not always lock, constantly tried to relock itself while driving, and made rattling sound. Problem has spread to all doors. Driver side door will not lock at all. Passenger-side rear lock will not unlock. Hatch will not open. Other doors relock themselves immediately so you have less than one second to open door. Using the key itself makes no difference.

Car security system automatically lock doors after a few seconds of unlocking. Can not unlock car with keys have to use fob. Right side passenger door wont lock proppally.

- Bristow, VA, USA

Passenger side door automatic lock malfunction. At times would not open/ at times would not lock. When I use the master control (on the drivers side door) or the key fob, the passenger side lock continually clicks. Also the locks continue to click open and locked as I drive (especially when I speed up from a stop.) I have heard that many other people have the same type of problems.

The mechanics of the door locks have become progressively worse beginning first with the front passenger door and then spreading to the right side rear passenger door, driver door, and rear hatch. All of the doors randomly lock and unlock and make a loud rattling sound while doing so. The right side rear door no longer unlocks from the outside. The rear hatch only opens 5% of the time we attempt to open it (which is a nightmare when it is full of luggage or groceries). The doors will not unlock manually with a key... only the fob key. I have seen numerous complaints online addressing this problem and am shocked that it has not been addressed by Honda. It is a major safety hazard.

The driver and passenger doors keep unlocking all the time, and can't lock my car doors and it is very unsafe.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda CRV. The contact stated that the front passenger and driver side door actuators failed. As a result, the contact was unable to enter the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was advised that the failure was common with the 2007 and 2008 model years. The failure and the current mileages were 57,000. Updated 11/16/12 the consumer stated 11/5/2012 the rear door is now showing signs of potential failure. Updated 11/20/2012

Front doors started locking automatically. After approx. 9 months all doors started locking automatically. All doors would lock immediately after engine was turned off, locking all occupants inside. Would lock when car was idling in park and was unable to open doors manually with key from outside. Car was stolen then recovered. Whatever was used to steal it must have reset computer. Because for approx.1 week after recovery door locks worked fine. Now it is back to the problem as before. My 1 yr. Old grandson was locked in the car for a brief time due to this issue, luckily one of the rear windows was down and my daughter crawled thru. I have read there is a recall for this problem on 2006 Honda CRV, but not for the 2007. It is possible that left over defective parts from 2006 models were used in 2007. I am told I could have to pay up to $900 to repair this problem. I not only don't have the money, but I don't accept that it should be my problem. It's not like it's from wear and tear or misuse of the vehicle. This is my third Honda I've owned, and my last unless someone would at least acknowledge there is a problem here. Thank you

When driving the vehicle, the automatic power door locks are supposed to engage when the car reaches approximately 10 mph, while driving my vehicle, this does happen but after the door locks engage, both rear doors on my vehicle unlock for no apparent reason. This appears to me to be a safety issue as I have 3 small grandchildren and I am afraid to allow them to ride in the back seat of my vehicle for fear that they may open the doors while the vehicle is moving and even though this vehicle is equipped with "childproof door locks", I will not totally rely on this as the only method to securing the doors. I have spoken to Honda on a couple of occasions in this matter, but they seem to attribute it to a wear and tear or electrical issue and even though they agreed with me that this was a potential safety issue, they did not seem to take my concerns seriously.I have also discovered that the 2006 Honda CR-V was recalled for the exact same problem and as early as a few months ago the 2012 Honda CR-V along with some Acura models are being recalled for these defective power door lock mechanisms.I replaced the front door mechanism in 2009 only to have both rear door mechanisms fail at the same time a short time later. I find it hard to attribute the failure of two individual parts to fail at the same time to a case of wear and tear or an electrical issue. I feel that these parts are failing due to an inferior design and I would like for this matter to be investigated. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that the front passenger door could only be unlocked with the master control on the driver's side or with the key fob but it would lock itself if the door was not opened immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnosis and the latch assembly was replaced. The failure and current mileages were 56,000.
