Even when you lock it (or it locks automatically above 10 mph), the front two door locks will automatically open, when driving or even after parking the car. Based upon other posts, this seems to be a chronic problem with the door lock actuator, and should be the subject of a recall. ## VIN failed ##

For some time now the doors open and then immediately lock again when using remote keyless entry. But now occasionally the panic button goes off and the car honks and flashes and the vehicle is inoperable. This results in a safety hazard as the latest incident occurred with children in the vehicle with high temperatures and we were all essentially stranded until the car settled down. It is easy to imagine a much more serious scenario where the children are locked in the car and the car cannot be opened because the locks are inoperable and the car will not respond to deactivating the panic button.

The doors unlock themselves whether driving or parked. When I use my remote to lock my doors two of my doors automatically unlock themselves. When driving and auto locks engage, two of the doors automatically unlock themselves causing the car to continually lock and unlock itself.

It started with the rear passenger door lock unlocking and locking itself. Now the other door locks are doing the same thing. As I am driving they are always unlocking and locking. I am scared my son will lean on the door handle while driving and the door will open. The car only has 43317 miles on it.

While driving at approximately 25mph or while stopped, or while parked the door locks will lock and unlock on their own. My wife and I watched the door unlock while parked with the ignition turned off. This issue presents serious safety and security concerns.

The rear door lock fails to lock. The rear door lock will not lock when using the key fob. The door can be opened while the car is traveling. The door tries to lock after every stop once the car is going again but still will not lock. Significant safety problem as a child can open the door while it is moving.

All five door locks will lock immediately after you unlock them making it very difficult to get into or out of the car. The locks will also lock and unlock randomly while driving under 15mph.

The left rear door does not lock when using the fob or when in the car. All other doors lock, the back door tries to lock, and then automatically unlocks. When accelerating from a stopped position, the door will try to lock, but then unlocks. After seeing all of the posts related to this problem, I think Honda should step up to resolve this.

Began having chronic issue with rear passenger door locks. Door cannot be manually locked and if I attempt to lock with key remote it immediately unlocks. I tried to see if keeping the child lock on would at least help keep it locked but it does not work. The car is constantly locking and unlocking every time I am in motion but immediately unlocks. This is very unsafe especially if transporting small children because the car does not stay locked at all. It is also unsafe to keep any belongings in the car overnight since the car cannot be locked under any circumstances.

The right rear door lock reopens by itself after I lock the doors with the fob. The lock will not lock manually. Hence I cannot lock the vehicle. Several other people have complained of similar problems with this make and year vehicle - numerous complaints on the edmunds.com website. Apparently, a class action lawsuit was filed against Honda in January 2013 regarding this and other door lock problems of this year CRV vehicle. From internet research the price is about $300 to fix per door. I am unable to fully lock my car both when I am in it and when I am away from it. Hence we CRV owners are now subject to any one getting in or waiting in our vehicles and causing harm to us. Also any one can take anything or put anything into my unlocked car. We are open to some one jumping in our unlocked vehicles when we stop at traffic lights - especially at night. Finally, the car door automatic door locking system seems to try to lock the mentioned malfunctioned rear right door every time I slow below 10 mph and then speed up. I hear the clicking sound when the door is trying to be locked. The attempts are unsuccessful, the door does not lock thanks

I have been having issues with the door lock actuator for the last 2 years, I have had them replaced, and now they are being replaced again. I can not lock them on the inside, and leaves my car open to anyone. I don't feel it is a safe. The dealership knows it is an issue yet they charge an arm & a leg to fix them. Ridiculous!!!

Passenger rear door lock not working. Honda dealership said the door lock actuator is broken and needs to be repaired. This seems to be a common occurence. They charged me $280 for repair.

2007 Honda CRV problems with door locks. The driver's door lock automatically unlocks while the vehicle is moving and can't be relocked. At first it was the passenger door lock, got that fixed @ Honda and cost about $300 back in Oct 2010 @ 38500 od mi. Now, the driver's door lock has the same problem! using remote keyless or driver's master door lock button, all doors lock except for the driver's door. It constantly makes grinding sounds and lock clicking on but does not lock!!.. tried to lock manually, but key does not work, afraid to force it and have it break in the lock. Safety issue and as well as property damage (unable to secure property). I hear this has been an ongoing issue with Honda CRV and other models, dating back quite a few years and makes sense if Honda contracting the same vendors! quality control issue" the recent recall for 2012 Honda and Acura for defective door locks!! if using same vendor - same problem - and why only 2012 if older cars have had the same problems" recall should be for older cars as well! ** other problem is the powertrain @ 66000 od mi. - recently noticed that at speeds of 10 - 15 mph ( after every stop) car sluggish as if about to lose power (dangerous safety issue) recall issues!

After unlocking the door the door then locks itself. This happens both when you unlock manually or unlock using the fob. Very dangerous as it locks you in the car and will not unlock.
