Whenever I unlock the doors, the front passenger and rear passenger doors do not stay unlocked for more than a second. I am worried that if something happened (such as the car catching on fire), my passengers would be unable to get out of the car. I bought this car used with this problem; the owner before me also had this issue. To my knowledge, there was no prior warning to this problem occurring. Lock issues are a common occurrence with the model from 2007-2011 CRVs.

Hello, My vehicle's door motors or actuators are not working, specifically the driver side back door and the rear baggage door. This happened as we were trying to get into the vehicle while it was raining heavily on the side of the road due to an emergency toilet brake. This of course was frustrating as we were trying to get into the car and put stuff in the car, and put us in harms way of upcoming traffic because some of us could not get in. This problem has been rampant by Honda Motor company and they had a recall regarding this issue. There were no warning lights for this. We just heard a loud buzz when we tried to open the doors.

Door actuators have failed on both the passenger front and right rear. They lock almost immediately after unlocking. There is a high risk the passengers may not be able to exit in an emergency and rescue could be delayed. I have owned this car since bought new in September 2006. This problem began in 2020 during the pandemic so I have not gone to a dealer. I recently found information about recall 12V338000 in 2015 but I was never notified of that recall (since expired). I have since moved to a new address and the vehicle remains registered to me at my new address. Online research tells me this is a known problem and owners are charged $300-800 for repairs - often more than once!

1) the car fails to start occasionally. I already had repair shop changed to new battery and alternator. 2) the driver's front door handle (outside) sticks and do not go back, after it's been pulled. This causes the car's doors locks to lock and unlock during driving, stops and gos.

My Honda CRV 2007 steering wheel and ignition locked on me. When I tried to start my car the key went into the ignition but it didn't turn. The steering wheel were locked. I had to tow my car to the Honda dealer. On Monday morning, I contacted the Honda dealer and was told that the problem was the ignition lock assembly. Honda kept my vertical for 2 days. They had to order a part to replace the ignition. When I asked has this happened to any other Honda CRV, Mr. Dylan frizzell said 1 other Honda CRV that he knew of at this time. I should not be obligated T0 pay $742. My Honda CRV 2007 had the airbags and doors recalled causing me potential death. Please give me a written response. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

2007 CRV purchased new. 198,000. Car has been failing to furn over intermittently for a couple of months on first try. All lights on dashboard light up, but only a low wurring noise. Turn key back, wait a second or two and it starts right up. Today, when I started the car the check engine light was on. After driving for about 3 - 4 miles, both the vsa light and the trangle light came on and the car started bucking and driving very roughly. Conituned until I could safely pull over. Turned car off and then back on. The vsa nad triangle lights went off and the car returned to driving normally for the remainder of my commute (~8 miles). Parked car for 10 hours. When starting again, the exact same scenario occured except the vsa and triangle lights came on after about 2/10's of a mile. Pulled over and shut the car off and only the check engine light remained on and driving returned to normal. Upon arriving home, I started to research these issues and stumbled upon some posts regarding possible recalls and/or technical service bulletin's regarding faulty ignition switches and a correlation between the starting issues, the dashlights and the bucking and rough driving I had encountered.

All car locks make a loud noise when unlocking/locking. Only driver side door will stay unlocked when you unlock. Others will typically lock in 1-2 seconds making it a pain to allow someone into the vehicle. Driver side lock switch was replaced under warranty at 9,197 miles. Problem resurfaced 3 or 4 years ago, but we;ve just been tolerating it since we didn't want to spend the money on 8 year old car with 150K miles. No we learn there was a class action lawsuit, but we were never notified? should have been repaired under class action lawsuit. I disabled the auto door lock/unlock when going over 10 miles/hour and when placed in park to reduce the nuisance noise.
