About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The rear driver's door will unlock when the car is fully braked (at lights, stops, etc) and when the car starts again (approx 5mph) the doors will lock again. At 10-12 mph, they will unlock and remain unlocked for the entirety of the drive (until stopped again). The child protection setting is on. When the car is stopped and the engine is turned off, the doors will not lock with the keyfob. The door remains unlocked while the rest of the car is locked. This is not only a safety issue, but an issue of personal protection and is a non-deterrent towards theft.
Doors keep trying to lock every time car reaches 8mph or whatever the standard is. The doors remained lock but they keep trying to lock again. Reset to lock when car goes out of park. Now one door unlocks itself. I lock all doors and then check the rear left door and it is unlocked. I then have to manual lock it. I've already replaced the actuator on the driver side front door twice.
The ac clutch does not engage and is apparently a known issue on models between 2002-2008 due to no heat shielding and placement. The result is failure of clutch due to excessive engine heat. Repair costs are more than $2000. Only certain VIN#'s qualify for a recall and this should be one. Customers should not be penalized for poor design.
I have had to replace 4 out of 5 of the door locks. The first door lock to stick was the front lock on the passengers side door. It stuck tight and would not open with the remote or manually. The lock was stuck shut and we were unable to open the door. If we had gotten in an accident and needed to get out quickly, my passenger would not have been able to open the door to exit the vehicle. Which makes it a very dangerous situation. One by one, all three locks either locked up or started making the noise proceeding the lock up issue. I took it to Honda and explained the problem, but since my warranty had expired, they refused to pay for the expensive repair. I felt like the issue was so dangerous, as I have 2 daughters who ride in the car daily, that I paid to have them fixed. Now the front driverside door and back door is making the same noise again and the process is beginning again. I am at the point where I may have to trade the car in for a new car to escape this problem! I will not buy another Honda!
The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that there were sightings of mouse droppings in her vehicle, which was kept in a farm shed. The following day, she caught a mouse with a mouse trap. There had been no failure or physical damage to date. The current and failure mileages were 10,000.
