The rear driver's side door remains unlocked unless physically locked. Locking with the fob or with buttons in the front of the vehicle does not work. This is dangerous for children as child lock does not function. A child could open the door intentionally or unintentionally and create a serious hazard for themselves as aell as other drivers. It is also dangerous as it allows criminals entry into the vehicle if the driver is not aware that this lock isn't functioning or merely forgets.

CR-V

The contact's client owns a 2011 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his client was driving at undisclosed speeds, the driver-€™s side door lock actuator mechanism would independently lock and unlock on all four doors without warning. The contact's client could hear the doors locking and unlocking while driving. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic where he determined that the door lock actuator was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact called Millennium Honda (286 N Franklin St, Hempstead, NY 11550) and North Shore Honda (611 Glen Cove Rd, Glen Head, NY 11545) where the contact was informed by both dealers that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 139,000.

I have a CRV that I purchased new in 2011. During the warranty period and several years after that I had all the maintenance work done at the dealership. Recently I had two doors that I cannot open with the remote or key, the passenger side rear door and the hatch back door. Honda wants to charge me over $800 to solve the problem. What if all doors lock up and I cannot get into my car; will I have to pay over $3000 to get into my car" even if had extended insurance with 3rd parties, this is not covered, I checked. Isn't this on Honda"

CR-V

  • 46,000 miles
Within the last month, my 2011 CRV has had a recurring issue with the door lock. When I hit the unlock button, the driver's door remains locked and will only turn manually. Likewise, it will only lock manually. The other day I couldn't open my trunk because of the locking issue. Because of the unlocking, the sensors affected my dome light and my battery died after 3 years. I have read that this is a common problem, but no recalls yet. It doesn't make sense.
