CR-V

  • 198,300 miles
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.

Automatic locks constantly lock and unlock under speeds of 25mph (while vehicle is in motion). Passenger side lock (front door) will not unlock (when stationary and in park). Seems to be an issue with the lock actuator.

Honda refuses to replace recalled door lock actuators. Driver's side door lock and passenger rear locks will not stay open, sealing occupants in the car unless the key fob is repeatedly actuated. Honda says recall has expired. Honda replaced one actuator with another that also failed and will not replace it.

We were driving and stopped the car outside a restaurant. When I tried to open the car door it would not unlock using the door handle. It finally opened when the key fob was pressed several times. When we returned from the restaurant and got inside the car, the door would not lock. We tried the key fob and the door control on the drivers side panel. As we started to drive, the passenger side door lock started locking and unlocking and would not stop. Every couple of seconds the lock clicked open, clicked locked but the indicator that turns red when the door is unlocked would not fully engage. The indicator was only partially red. It was stuck in the middle and would not lock. The passenger door lock clicked on- and - off every couple of seconds when we were driving. We can't lock our car door when in motion and can't lock the car doors when stopped or parked. It is not safe.

Two items of concern to report: Door locks - back passenger side door will no longer lock and once the car is in motion, the doors will automatically lock and unlock for several minutes. When in park, the back door remains unlocked even after the doors have been secured. - major security / safety issue - children in the back of the car renders child locks useless. Car will not start / shuts off in motion: I have had 4 total instances (2) of each in the past month. When pulling into a parking space at slow speed, the instrument panel flashes and the car dies. The car will not turn over when trying to turn on. Finally started once car was put into neutral - computer completely resets - have to enter radio code. Second instance - driving at 60 mph on highway, instrument panel flashes and car dies - then comes back on while driving. Major issue!!

Defaulting locking door system. Doors keep on locking while driving or/and not locking all doors while parked. I have already replaced latch assembly once this year and now broken again. This locking while driving has been an ongoing problem for years. It's very bothersome not to be able to have all doors locked while parked.

The right rear passenger door locking mechanism unlocks itself after locking with driver's master control or key control. This allows the door to be unsecured when vehicle is moving causing safety issue. Honda sees this as warranty issue not safety issue.

CR-V

  • 160,000 miles
Front passenger door lock will not stay unlocked after being activated from the driver's side or passenger side. This poses a safety problem should the front passenger need to exit the vehicle in an emergency situation. The rear driver's side door lock will not stay locked, after manually "locking" the vehicle and especially after the vehicles automatic locking system is activated. This poses a safety issue should a child, or a passenger if any age can open the door while the vehicle is in motion. This is a safety feature and door locks should be covered by Honda with no expiration.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Honda CR-V. the contact was not experiencing a failure until the vehicle was taken to the dealer (kelly Honda, 40 lynnway, lynn, MA 01905, (781) 595-5252) two years ago for a manufacturer recall to service the door lock actuator. The contact stated that there was an intermittent failure, which caused the contact to be locked inside the vehicle. In addition, the doors failed to lock and unlock. The contact also took the vehicle to the dealer for NHTSA campaign numbers: 17V030000 (air bags) and 16V061000 (air bags), but was uncertain as to when the parts would be supplied to the dealer to receive the repairs within a reasonable time frame. The contact was also uncertain about the door lock actuator failure and reported the failure to the manufacturer. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.

Door locks:: 2014 class action lawsuit resulted in six month extension to November 2015 for Honda 2007 CRV repair this should be a recall as the lock has a design flaw that results in the doors not being able to be unlocked from the inside. If you unlock the doors, it automatically re-locks. The only way to get out is for an adult to put their thumb on the manual door latch and try to block the latch from locking while you try to open the door. The passenger locks on my affected vehicle had very little usage while driver door had high usage. Driver door was not affected so this is not a "wear" issue. Also, lock should default to unlocked if fails. Not locked as you can't get of the car. Honda issued service bulletin 14-083 and 084 which identifies the problem. This needs to be an involuntary untimed recall as this is a known safety issue. A secondary issue is local dealer did not follow the settlement agreement. Settlement agreement says driver door lock to be replaced whether working or not. Ocean Honda, santa cruz ca. Did not do that when I brought in due to Honda notification. Honda revised its service bulletin to include passenger door locks..ocean Honda did not inform me. They had car in for air bag recalls and service every 3 months. Trying to get them to accept responsibility now as warranty has expired; but this is a safety issue not a warranty issue.
