In our 2007 CRV the passenger front and rear door locks lock automatically right after using the fob or power lock control. I have to stand right at the door handle to grab it the moment I click the unlock button to be able to open the door. Our safety is jeopardized by the lock malfunction because if I don’t have the key in hand I cannot open the passenger side doors and if you have kids this is a big concern. This happens every time we use the vehicle which is daily. We have not taken it to a dealership at this time. This specific problem has not been inspected. This problem just began several months ago and has occurred everyday since.

BOTH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THEY MAKE A VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LOCK/UNLOCK. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY WILL ONLY STAY UNLOCKED FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BEFORE MOVING BACK TO THE LOCKED POSITION. MANUALLY MANEUVERING THE LOCK IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE, WHICH CREATES A BIG SAFETY HAZARD OF THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY LOCKING PASSENGERS INSIDE WITH NO MEANS OF OPENING THE DOORS. *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED MAKING A LOUD RACKET DRIVING AND STOPPING - WHEN YOU WERE DRIVING OVER 10 MPH LOCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN WHEN YOU STOP AND PARK UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED FRONT DRIVER ACTUATOR AND RIGHT AND LEFT REAR DOOR LOCKS. THIS EXTENSION WARRANTY EXPIRED NOVEMBER 2015. HOWDY HONDA DEALERSHIP HERE IN AUSTIN TEXAS WAS ABLE TO HAVE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE BACK DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THE NEW ACTUATOR WAS GOING OFF CONTINUOUS IN ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE BACK DOORS. I TOOK BACK TO HOWDY HONDA, THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPROGRAM MY KEY TO STOP IT FROM TRYING TO CONTINUOUSLY LOCK THE BACK DOORS AS IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE NEW ACTUATOR WOULD WEAR OUT RAPIDLY FROM DOING THIS.. IF I AM DRIVING AND STOP AT A LIGHT OR CROSSING, ANYONE CAN JUST OPEN THE BACK DOOR AND HOP INSIDE MY CAR AND CAR JACK ME. ALSO, WITH THESE DOORS NOT LOCKING I CANNOT SET THE ALARM. THIS AFFECTS MY INSURANCE, AS I HAVE CAR INSURANCE STATING I HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM - WELL IF MY CAR IS VANDALIZED OR STOLEN IT WILL COME BACK TO MY PROBLEM AS I DID NOT SET THE ALARM - I CANNOT SET THE ALARM THE BACK DOORS DO NOT EVER LOCK. I EXPLAINED THE INSURANCE PROBLEM IF VANDALIZED OR STOLEN; I EXPLAINED THE SAFETY ISSUE OF BEING CAR JACKED OR SOMEONE OPENING THE BACK DOOR AT A STOP AND GRABBING ONE OF MY KIDS FROM THE BACK SEAT OR GETTING INTO THE CAR. THE COST QUOTED IS $552.00 TO REPAIR BACK DOOR LOCKS - THIS IS ALL CONNECTED TO THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR ACTUATOR THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT HAS NOW BEEN DISABLED BY HOWDY HONDA AS IT WAS GOING OFF AND ON CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO LOCK BACK DOORS AND THAT WOULD WEAR OUT THE NEW ACTUATOR JUST INSTALLED 10/26/2016 UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE FOUR ISSUES. FIRST, MY POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS LEAKING AND WILL CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS. I SEE ON MANY SITES WHERE THIS ISSUE IS VERY PREVALENT IN 2007 CR-V'S. SECOND, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. ONLY THE BACK INSIDE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE DOORS OPEN; THE FRONT DRIVERS INSIDE LIGHT ONLY COMES ON WHEN PUSHED; THE FRONT PASSENGERS INSIDE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THIRD, THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK IT MANUALLY OR REMOTELY. IT LOCKS AND POPS RIGHT BACK OPEN. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE LOCKS ON 2007 CR-V'S. FOURTH, THE TPMS LIGHT STAYS ON.
