The passenger car door unlocks for no reason. It used to automatically lock when I start driving, now it starts to open and will not remain locked while driving, or when I lock my car door when I park. When I use the key fob the car alarm goes off and the door is still unlocked. This car has had a recall on the airbags. The light comes on once in a while. It was fixed by the Honda Dealership but recently, once in a while, the light still comes on. It is concerning. The air pressure warning light will remain on even after I have had my tires checked.
I am having door lock issues with all my locks on my car. It started with my front passenger and now both rear are also having issues. When I click the unlock button on the keyfob they unlock then lock again. Same with the unlock button on the drivers door. When I'm driving (accelerating), the drivers door will click as if it is trying to lock even though it already is.
Passenger Door Lock Actuators are not working properly on front passenger and rear doors. Doors may be unlocked from the outside or inside but will immediately lock again with 1-2 seconds. This is a major safety issue in the event of an emergency as one may be trapped in the car or not be able to get to a person in the car even once the doors are 'unlocked' they will only remain unlocked for 1-2 seconds. I do not feel safe nor do i feel safe having my wife or kids in the car as a result of this issue.
The back passenger door makes a grinding noise, which I believe could be due to a faulty actuator. this happens when the doors automatically lock after getting gup to about 15mph

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.
lock actuator failed, was repaired by Honda on 9/17/2021. Failed again on 1/7/23. Unable to unlock any door with assistance of local police, AAA. Could not get towed because vehicle could not be unlocked to put into neutral. Honda Customer service told me they could not help.
My rear passenger side door lock randomly unlocks while driving and it won't lock when I park the car. Our son is 3 years old who sits in a car seat in the back. Very dangerous.
I had my door lock actuators replaced from a previous recall and now they are acting up again. The front passenger door lock in unlocking and locking whenever I come to a stop and start driving again.
Drivers back door lock keeps locking the whole car or sometimes unlocks.I told the car dealership were I purchased car.They won't fix it because they said I bought as is. So I called the Honda Store in Boardman oh and they told me no recalls on my problem.
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.
