IN DECEMBER, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THE LOCK WOULD NOT BUDGE. MY BABY WAS IN HIS REAR-FACING CARSEAT ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SO I HAD TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO GET MY BABY OUT THROUGH THAT DOOR. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO ESCALATE TO THE POINT THAT AS OF TODAY (06/11/13), THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LOCK AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL ONLY REMAIN UNLOCKED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE MOVING ITSELF BACK TO THE LOCKED POSITION. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TOMORROW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET, HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND I FEAR THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND WE NEED TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR LOCKS MAY FAIL ALL TOGETHER AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED UNLOCKING ON AND OFF WITH EVERY ACCELERATION INCREASE OF 10-15 MPH (MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR OCCUPANTS). IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY OR BY MANUAL PUSH. WORSE, THE DOOR LOCK PROBLEM LED TO MY CAR BEING VULNERABLE TO UNLAWFUL ENTRY, AND SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR WAS RANSACKED (ITEMS STOLEN) THIS WEEK AFTER I THOUGHT ALL MY "DEPENDABLE HONDA" DOORS WERE LOCKED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I AM DISGUSTED TO SEE THAT MANY HONDA CR-V (2007 MODEL) DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING EXACT OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS (UN)LOCKING. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. VERY UNHAPPY!!! *TR

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK. I TRIED THE REMOTE, THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON ON THE DOOR, AND EVEN MANUALLY LOCKING. NOTHING WORKED. THEN, YESTERDAY, THE OPPOSITE BEGAN. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. AGAIN, TRYING ALL MEANS OF LOCKING AND NOTHING KEEPS IT LOCKED. IT WILL INITIALLY LOCK, BUT SLOWLY UNLOCKS. AS I'M DRIVING, IT WILL TRY TO LOCK AGAIN AT 9 MPH, BUT DOESN'T HOLD. SO, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I GET TO HEAR MY DOOR LOCKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL ISSUE. MY DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION. *TR

EVEN WHEN YOU LOCK IT (OR IT LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ABOVE 10 MPH), THE FRONT TWO DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN, WHEN DRIVING OR EVEN AFTER PARKING THE CAR.
