HONDA CRV 2007 ISSUE: DOORS WHEN LOCKED BY EITHER REMOTE OR VIA CAR WOULD LOCK ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVERS. HONDA DID COVER IT THE FIRST TIME THEN A YEAR LATER THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WAS IN THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO THE FRONT CENTER DOOR LIGHT (RIGHT SIDE) FAILS TO TURN ON WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS, IT WILL HOWEVER TURN ON WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON. EVEN GOT A NEW BULB BUT ISSUE REMAINED.

THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ON THIS CAR AND HONDA HAS NOT EVEN NOTIFIED ME OF EVEN ONE OF THOSE AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT THE POWER STEERING PUMP THEY DIDN'T MENTION THE RECALL BUT STATED IT WOULD COST $600. TSB NUMBER & ISSUE DATE TSB TITLE 11-050 OCT 11 RECALL - ECM/TCM UPDATES TO PREVENT A/T DAMAGE TSB TITLE 08-070 SEP 08 CAMPAIGN - POWER STEERING PUMP SEIZURE. *TR

BOTH OF THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SOME TIMES WHEN YOU TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR THE DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, IN OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE CAR THE DOORS STAY UNLOCKED. THIS IS CAUSING THE ALARM TO ARM ITSELF AND WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR THE ALARM GOES OFF, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS WITH THE CONTROL REMOTE. SOME TIMES THE ALARM GETS ARMED WHILE WE ARE IN THE CAR AND IT WON?T START DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ACTUATORS. IN VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE DOORS REMAINED LOCKED WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAR. THE UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, EVEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE LOCK MANUALLY WONT WORK. THE ACTUATORS STAY LOCKED!!! I?M PRETTY SURE THE BACK DOORS WILL START FAILING TOO ANY TIME SOON. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO THIS PROBLEM RIGHT A WAY, OR MAYBE THEY WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE DIES TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR POOR PARTS QUALITY. *TR

FRONT DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER APPROX. 9 MONTHS ALL DOORS STARTED LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. ALL DOORS WOULD LOCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF, LOCKING ALL OCCUPANTS INSIDE. WOULD LOCK WHEN CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK AND WAS UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS MANUALLY WITH KEY FROM OUTSIDE. CAR WAS STOLEN THEN RECOVERED. WHATEVER WAS USED TO STEAL IT MUST HAVE RESET COMPUTER. BECAUSE FOR APPROX.1 WEEK AFTER RECOVERY DOOR LOCKS WORKED FINE. NOW IT IS BACK TO THE PROBLEM AS BEFORE. MY 1 YR. OLD GRANDSON WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR FOR A BRIEF TIME DUE TO THIS ISSUE, LUCKILY ONE OF THE REAR WINDOWS WAS DOWN AND MY DAUGHTER CRAWLED THRU. I HAVE READ THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006 HONDA CRV, BUT NOT FOR THE 2007. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT LEFT OVER DEFECTIVE PARTS FROM 2006 MODELS WERE USED IN 2007. I AM TOLD I COULD HAVE TO PAY UP TO $900.00 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I NOT ONLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY, BUT I DON'T ACCEPT THAT IT SHOULD BE MY PROBLEM. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR MISUSE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA I'VE OWNED, AND MY LAST UNLESS SOMEONE WOULD AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ON NEWER VEHICLES. I UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICS BEHIND THE SAFETY FEATURE OF HAVING THE HEAD RESTRAINTS TILTED CLOSE TO THE DRIVERS HEAD. HOWEVER, IF YOU DRIVE WITH YOUR HEAD ALREADY CLOSE TO A HEAD RESTRAINT THAT IS NOT TILTED (AS FOUND IN THE OLDER VEHICLES 2004 AND OLDER), YOU WILL STILL GET THE SAME SAFETY AND THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND IT DOESN'T CAUSE PAIN. YOU NEED TO REVIEW AND AMEND YOUR REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE, BECAUSE CURRENTLY, THE TILTED HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE CAUSING MORE HARM (AND PAIN) THAN SAFETY TO US DRIVERS WHO DRIVE UPRIGHT. *TR
