ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

a defective made, brand new honda 2007 model cr-v had a defective oil seal from the factory. it was sold by honda of serramonte at 485 serramonte blvd., colma city, ca, 94014, (650) 758-4800 at 16 miles. luckily, we did not go too far away--otherwise, the car would have stalled on the freeway when oil had been drained, would leading to an fatal accident! we had it for only 2 hours, from 6 to 8 pm. on nov. 16, 2006, from the dealership to dinner. after dinner, we found a trail of oil was coming into the garage and under the car all way to the engine. the next morning, nov. 17, 2006, the car was returned to dealer with a reading of 51 miles. they cashed out our money, $22,000 and gave us a broken car. at the dealership, we were not able to reach the manager. after 45 minutes sad, angry and helplessly waiting in the dealership. we had contacted the main honda customer office. from 10 am to 1:30 pm, we were very frustrated. (1) that cr-v was made defectively. (2) if oil was leaking all out. it is a life or death matter on the road! (3) originally, operation of 2007 cr-v had caused some damage. some parts had to be replaced. (4) it may be defective in some other parts. we were afraid to take that defective car on the road. (5) it's not a new car any more. the leaking will affected and damaged some other parts. a lot of parts were taken apart to make repairs. their inspections had failed before. (6) the inspector had failed to find the problem. [it was made defective in factory.] (7) the customer service was poor. on 11/17/2006, we were let waiting till after almost an hour had passed, and the honda main office was contacted. (8) they were unwilling to satisfy our request [they refused to replaced it with another one]. neither honda and dealership, they do not want to take care of us. (9) also they want to make profit by taking it back for less than we had pay for. *jb

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:AIR CONDITIONER

i purchased a 2007 honda crv with 2 miles on it three weeks ago, the other day my a/c stopped blowing cold i called the dealer and took it in. i was informed it was the a/c condenser and had to be replaced, this was not covered by the warranty ,and the cost would be $800 . according to them a rock or some road debris damaged i. i could not believe this, it was my first brand new car and could afford car payments and car repairs. after making a few calls to the general sales manager they agreed to fix it, only because the dealership deposited my check early and it bounced. i have checked online, and this has happened to many many honda customers so i called 1-800-999-1009 and spoke to honda customer service and was told there was no recall, and itwas not covered by the warranty. her and the service echnician at tampa hondaland both told me that i needed to buy or have made some kind of cover m to protect the a/c condenser so that it hopefully won't happen again....what? this was something that should be done by honda or they should warranty this if it happened to consumers. thanks for taking the time to listen to me.*ak

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

we purchased a honda cr-v 2007 at ourisman honda in bethesda, maryland, on december 28th, 2006. one of the main reasons we bought this car is the mpg advertised by honda america, which is 22/mpg in the city and 28/mpg on the highway (perfectly visible on the big sticker on the side window of the car). unfortunately, the car is not performing within these numbers, that is the reason why we contacted you already and got this case number. now, after driving the car for almost four months and over 2,500 miles the actual mpg is still much lower than advertised. the overall mpg is around 17/mpg (which is not even close to the 25/mpg advertised by honda, in fact it is around 45% less then advertised), the actual mpg for the highway is little over 22 mpg (again not even close to the mpg advertised which is 28 mpg, in fact it is 30% lower) and the actual mpg in the city is around 15 mpg (again not even close to the 22 mpg advertised, in fact it is 40% lower then advertised). this is a clear case of false advertising from honda. we went to ourisman honda and they did some checks, which all came back negative. they drove the car once on the highway to get the mileage for the highway, which was little over 22 mpg. we don't dispute the fact that the mileage on the highway is better then in the city, but unfortunately we do live in the city and this is our main place for driving our car. but as you can see by looking at the numbers, the car is underperforming in mpgs through all the levels of driving (city, highway and overall). the dealer also mentioned the 5000 miles ?break-in period, after which we should be able to see the real mpg. to begin with, nobody mentioned that before we bought the car. second, it is not mentioned in the official honda brochures, which came with the car. if we would have known about this break in period, we would have never bought the car in the first place. again, honda is hiding some important facts.

i bought a honda crv 2007. the second row of seats has a small division that can lean forward. if a child puts his arm between one of the other two seats and the small section and another person returns it to it's vertical position the child's arm can be injured. that can happen if a toddler is seating on his carseat in one of the side seats. *jb

SUSPENSION

safety hazard- 2007 honda crv unstable when being driven on grooved highway. vehicle oscillates severely diagonally from front to rear and vice versa, when this road condition is experienced. oversteering to correct this problem could result in erratic lane change or shift. same road condition does not impact other vehicles that we drive on the same stretch of road. calls and visits to the dealer (south bay honda, los gatos, ca.) have resulted in a response of "it's just the car" and nothing has been done. i feel it is a problem with honda2007 crv's suspension system / tires when this type of road is encountered. i feel that potential buyers and operators should be made aware of this condition, and that corrective action by the manufacturer is required.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

to begin, i recently purchased directly from manly honda, in marin county, ca, earlier this jan/feb of 2007 a brand-new 2007 honda cr-v exl, $28k. a first-time car buyer, i had paid in full using my hard-earned money what i believed to be a reliable, dependable and trouble-free car. alas, i began noticing some irregularities with the car soon thereafter. to name but a few, they are as follows: 1) a tapping sound in the back of my car; 2) a wet spot noted on the floor of my garage under the hood area; 3) intermittent inability to start the car whereby the battery light would come on; and 4) inability to accelerate, but sudden surge thereafter when driving. i brought my vehicle in to be serviced on monday, august 13, 2007. later that afternoon i received a call from sf honda, the service dealer, to advise that: 1) the tapping sound in the back of my car is due to a welding defect. having jacked up the car and removed all the back panels to the vehicle, they had determined that the defective weld or welds were located further within the vehicle and my car would need to be sent to an auto body shop to be further stripped apart to determine the number of defective welds in question. 2) a powder test performed on my engine had determined that it was a transmission leak and the entire transmission would need to be replaced. 3) they had yet to determine why my car would fail to start and the battery light appear; and 4) the sudden surging of my vehicle once i had stepped on the accelerator was due to the defective leak in the transmission. upon hearing this, i was flabbergasted. who would have thought that a brand-new car, a honda which is noted for its reliability, would encounter such problems? and at 3,158 miles? and simultaneously? what does this say about honda's quality assurance and manufacturing standards?

(1) events leading up to the failure - none, car was driven under normal driving conditions on paved roads and highways (2) failure and its consequences - according to a dealer, debris (perhaps a rock or pebble) flew past the grill and punctured the ac condenser, causing a leak. consequently, the air conditioner no longer blows cold and will cost approximately $800 to repair. (3) what was done to correct the failure - no action has heretofore been taken.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE

purchased a new honda crv from bob barbour honda in greenville nc. in july. after 2,300 miles the rear parking brake was destroyed. honda refused to fix it under warranty claiming that it was towed with the brake on. it was not, as i checked the brake light and foot pedal when i left. after replacing all the brake pads, rotor and bearings it was still not working right and they determined the cable was bad. when i asked them if that was the cause or effect, they said they were not sure. there was no way to tell. to me this was exculpate, and my dealer was willing to pay for the repair, but one person at north american honda would not change her mind. the appeal process is a joke. i made sure they gave me all the parts back. i was lucky my car did not catch fire.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

we purchased a new honda crv 2007 for my daughter in college in october 2006 from ed voyles honda, marietta, ga. in april of 2007 my daughter had trouble starting the car after it had been driven and left parked for a hour or more. she had to crank the engine for 10-20 minutes before the car would start. we documented the problem in e-mail to the dealership and took the car in on more than three occasions. they were unable to replicate the problem. during july 2007 we left the car at the dealership for three weeks for them to try and re-create the problem, they were unable to do so. the dealership consulted with the honda tech-line and they could still not recreate the problem. during the past seven months we have had this problem occurring more than 15 times to different drivers of the vehicle. on sunday 10-14-2007 in frustration i gave my car to my daughter to take back to college since the honda crv was proving to be too unreliable. on the day i drove the crv and sure enough after having parked the car for 3 hours it took me 24 minutes of cranking to start the car. once the car started i drove for two miles and then it just cut-out. this left me stranded in the middle of a busy intersection for 3 terrifying minutes of cranking the engine before it started again. we have now returned the car to the dealership and we have a rental from the dealership. the honda crv 2007 has proved to be very unreliable and as a parent i am concerned for the safety of my daughter driving this car. we have lost confidence in the vehicle and think that honda usa should now remedy the situation. in our estimation this car is a "lemon" and we are now considering our legal options under the georgia lemon law. by all rights honda usa should replace this vehicle with a new one. *jb

my wife was driving her new crv with our newborn infant on the highway at 8pm. without any warning the car died and the dashboard went black. she was in the middle lane and almost got rear-ended by a semi trying to get to the right shoulder. she tried starting it and it caught after a few tries. what kind of crap vehicle is honda putting out? this is our first honda and it will be the last. we called brewster honda and they were very accommodating but they said they couldn?t find anything wrong. there is no way my wife and baby will get in that death mobile again. of course honda usa has never heard of this happening. i guess they need a lawsuit and some news stations to get their attention. it has also been in service for running very rough every few weeks but they didn't find anything with that either. it was bought in april 2007 and has 8500 miles.

i was involved in a minor collision and the amount of damage to the total damage to my 2007 honda cr-v was well over $8,000. i was rear ended by someone and pushed into the car in front of me. there was no damage at all to the car i was pushed into and only minor damage to the car that rear-ended me. the rear end damage to my car was over $3,000 and the front end damage to my car was over $5,000. this was a very low speed collision on a local street and even the collision shop manager was stunned at the amount of damage to the car, especially the front end. the compressor of the air conditioner was damaged beyond repair by this minor collision and had to be replaced. my auto insurance had to pay for this. the collision shop manager said he'd never seen anything quite like that - he asked me if this was a high speed collision (it was not), then asked me if the car i was pushed into had a trailer hitch sticking out (it had nothing sticking out). i now am reading numerous consumer complaints by people about the air conditioner compressor in this car in which the dealer stated that the compressor was damaged by a "pebble" from the road. based on these complaints and my own experience, i can only conclude that there is a serious defect in the manufacture of the 2007 honda cr-v's air conditioner compressor, causing the consumers to have to endure huge costs to replace this compressor because of such minor things as pebbles striking the part and low speed minor fender benders!!!

during the last three cold weather spells (temperatures below 32f) the windshield washer nozzle is freezing up and will not work. as a result the salt spray covers the windshield and significantly impairs visibility. i took the cr-v to the honda dealership service department and was informed that there are a number of people with the same complaint. per the service representative, not only are the nozzles freezing, but also the washer hoses leading to the nozzles under the hood are frozen as well. he indicated that there was nothing that i could do to prevent this from happening. i believe that this is a design flaw since i have had other honda vehicles that did not have the same problem. in fact, none of the other cars that i have previously owned had this problem. when i questioned about a recall, i was informed that there was none for this particular problem. yesterday, i was nearly involved in a major car pile-up due to the impaired visibility during an ice storm. i am greatly concerned about the hazards that this problem presents. i would like for the honda company to initiate a recall to fix this possible manufacturing defect before a fatality occurs.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

there is a widespread problem on several japanese branded cars when driving at dusk. many newer vehicles (honda crv-civic, lexus rx-ls, nissan versa) with led or electro-fluorescent instrument clusters are lit anytime the vehicle is in operation. these vehicles may not be set to operate on auto on lamps. this leads to the assumption by the driver that the headlamps and tail lamps are on when really that may not be the case. after noticing this happen on a lot of honda/toyota/nissan cars of in traffic, i wondered why they have not recalled such vehicles yet. would there be the possibility to make a requirement for these automakers to place a warning light to warn them in these situations? it seems that american and european makes don?t have this issue. the problem also affects vehicles of japanese nameplates that have daytime running lamps. this low intensity beam also gives the driver the sense that the lamps are on, when they are at a low level, and the rear tail lamps are actually off. i have seen a large number of vehicles, with drls after dusk when is it not clear to the driver that there is a problem. after renting an 08 nissan versa, i too had this problem occur on several occasions when the lit cluster indicated to me that my lights were on, but in reality, i was driving around with my lights off, and i realized this 10 minutes after the fact. and i was only able to tell from the inside of the vehicle by toggling the switch on/off, because there is no feedback from the instrument cluster when these lamps are on or off. this is a problem that should be looked into and i hope recalls can be effectively proposed to prevent injuries or deaths from happening, as i do feel that this is a large safety issue that the japanese automakers have overlooked. thank you for your attention and seriousness of this matter. please comment on this issue, and help me track it so that it does reach the correct hands.

on 2007 and newer honda crvs,, the side view mirrors are not convex as the are on most vehicle. this design defect results in a very large blind area, especially on the driver's side, that is still causing numerous problems after 2 years of driving due to inability to see cars driving anywhere close to the car. i have discussed this significant blind spot with several other cr-v owners and all have felt this is a serious problem.

2007 honda crv turned out to be very bad on snow and/or ice covered roads. rear end feels like it wants to kick out to the right. took it to be serviced and was told the rear differential fluid needed to be drained and the clutches burnished. drove better after that, 6 weeks later car making noise like a bearing was going out. was told that my rear tires were cupped due to not having rotated them. car had 20,000 miles on it. since tires were already ruined, i waited to take it in again till 30,000 miles. now the front tires were bald in the center and rear tires still cupped. they drained the rear differential fluid again and again burnished the clutches as well as performed the 30k suggested maintenance. 4k miles later, while driving on bad roads, the rear end once again feels like it wants to slide off the road to the right. feels like it needs a couple hundred pounds of extra weight in the rear. oh, forgot to mention, have had the tires replaced and today had it aligned. i have had 2 other honda's (accords). very pleased, but absolutely can't stand this car. i don't feel safe driving it.

VISIBILITY

there is a design flaw in our 2007 honda cr-v. in winter precipitation conditions, the front windshield wiper freezes. it is impossible to clear it without getting out of the car and clearing it manually. the problem is that the wiper rests below the windshield and there is no heating element to thaw a frozen wiper at all. this occurs every time there is precipitation below freezing temperature. this causes significantly reduced visibility.

VISIBILITY

this is the third winter with our 2007 honda cr-v and there is a huge design flaw affecting the proper functioning of the windshield wipers during precipitation in cold weather. the snow and ice builds up in the large well beneath the wiper blades,causing the wiper blades to get stuck on this snow and ice, as well as the frozen precipitation sticking to the wiper blades. we have to constantly stop, get out of the car and break up the ice and snow from the well and the wiper blades in order for them to function correctly and safely. it's outrageous that a car that can be purchased with 4wd, clearly meant to be driven in snowy areas, would have this severe design flaw! honda really needs to address this flaw with a design solution to this problem that can be installed on this car!

PARKING BRAKE

i bought a 2007 honda crv and was almost run over by it today. it appears there might be a defect with the car. i had pulled into my driveway and put the car in park. i left it on so that my 2 year old daughter would have air conditioning while i was unloading the car and putting things in the garage (this process took approx. 5 minutes). i then went to the back seat on the passenger side and got my daughter out of her car seat. i then shut the back door and opened the passenger door to get something out of the passenger seat and grab the car keys which were in the ignition. i took the keys out of the ignition and the car started rolling back wards dragging me with it...as i was stuck behind the passenger side door. i was holding the keys in my hand and scrambling to make sure the car was in park...it was and the car kept rolling. it eventually stopped after it jumped up on the curb, backed into several trees and hit a street sign. my question is how does this happen when the car is in park? i was holding the keys in my hand as the car was rolling backwards and i doubled check to make sure it was in park as i was getting dragged with the car. although my leg is now badly bruised and my bumper is messed up; all in all i consider myself to be very lucky. had my daughter started walking behind the car vs. walking towards the garage she would have been killed. i'm now terrified of my car.. i also believe that honda corporate should be notified of this issue to ensure it doesn't happen with someone else and result in a far worse outcome.

TIRES

both the left side oem tires on my honda crv 2007 model blew up on me while changing lanes. i did not hit anything and have been rotating them as recommended by honda (all the servicing on the vehicle were done at the honda dealership where i bough the car). luckily, i was on a local road at 40 mph so i could keep my car under control. i have looked at the forums and have found that many other 2007 crv customers are complaining about the abnormal wear on their oem (in my case continental) tires. i took the car to a honda dealer who recommended that i should change all four tires- which cost me close to $1000. my car only had 29000 miles on it. honda apparently blames the tire manufacturer and wants its customers to complain directly to the tire maker. this is absurd since thee are many components in the car that honda did not make on its own. does it expect the customer to locate the maker of each component to complain when things go wrong? this is honda's problem and it should compensate its existing customers and take corrective steps for the new cars. there is the danger of people losing control of their cars if such an incident happens on a highway.

i am a loyal honda owner on my third honda, a 2007 crv. the crv came with oem tires, bridgestone dueler h/t to be specific. when i bought the car i told the dealer i did not want such poorly rated tires but was told there was no option to upgrade to better tires. i put up with these bad tires for 3 years with no problems until my luck ran out this year when my area received several snow storms. my first near-miss happened in december of 2009 i got stuck on a very minor patch of snow and my car narrowly avoided sliding backwards into a creek just behind me that was about 10' deep. i should have replaced the tires right then but failed to make the connection to the bad tires and blamed it on the road conditions. the second near-miss came this week when we got a major snowstorm and my brother's house lost power and heat. the day after the storm i tried to drive to my brother's house and rescue him and his family. i got just out of my driveway onto the snow covered street and right away got stuck. i was only able to move my car back into the driveway by throwing dirt under all the tires to get traction. i pulled back into the driveway and was afraid to try again for 2 days until the snow softened up a bit. keep in mind that my crv is all wheel drive and the tires had less than 25,000 miles on them and were not worn out. in both cases the all wheel drive was useless and in both cases lives were at risk. i paid extra to get the all wheel drive version for just such occasions and i feel let down, to say the least. today being the first time i could get to a main road (barely) i headed to the nearest tire shop to replace the horrible bridgestone h/t's with bridgestone alenza's, their highest rated tire for my vehicle. i am now able to drive in the same snow with no problem at all. why is honda allowed to put such poor tires on their cars, and why is bridgestone allowed to sell such poor tires?

2007 honda automatic door locks malfunction. in december 2010 the driver side and the back door began to malfunction. honda made me pay for it and they reimbursed 1/2 since i was past warranty. now its april 2011 and here i am again the passenger side is locking then pops open again. it will not stay locked. i am at honda and it is going to cost $238.00 to repair. this is a defect in the door looks. it is also a safety issue. i feel open to carjackers as i cannot lock my doors. i drive children around, and i have no capability of securing my car and the items in it. they are making me pay first and then they might refund to me part of the fees. i feel i should not pay for any of their defects. i can request the old part for this last correction. if you want me to send it to you. i was told that the dealer ship had been replacing the door locks.

before we actually knew what was happening we noticed a burning rubber smell right after we got my honda cr-v. thought maybe this the way it smells when we travel mountains. we live in a very mountainous area. found out after 83000 that there are numerous problems with premature failure of ac compressor. so then it happens the a c stopped working without any warning. the temp outside was over 107 degrees. i took the car the nearest garage, no honda dealers could look at my car for at least 1 week. so the garage i took it too sd that they noticed blue on the metal of the compressor housing and around the pulley. no wear or tearing on the belt though. the garage mechanic c sd that the blue on the housing meant that the metal on the housing was getting really hot, which would acct or the smell of burnt rubber. i have not had repaired because my garage cannot find an ac compressor in north america. so luckily no accidents or fires but to me this is a safety hazard.

while driving on the interstate highway, my a/c stopped blowing cold air. took it to honda dealership and firestone autocare. i was told the compressor has busted. the total repair was quoted at us$1300. this seems to be a common problem for honda crvs and i am surprise that there has been no recalls yet. it is very disappointing and disgusting that in the time of the economy we are forced to bear the cost of a manufacturing defect. honda seems to give you a run around excuse. i live in chicago where 9 months out of 12 months you do not need an a/c. this is my 4th summer and adding the math, the a/c lasted just a little over 9 months. please give this.

engine and vsa warning lights came on for our 2007 honda cr-v. honda dealer said it was our timing chain and that this was a typical problem with cars over 100,000 miles. honda supposedly had solved this problem with their belts by going to the chain. our car had 98,000 miles on it. the cost to fix this was $1,600.00! driving the cr-v right after this problem was fixed the tpms alarm came on. now we have to pay even more to have this fixed and due to high repair costs cannot get fixed right away, so left driving without this safety system. talked to dealer was no help and honda of america was no help. they said it was because we did not change the oil as we should. the honda cr-v maintenance book said to change oil when the oil change warning light comes on, this is what we did each and every time, but honda said we should change before that! why do they state to change when warning light comes on if this is not true? we bought this vehicle new because we thought it was reliable and low maintenance! *kb

we have a problem with the door latch in our 2007 honda cr-v on the back driver seat. it was fixed under the warranty. couple months later we started having a problem with the front driver door. i was on the way back home with an 8 week old baby . when i parked the car and tried to open door i realized that the doors were completely closed- i couldn't open them at all. i tried several times with no result. the baby i was caring on the back of the seat and i couldn't get out of the car. after many tries, i used the front passenger door to get out of the car. the driver doors and the trunk were completely closed- jammed. i couldn't even open with the key. i was so scared as i'm using that car to go to the doctor or for shopping purposes. all the time my baby is with me and this is a very serious safety issue if you cannot open the driver door. i called my husband and we went to the closest honda service- mcgrath honda. they told us that they can fix it the next day for $500. they did. the next day car was fixed, but on my back way home i realized that front passenger door had the same problem. i came back to the service and they fix the door for free as it were the third door with the same issue. my main concern is what will happen if the car will be on fire? how i will escape with my baby if the doors are jammed? what will happen with my baby if the situation will repeat? *kb

1st failure was tires in rear of the vehicle were worn on the inside causing the tire to deflate. returned to the dealer asking them what happened. they blamed the tire manufacturer. put new tires on had all the necessary dealer scheduled maintenance. rotation ect. the new tires installed at 42,000 began to shimmy badly in the rear of the vehicle at 63,000 miles. took the vehicle to a honda dealer in fl and the tires had to be replaced in the rear because of the same wear as the 1st set. the rear suspension can not be adjusted to correct this problem. the solution was after market (not honda mfg parts) with an adjustable arm. the camber can now be adjusted to make the vehicle safe to drive, the tires would have worn out in an area not easy to see an cause a blowout at high speed would be a real problem. honda corp will not admit fault. i see many people on the internet with the same problem as i experienced. the extended vehicle ins. i purchased will not pay for this problem. they say honda has modified this part and they will not pay. this should be a recall in my opinion because of the safety issue. i was lucky to have my tire failure occur at a slow speed. at 70 mpg it would have been bad and everyone would have blamed the tires. but the real problem is the vehicle's unable to adjust the alignment to stop abnormal tire wear. honda and all the dealers are in denial of the problem.

when checking washer fluid, i noticed the fluid was not visible, so i added the proper fluid. as nothing happened, i looked under car, & the washer solution was running out on the concrete floor, as i poured it into jug. upon further examination, i found pieces of the tubing that had been chewed on, and in some areas, chewed completely through. one of these areas i was able to access via a plastic door, about 12 inches wide, by about 2 inches in height, located under the hood, in the center of the firewall, just below the windshield wipers. i found pieces of tubing in this area, also. looking further, i found insulation that mice had moved from an unknown area, to make their nest. with some difficulty, i finally received a call from a honda rep, in california. after about 25 minutes of discussion, in a peaceful manner, i was not offered any solution to the mice problem, as i was trying to get honda to help me determine where the point of entry was located at, in the car body, that would allow mice to gain entry. as a former auto mechanic, & a structure aircraft mechanic, i planned to make the repair myself. (the insulation movement could be affecting the a/c & heating systems, also). later, i found both of the wires to the left clearance light had been chewed completely through, wire & all. i later read on a web site, that the wiring insulation was made out of recycled food material, such as the husks from corn, or pods from mature dried beans!! i consider the windshield washer problem a safety hazard, for sure. other mfg of asian cars could be using food grade wiring. if the mice can't be stopped, they could totally destroy these newer type cars, looking for shelter, with a built-in food supply. this should be considered a fire hazard, also, in my opinion, due to causing a short-circuit in the wiring systems.

when driving the vehicle,the automatic power door locks are supposed to engage when the car reaches approximately 10 mph, while driving my vehicle, this does happen but after the door locks engage, both rear doors on my vehicle unlock for no apparent reason. this appears to me to be a safety issue as i have 3 small grandchildren and i am afraid to allow them to ride in the back seat of my vehicle for fear that they may open the doors while the vehicle is moving and even though this vehicle is equipped with "childproof door locks", i will not totally rely on this as the only method to securing the doors. i have spoken to honda on a couple of occasions in this matter,but they seem to attribute it to a wear and tear or electrical issue and even though they agreed with me that this was a potential safety issue, they did not seem to take my concerns seriously.i have also discovered that the 2006 honda cr-v was recalled for the exact same problem and as early as a few months ago the 2012 honda cr-v along with some acura models are being recalled for these defective power door lock mechanisms.i replaced the front door mechanism in 2009 only to have both rear door mechanisms fail at the same time a short time later. i find it hard to attribute the failure of two individual parts to fail at the same time to a case of wear and tear or an electrical issue. i feel that these parts are failing due to an inferior design and i would like for this matter to be investigated. thank you.

SEATS

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.

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

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.

TIRES

in august, 2010, we purchased 4 goodyear assurance fuel max tires. on december 7, 2012 , my wife and i experienced a blow out to our rear tire traveling on interstate-95 in florida at a high speed ((70mph) causing me to lose control of our 2007 honda crv. we swerving across six lanes of traffic, almost flipped, and narrowly avoided crashing into concrete a wall before i finally obtained control of the car and was able to pulley off onto the emergency lane. our vehicle was serviced by goodyear in october, and the tires were inspected and rotated at that time. at the time of the blowout, the tires only had 27,000 miles on them. they are warrantied for 65,000 miles. we contacted the goodyear store the next day, and the manager inspected the tire and could not determine why the tire blew out. he asked if we hit something. we didn't hit a thing. we just heard a pop. the assistant manager of the store stated, "that's what they all say," regarding our statement that we hit nothing. the tire was not torn, but was split from rim to rim, completely severing the belts. my wife and i could have been killed in this accident and other drivers could have seriously injured as well. we do not want anyone to experience anything like this ever again. goodyear claims that they do not have any problem with these tires, but we have seen similar complaints on the internet about blowouts on goodyear assurance tires. goodyear offered us a small price adjustment to replace our tires, but we are afraid to purchase goodyear tires. goodyear must recall these defective tires before someone loses their life.

the mechanics of the door locks have become progressively worse beginning first with the front passenger door and then spreading to the right side rear passenger door, driver door, and rear hatch. all of the doors randomly lock and unlock and make a loud rattling sound while doing so. the right side rear door no longer unlocks from the outside. the rear hatch only opens 5% of the time we attempt to open it (which is a nightmare when it is full of luggage or groceries). the doors will not unlock manually with a key... only the fob key. i have seen numerous complaints online addressing this problem and am shocked that it has not been addressed by honda. it is a major safety hazard.

i was at the cabin finishing up some chores. went to put some tools in the back seat of the honda crv and the door would not open. the same thing happened to the back hatch. the door could not be opened with out great difficulty from the inside and not at all from the outside. the hatch could be opened also only from the inside after crawling over the seats and only after removing the latch panel and manually flipping the latch. after i got home i researched the problem and the internet is full of such problems. i understand that some models of crv 2006 and older had a recall. of course mine is a 2007. problems with the latch and actuator are a significant safety issue as if there was an accident or fire both of these egresses out of the vehicle would not be available either by the occupants or rescue personnel. the cost to get this repaired is significant leaving the potential for the problem not to be fixed immediately.

on my 2007 crv the doors, if not already locked, lock automatically when the car reaches about 10 to 20 mph. in mid august 2012 i began to hear the clicking of the door locking each time i started after being stopped at a light or having slowed down. i realized that the passenger rear door was not locking. i brought it to be fixed and was told it was the actuator. the cost to repair was $230.00. two months later, it happened again with another door-this time, the passenger front door. and then in december it happened again with the driver side rear door. i did not get the last two fixed right away due to the cost (with 2 it would be around $500.00 which i did not have at the time) but it became a significant problem because i could not lock my car. this is a saftey issue too, i did not feel comfortable riding in my car in certain neighborhoods and i was concerned about possible theft of my car or items in my car since there was no way to lock the doors. i have had the two actuators replaced and have contacted honda but they say there is no recall for my vin # and with the milage and age of my car....however, there have been several other models with door lock issues. honda knows that the door locks are/have been an issue. i believe it is a safety concern that honda should address. no one should have to wait until they can afford to fix these locks in order to get them fixed!

door locks began to lock and unlock by themselves repeatedly as i drove, unlocking @ around 9 mph no matter how many times i relocked. if i relocked them they would open at an intersection stop (very unsafe also!), or just open & close while i was driving - all kinds of noisy door-locking & unlocking. i was unable to keep the rear door locked at all when i stopped the car, leaving it unlocked at night or if i left the care to go somewhere. i was on a trip with luggage, computer, gps, etc. in the car and it was unlocked! when i got back home to rhode island and brought it to the dealership they found the lock actuators on the front & rear passenger doors needed to be replaced at a cost of $524. they stated they didn't know what happened but it was not cause by anything i did, which made me even more uncomfortable because then it might happen again! i felt i had to pay to have the service completed because i felt so unsafe with an unlocked auto, both on the road when driving and also overnight or when parked. i have just submitted this information, service invoice, and a copy of my proof of payment to honda in torrance, ca, only because i saw a similar complaint on wpri-tv in providence - which made me realize i was not at all alone with this issue.

driver's side rear door lock moves itself into unlock position either immediately after locking, or within a few minutes of driving. the actuator will lock, but there is clearly a spring force that gradually unlocks the door during driving, or even when stationary in a parking lot. i first noticed the problem as the doors would continually try to lock in stop and go traffic. eventually, i found which door, when i opened it from the outside when all others were locked. it doesn't matter if the child safety switch is engaged or not. the door will still unlock itself.

for some time now the doors open and then immediately lock again when using remote keyless entry. but now occasionally the panic button goes off and the car honks and flashes and the vehicle is inoperable. this results in a safety hazard as the latest incident occurred with children in the vehicle with high temperatures and we were all essentially stranded until the car settled down. it is easy to imagine a much more serious scenario where the children are locked in the car and the car cannot be opened because the locks are inoperable and the car will not respond to deactivating the panic button.

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.

my door locks on the car would lock and unlock while driving and there was no way to stop it from doing this. in addition, there was no way for me to lock the vehicle while driving or after parking and leaving the vehicle. when the dealer did not fix the problem i then asked them how i could lock the vehicle and the servicemen sent me on my way and said there was no way to do so. this problem has continued with each of the doors. the latest is that the car door will not unlock. the other day i had to crawl across the console to get out of the car because there was no way to unlock the door and get out. i am concerned about the safety of this issue because if there were an accident it is possible that people in the car would not be able to get out, especially if the accident resulted in a car fire. in addition, with children in the back seat, there is no way to prevent them from opening the door while driving. i have taken the car into honda six times regarding the different doors and each time have had to fight with them regarding fixing this problem. the first time the vehicle was under warranty so it was fixed without a question, but each additional time i have had to wait several days and argue with different people. door locks should work and when you review different forums and blogs on line and so many people have complained about this safety issue they should be taking care of this problem.

the front right passenger door and the hatch door were locked shut. i could not open either door with the remote or manually. i was concerned this could be dangerous for the passenger if we were ever involved in an accident and needed to get out of the car immediately. i did have both doors repaired. then a few months later the rear door started making a grinding noise whenever the doors locked or unlocked. then the drivers door would open and close all the doors at random times. i was concerned the doors would lock me out one day. i do make frequent car trips to see my family in another city and i did not want to get locked out while on route in the middle of nowhere. i have since had those two doors repaired for another few hundred dollars. this is a safety issue for anyone who might be in an accident and the doors will not open. i feel honda should take responsibility for this defect in the crv's before someone does get seriously hurt or worse.

(thank goodness i was still at home and was able to locate the spare key) the car is automatically locking itself within seconds of the unlock button being pressed on the remote. it locks and unlocks itself while driving at this point (july 1, 2013) this again poses a large hazard to transport children in a car whose doors unlock while driving. absolutely a safety defect! after some online research, this is a very common safety malfunction in 2007 crv's, yet honda has not made a recall. i guess they are not that concerned about safety.

the passenger side door lock will not remain locked. it will unlock by itself and when the car is in motion at more the 10 mph the lock will cycle between locking and unlocking. it is the same problem that many other honda owners of a cr-v appear to be having. a passenger must than ride with the door unlocked and i feel this is a safety hazard. also, the car can't be secured when parked. honda corp. is aware of this problem but has not made any effort to correct it. honda corp. states that this is normal wear and tear and because it is out of the warranty mileage(36,000) it is the owners responsibility to pay for this repair. to me this sounds more like a design flaw and honda should stand behind their product.

as i was driving in town my back left door lock suddenly unlocked itself, without my pushing any locking button. this continued sporadically. however, when i took it to the dealership nothing happened, so they could do nothing. later the other back door had the same problem. that may have been in november of 2012, i honestly don't remember. when my husband took the car to the dealership this time, they quoted a price for repair which my husband felt was too high, so he did not have anything done. within the past two months (maybe april of 2013), the drivers' side door also came down with the same unlocking problem. last tuesday afternoon, june 26, 2013, the simple clicking sound which accompanied the unlocking action was replaced with a loud grinding sound. generally this happens when the car is moving from a standing still situation to moving forward. i saw this morning that it happened at 10 mph, but sometimes it just happens several times consecutively. the car cannot be locked, so the door could be opened while in motion, or it could be entered by anyone at any time. i know mine is not the only car of this model to have this problem.

several months ago, i noticed that the lock on the right front passenger's side door of my 2007 honda cr-v would engage and disengage while i was driving. the lock shifted every time i came to a stop sign or traffic light, then would continue to unlock and re-lock every time i went above/below 15 mph. when i put the car in park, however, the lock would re-engage and the car would remain locked. now the lock on this door does not lock at all, regardless of whether the car is in motion. the lock also does not lock when the car is in park. the remote lock does not work, even though the horn beeps and the locks attempt to engage as if the vehicle doors were all locked and remain locked. this morning (july 1, 2013) the back rear passenger's side door began to have the same problem. i had previously mentioned this issue during a service appointment, at which time a honda-certified technician at lehigh valley honda told me that he had "never heard of this problem" and it would "probably just click back into place." i later made mention of the same problem during my inspection two weeks ago, but they did not have time to investigate the issue that day. i just spoke with the same location and have an appointment for july 5 to see if they can "diagnose" the problem. the manager told me he didn't want to "diagnose this over the phone" but insist they give the vehicle a complete workup -- which i am fine with, so long as i am not being charged for labor. this seems like a very real safety issue, as door locks that become disengaged while the car is moving would put anyone in fear of having small children or pets in the back seat. i hope honda sees it necessary to issue a recall and fix the actuator, which is what seems to be the chief complaint among over cr-v owners.

we are having a problem with the door locks on our cr-v. the locks will not stay open for more than 2 seconds. one fob key will open the door. but we have to be ready to open the door at the exact second we hit the fob. the turn key lock does not work. while in the vehicle, whether the ignition is on or off...if we hit the unlock button-it locks again immediately. we are concerned about getting out of the vehicle incase of an emergency. we contacted our honda dealer when this first occurred and was told the problem is the driver door actuator. after doing some research we found this to a wide spread issue and a big enough problem to make the tv news in two different states. before filing this complaint, i called honda corp and explained our issue with the cr-v and found their response to the issue to be very blazay. i explained our research findings and was told to have a diagnostic test done to see if it is a honda defect or our problem. there is a charge for that as well. also in doing the research, we found that doing the driver side door will not take care of the problem and all the doors will eventually need a new actuator. the price is $350 or more per door. this is definitely a major safety issue that honda need to address.

the lock on my right passenger and rear/trunk doors locked and were unable to unlock (could not open manually either). the car was parked in my garage when this occurred. the dealership wanted to charge me $860.00 to repair both locks. after contacting america honda, the price was dropped to $401.00. apparently the problems were the fuse box problem and the door latch actuator. i feel this to be a safety concern especially since i have a toddler who could have been or may be trapped in the car when the doors lock. this is a defect of the vehicle and not a maintenance that i neglected to service or upkeep therefore i feel that i should not have to pay anything and the car should be recalled since i've read enough complaints regarding the crv door locks. i am the original owner of this car and have only taken my car to honda dealership for services.

STEERING

bought vehicle new in 2007 with 18,000. after several months began to realize there was a definite pull to the right. went to a local dealer for maintenance over the past five years and mentioned this pull. each time i was told they did not identify any pull. during a final visit regarding this problem, they said they were able to identify a pull and they suggested an alignment. i replaced my tires and this helped some what, but the pull still exists. after checking various sites, i've come to realize pulling to the right is a common issue in honda cr-v's.

last fall, the door lock on the front passenger door on my 2007 honda crv began to lock back after unlocking it to allow my son into the car. it locks back within 2-3 seconds of unlocking it with the keyless entry. since this time, the other 3 doors operate in the same manner. the doors lock back within seconds after unlocking. on monday, july 15, my car did not start. with the keys in the ignition, i got out of the car to go check under the hood. after checking under the hood, i tried to get back in my car but could not...the doors were locked...all four of them along with the hatchback. i returned inside my home to retrieve my spare car key. the key did not unlock my door. i attempted several times without luck. there is only one key entry point with the model i have and the key did not work. i had to enter the car through the sunroof, which i had left open the previous evening. i then removed the keys from the ignition and attempted to open the door manually with this key. it did not open the door, either. neither does the valet key. the only way i can open my car is with the keyless entry. i checked with the local honda dealer and was told it would cost between $800-$1200 to fix. i do not think this is right - i should be able to open my car with a key. i can get by without the keyless entry but all cars, regardless of mileage or years, should open manually with a key.

in january of 2011 the power door locks on my honda crv started clicking at 10 mph--by february of 2011, the doors started locking on me seconds after i remotely unlocked the door--sometimes not even letting me open the door and get into the car. i had an incident in mid february, when the door blew closed with the key in the ignition, my purse and cell phone in the car--and locked me out of the car--thankfully my sunroof was open and all 63 years of me had to climb into the car through the sunroof. next day we took it to the dealer, who replaced the actuator on the driver door. almost two years later in may of 2013 it started all over again--this time the rear door behind the driver. the first time it cost us $282--this last time it was $244. we have two more doors to go and another lady said she had all of them replaced and it cost her $900.--this is definitely a defect in these cars, and honda should have a recall and reimburse what we had to pay!

yesterday, after returning home, i tried to open the trunk of my crv. it would not release using either the key-based unlocking mechanism or by using the interior locking system. upon further investigation, i discovered that the left, rear passenger door was also unable to unlock through any means. the trunk and the door were, effectively, frozen in place. i have taken my car into honda service today (ron tonkin honda in portland) and they are unable to unlock the left, rear passenger door or trunk through manipulation of the vehicles computer. this will necessitate the removal, and likely braking, of the door's panel, which they estimated will cost over $1000, not counting the replacement of the doors actuator, which is what has likely failed. in an emergency situation, this kind of failure would lead to a situation where someone could not be able to exit the car or someone wouldn't be able to enter the car to assist an injured passenger. my 3 year old rides in the rear of the vehicle every day and this scenario is terrifying to me. based on my reading, i see that there are numerous complaints of this issue (including a class-action lawsuit in newark, nj), but no recall or acknowledgement of the problem has been issued by honda. i am hopeful that my reporting this will result in an acknowledgement of the problem by honda and a recall of the part and replacement with a proven part which is not vulnerable to the same kind of failure.

the left passenger door lock will not lock at all. the right passenger door lock will not unlock 80% of the time. all four door locks randomly lock and unlock while the vehicle is moving. sometimes if the button is pushed to unlock the doors, the locks will 'process' and sound like a machine gun as they go on and off for several seconds in a row. my child has opened the left passenger door (even though the child lock was engaged) while the vehicle was moving. the vehicle cannot be secured when left unattended because the doors do not stay locked, thus placing it at additional risk to be stolen. the locks are a huge safety concern to my family. after researching this on the web, it appears that numerous 2007 honda cr-v's have this same issue.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR

the passenger door regularly does not remain electronically locked despite using the driver door switch and/or remote. this could pose a serious safety concern if involved in vehicular accidents since the occupants may become entrapped when the defect prevents an occupant from unlocking the doors. furthermore, this defect jeopardizes the safety of vehicle occupants since not all doors are capable of being manually unlocked from the exterior. instead, and with the exception of the vehicles driver door, the electronic locking mechanism is the only method available to gain access to the vehicle from the exterior - only the driver's door has a slot allowing use of a physical key. while this issue risks the safety of all occupants, the door lock defect poses an acute risk to children in the front seat since they may be unable to open the door from inside the vehicle and, due to the lack of an exterior locking mechanism, an individual on the outside may not be able to unlock these doors and gain interior access. honda has apparently long been well aware of this issue. despite its longstanding knowledge of this design defect, honda has routinely refused to repair the cars without charge when the defect manifests. as a result of defendants unfair, deceptive and/or fraudulent business practices, owners and/or leasees have suffered an ascertainable loss of money and/or property and/or loss in value. the unfair and deceptive trade practices committed by honda has caused many aggravating circumstances. had i known about this defect, at the time of purchase, i would not have bought it, or would have paid substantially less for it. honda's alleged actions to properly notify consumers of this issue - and to offer successful repair at no charge to consumers - has seriously harmed hondas reputation.

we have a 2007 honda crv and have been having issues with our locks. they will click numerous times when they are not supposed to...everytime a stop is made while driving the car they reclick. it can be a stop sign, stop light, or just a brief stop and we will hear a clicking sound like they are relocking. we have often noticed that when someone tries to enter the driver door or front passenger door the unlock mechanism on the key or driver door has to be hit at the exact same time for a person to be able to open the door. although it is very frustrating to hear these clicks over and over and to have to deal with trying to get into the car like this, there is an even bigger issue of safety. the rear passenger door (behind the driver's seat) will unlock itself after the car is in motion. you can hear the rear door click to unlock and it will show orange. what is even more alarming is that the rear door can be opened while the car is in motion even after the doors have been manually locked by the driver pushing the lock button! this is a serious safety hazard as my children ages 7 and 9 ride in the backseat of our crv.

on our 2007 honda cr-v the passenger side door unlocks almost immediately after being locked, no matter how it is locked. this happens with the car in motion, stopped, with the key fob or manually locked. the door will also lock while driving but then immediately unlock itself. this is only part of the problem. the unlocking of the door also disengages the alarm. i can lock the door and set the alarm and within a second, can open with door with no alarm sounding at all. so with the door unlocking, my wife and children are in harms way when they're stopped as there is nothing to stop someone from entering that front passenger door into the only empty seat in the car and doing bodily harm to them or stealing the car and leaving them where ever they are. this also makes it impossible to secure the car when away from home as both the lock and alarm are disengaged making it too easy for any criminal looking for a target of opportunity. this means in a 24 hour day, my car, while parked and empty or filled with the most important people in my life, is only secured for literally a few seconds. by proxy, that means my wife and children are only secure for less than that.

the drivers door and rear passenger side door automatically lock themselves immediately after opening (within 2 seconds). the actuators in both doors seem to be stuck in the locked position. this is extremely dangerous if you have small children as they can easily become locked in the car. the drivers door is the biggest issue because once it locks itself it triggers all other doors to lock themselves as well effectively locking you out of the vehicle. this happens every time the door unlocks. while running, keys in the ignition, no keys, doesn't matter. will cost roughly $250 per door to repair and because the issue has not been acknowledge you should not trust oem parts.

doors in vehicle lock and unlock themselves while driving. problem appears to happen around the speed of 15 mph, both while accelerating and breaking, ie: slowing down to eventual stop. while this occurs, it is possible to open the door, even as the vehicle is in motion. lock "sounds" are also heard as the locks engage, and disengage while driving. this happens every time we drive. also, when the car is parked and we attempt to lock the car; both with the buttons on either the driver side and passenger side, or the button on the key fob, the drivers side lock makes an unusual sound, like the door is attempting to lock, but something is "off track". when this occurs, the drivers side door is unable to lock. because of this, we cannot set the alarm on the vehicle, which allows anyone to enter the vehicle at the driver side and the hatchback. this problem occurs about 70% of the time. further research into this issue shows that several others have experienced this malfunction in most honda crvs between the years 2007-2010. usually occurs on or around the 50k mile mark, when the factory warranty is no longer effective. because honda will supply customers with the same actuator as already equipt in the vehicle, the problem is not corrected, and eventual repeat of same defects occur.

when i unlocked all the doors - the front passenger door lock opened but then retracted and the door would not open - i clicked the open switch several times and was finally able to open the door - but then the switch seemed to jam again - further research indicated that the actuator is the cause. this appears to be a potentially serious issue - if the door will not open in the event of an emergency - at the very least it is frustrating to have to remember to try to open the door as soon as it is activated otherwise it will retract and not open. i have in the interim tried applying some white lithium grease to the inside and it appears to help temporarily - but the actuator will eventually have to be replaced. i was trying to inquire if this shouldn't be a recall or reimbursement for repair from honda.....

as reported by a number of other honda crv owners, my front passenger door lock unlocks itself. i first noticed it after something was stolen from my car. i could not understand how that was possible because i needed to unlock my driver's side door to get into the car. i never checked the passenger door lock. i then noticed that the car doors continued to lock as i was driving. i looked over and noticed that the passenger door lock would unlock as soon as it locked. so now the lock mechanism keeps trying to lock the door after every stop. this is clearly a safety issue and a recall needs to be made for a faulty part. the safety issue is threefold: 1) preventing items or the car from being stolen because the car cannot be locked; 2) driving in a large city and not being able to lock the passenger side door. i am fearful that someone could enter the car while i am stopped in unsafe locations; 3) i park in a garage and sometimes leave late in the evening. i need to make sure there is no one in my car now before i enter it. gm waited too long to recall their cars. i am asking honda to be more proactive since this is a know issue. i believe there is a class action suit currently pending for this issue, so there are obviously a large number of honda owners who have experienced this issue but may have not reported it here.

drivers and passenger side doors will automatically relock everytime you unlock the doors. it started with the drivers side door, then a few weeks later, the passenger door. to unlock doors you have to physically hit unlock button, then you have half a second to get door open before it locks again on its own. the whole car be unlocked but you can't get into the front doors. i feel this is a safety issue, because if i were in an accident or had some kind of emergency, the front doors wouldn't unlock or open long enough to get out. my kids have a problem getting out, so i won't let them sit in front seat anymore. hoping that the back doors don't start acting up. doing research on this, i see that honda has had class action law suits filed about this same problem, and many complaints about the same issue. on one site it says they had a recall on this in late 2012, but i haven't seen any thing else about a recall.
