2007 Honda CR-V electrical system problems

“I bought the 2007 Honda CRV in 2022. Approximately 1 month ago my keys were locked inside. 3 reputable locksmiths could not unlock any doors. My extra fob or extra key will not unlock any doors. The passenger door had been making a ticking then grinding noise when it locks itself. All 3 locksmiths said this a serious safety problem and the actuator is at fault. The only way to get in was to retrieve my set of keys out of the wedged door. I haven't received any recalls on actuators but there was a class action in 2015-2016 (which I was not the owner then) that stated ALL 2007, 2008 and a few 2009 Honda CRVs were to have the actuators replaced at Honda expense. I'm afraid that if my disabled son is inside and it locks itself, we won't be able to get him out. Please assist me in this matter. Thank you, [XXX]”

“Complaint: Both rear doors and the front passenger door no longer lock or unlock electronically using the key fob or interior switch. The failure began gradually and worsened over time. I recently had the driver door replaced by A Honda dealer as part of the warranty but the passenger and back door were not part of the warranty and dealership has also confirmed the lock failures. This creates serious safety risks: •Doors randomly unlock while driving and while parked •Cannot reliably open doors in an emergency •At times, the vehicle must be left unlocked •I transport young children, making manual locking unsafe Additionally, the vehicle has a persistent engine oil leak that mechanics cannot permanently fix. Oil loss between changes risks engine damage, loss of power, or fire. I request NHTSA investigate these defects and consider a recall for the failing door locks and the engine oil leak.”

“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”
