| Description of the problem | 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! |
