2007 Honda Cr-V other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My 2007 Honda CR-V was repaired under NHTSA Recall 23V-228 for corrosion in the rear frame at the trailing arm mount, a condition Honda's own filing says can allow the trailing arm to detach while driving. My vehicle received the support-brace remedy rather than a full structural repair. Since that July 18, 2023 repair, the vehicle has developed Right Rear (RR) tracking instability, whooshing and high-pitched whistling noises, tire bead damage, and toxic exhaust fumes entering the cabin. The component at issue is the rear frame at the trailing arm mount, along with the related RR suspension/tracking behavior and RR tire. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request and is currently located in Wilmington, Delaware. Because corrosion in this area can allow the trailing arm to detach while driving, and my vehicle now shows RR tracking instability, pulling, and a sheared RR tire bead along with toxic exhaust fumes in the cabin, I believe these conditions risk loss of vehicle control and expose occupants to hazardous fumes while driving. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent shop. Union Park Honda could not duplicate the noise I reported on October 30, 2023, and independent shops since December 2024 have performed repairs but have not confirmed a root cause for the tracking, noises, or fumes. No formal inspection has been performed by Honda's engineering staff, police, or an insurer. Mechanics at Union Park Honda and four independent shops (Penny Hill, Firestone, Harvey Road Automotive, and Mighty Muffler) have attempted repairs, but none has performed a structural or root-cause inspection. No warning lamps or dashboard messages appeared at any point. The first symptom I noticed was the whooshing noise, immediately after the July 18, 2023 recall repair.

I received a safety recall letter in June and brought the car to a dealership for inspection. After the inspection, they said that they can't fix it, and the car is dangerous to drive. I contact American Honda, and after almost a month in back and forth with American Honda and the dealership, the car is again inspected, and the report was sent to Amercian Honda on July 29. Since then, I had been waiting for American Honda resolve the problem. We had contacted them every week and they response are always the same, no updates on the case, and someone is going to call me back, and this doesn't happen. They know the car is risk to drive, and we told them about many times in the calls that I don't have another car and don't have money to buy a car, so I need this to be resolved.

Front passenger door when unlocked, locks back by itself. This is not safe because it makes it hard to get out of the vehicle because when you think it’s unlocked and try to get out you’re locked in. I checked to see if there was a recall because I normally get recall notices about other issues. I found that there was indeed a recall but it expired in 2015 which in honesty is not fair to those that have had their vehicles for sometime and during that time period…and never received a recall notification.

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.

This 2007 Honda CRV EX-L, involved spontaneous rear glass explosion as the vehicle was parked in the direct sun light. How is Honda handling these claims? Any help is appreciated.

My front passenger door lock is malfunctioning. When one tries to unlock the door, the lock immediately goes back to the lock position. It is easily demonstrated for inspection. It is unsafe for the passenger in case he needs to quickly exit the car in an emergency. After researching this problem today, I just learned that there was a class action suit against Honda concerning this issue and the plaintiffs won. But unfortunately for me the time period that Honda agreed to cover the cost of repairs expired in 2015. I purchased my pre-owned 2007 Honda CRV in 2016 and my passenger lock began malfunctioning in 2018. I looked up a recall on this issue but did not find one. I did not come across information on the law suit at that time.

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.

Hello, My vehicle's door motors or actuators are not working, specifically the driver side back door and the rear baggage door. This happened as we were trying to get into the vehicle while it was raining heavily on the side of the road due to an emergency toilet brake. This of course was frustrating as we were trying to get into the car and put stuff in the car, and put us in harms way of upcoming traffic because some of us could not get in. This problem has been rampant by Honda Motor company and they had a recall regarding this issue. There were no warning lights for this. We just heard a loud buzz when we tried to open the doors.

This vehicle was purchased used in 2018. Locks were working appropriately. Since then, all 3 locks besides the driver side have failed. I would be so appreciative if the recall would be honored and Honda would pay for the repair and labor to have these problems fixed. It is known to be a mechanical problem and no fault of my own.

I have a 2007 Honda CRV , I am the original owner. I have had issues with the locking system from the beginning. I brought it to the dealer and was told they couldn't find a problem. I went back for a recall and the dealer told me they didn't have the parts at the time. I should bring it back. My fault here, life got in my way (divorce, pandemic, etc.) I went back to the dealer, they replaced the drivers side door lock (still warenteed) but said the other locks were no longer under warrenty and it would cost approx 300$ for my passenger side lock. Additionally, they fixed the drivers side lock and now the trunk hatch won't open

IT IS MORE OF A CONCERN THAN A COMPLAINT AS OF RIGHT NOW. TRANSPORT CANADA HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2007-2011 HONDA CR-VS (HTTPS://WWWAPPS.TC.GC.CA/SAF-SEC-SUR/7/VRDB-BDRV/SEARCH-RECHERCHE/DETAIL.ASPX?LANG=ENG&RN=2019025) THAT OPERATE IN ONTARIO, QUEBEC AND MARITIME CANADA WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED FOR WINTER ROAD DE-ICING. I LIVE IN STATE WHICH BORDERS QUEBEC. WE HAVE A SIMILAR CLIMATE AND RELY HEAVILY ON ROAD SALT FOR WINTER ROAD DE-ICING. THE RECALL ISSUED BY TRANSPORT CANADA (# 2019025) IDENTIFIES THAT ROAD SALT CAN CAUSE THE REAR FRAME TO RUST. AND THIS CORROSION COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A REAR-TRAILING ARM SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE. HONDA HAS PROVIDED A REMEDY. VEHICLES ARE INSPECTED TO ASCERTAIN THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLES THAT PASS THE INSPECTION ARE APPLIED A SEALANT TO PROTECT AGAINST FUTURE CORROSION. VEHICLES THAT FAIL THE INSPECTION ARE EITHER REPAIRED OR BOUGHT BACK BY HONDA. GIVEN THAT USAGE OF ROAD SALT IN NORTHEASTERN STATES THAT BORDER CANADA IS MOST LIKELY COMPARABLE TO THE IDENTIFIED REGION WHERE THE TRANSPORT CANADA RECALL APPLIES, SHOULDN'T VEHICLES OPERATING IN REGIONS OF THE US THAT RELY HEAVILY ON ROAD SALT BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME LEVEL OF SAFETY SCRUTINY?

IN DECEMBER 2017 THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND TAILGATE, SO THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED, EVEN MANUALLY. I HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS THE CENTER CONSOLE TO EXIT THE CAR. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. WE WERE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AT THE TIME. A RECALL HAD BEEN ORDERED AFTER A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED IN 2015, BUT ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS INCLUDED. THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR THE OTHER DOORS FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE SETTLEMENT. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACING TWO ACTUATORS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY FACTORY DEFECTS. HONDA REFUSES TO REIMBURSE ME OR REPLACE THE ACTUATORS ON THE OTHER TWO DOORS THAT WILL SOMEDAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT WOULD ONLY PAY IF ORDERED TO DO SO BY A COURT.

I HAD MY DOOR LOCK REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AFTER THE RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. HOWEVER, JUST 2 WEEKS AGO THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WENT FROM AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING AND LOCKING AND GRADUATED TO A LOUD STRANGE SCRAPPING NOISE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THE NOISE IS VERY ALARMING BECAUSE IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I PROCEED AFTER ASTOP OR TURNING A CORNER TO SLOW DOWN OR AFTER I TURN THE CAR ON. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TWO TIMES AFTER I TURN THE CAR ON.

DRIVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VSA AND OTHER DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE VEHICLE SEMI-STALLED OUT, AND CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT. IT SELF CORRECTED AND I KEPT ON GOING. THIS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES DURING A 60 MILE DRIVE. THEN JUST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - I DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. TODAY MY MECHANIC HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER AND IT IS A PCM PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 CR-V'S FOR A TCM/PCM PROBLEM IN 2011 BUT ACCORDING TO AMERICAN HONDA IT IS "VIN SPECIFIC" AND MY VIN DOESN'T HAVE THIS RECALL PROBLEM. BUT MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM, IT SOUNDS SERIOUS, AND NOW I MUST PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED :( I WON'T EVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA!

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR: IN 2015 RECEIVED RECALL ON DOOR LOCKS MODEL YEARS 2007-2008 (SEE ATTACHED NOTICE/SETTEMENT). IN 2013 AND 2014, I REPLACED THE FRONT AND BACK PASSENGER SIDE DEFECTIVE LOCKS (SCRAPING SOUNDS/LOCKING PASSENGER IN BY OPENING BUT IMMEDIATELY LOCKING) AT MY EXPENSE. DUE TO THE RECALL, HONDA REIMBURSED ME FOR THESE AND PAID TO HAVE THE DRIVERSIDE FRONT REPLACED BY DEALER BEFORE IT BECAME PROBLEMATIC. IN DECEMBER OF 2016 THE BACK DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVERSIDE OF THE CAR STARTED MAKING A SCRATCHING SOUND UPON AUTOLOCKING. WHEN I HAD IT AT DEALER FOR AIRBAG RECALL FIX, THEY SAID ALL THEY DID IS LUBRICATE IT AS RECALL ONLY WAS FOR THEM TO FIX DRIVERS DOOR LOCK. NO IMPROVEMENT IN LOCK NOISE WHICH WORSENED TO THE POINT OF A HIGH PITCH SCREACHING SOUND LASTING 2 SECONDS AND NOT ONLY OCCURRED WHEN AUTOLOCKED WHEN MOVING CAR FROM PARK GEAR BUT WOULD SUDDENDLY OCCUR WHILE DRIVING WHEN TURNING OR STARTING UP FROM STOP LIGHT WHICH WAS VERY STARTLING AND DISTRACTING TO DRIVER. I CONTACTED HONDA IN MAY 2017 ABOUT ISSUE BUT THEY SAID EVEN THOUGH THEY COVERED THE OTHER 3 POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS AS PART OF THERECALL, THEY WONT COVER THIS REMAINING LOCK, CAR IS TOO OLD. THE ATTACHED SETTLEMENT DOCUMENT DOES STATE WARRENTY ON 4 OCCUPANT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS BUT THEY ONLY PAID FOR 3. DUE TO THE PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING UNEXPECTED STARTLING LOUDNESS OF THE DOOR LOCK RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVER, POSING A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING, I HAD IT FIXED 6/27/2017, PAID $211.
