“The problem is with passenger door switch not locking. My alarm went off in my 2007honda crv eight times in one day. So l took it to the dealership and they told me a needed a actuator. I just had a recall on the driver door. I told to repair would $270.00. Why should l pay for this. I think Honda should give a me a discount for the repairs. I love my Honda, but it getting to expensive to maintain. There needs to be a recall on all four doors and the lift gate. When l purchased this car it was wonderful. Now l'm having second thoughts.”

“Approximately 5 weeks ago I was driving locally with my wife and 6 year old son in the car when without warning the brakes suddenly engaged causing the car to come to a sudden stop. The vsa warning light also came on. I pressed on the accelerator but car would not move. After pressing and pulling the brake pedal for several minutes I was able to get the brakes to release. Today I received a frantic call from my wife because as she was driving the car the brakes suddenly locked up while she was driving and caused the car to come to a sudden stop in the middle of the road. …”

“The hatch wouldn't open. Noticed the back left door was stuck locked while other doors opened when unlocked w/key remote and manually from front drivers side door. So I manually opened the lock on the back left door which enabled the hatch to open. From then, the back left door wouldn't lock. Noticed this while driving--my son opened door several times, luckily we weren't on the freeway and he was in a child seat. Otherwise he would've flew out. The door sounded like it locked as it always did but didn't realized the back door wasn't locked.”

“I purchased a 2007 Honda crv in sept 2011 and recently the car failed and began to lose power randomly. A few days ago the engine light came on and the vsa light as well. When you hit 20 MPH 40 MPH etc the vehicle stalls and jerks. I attempted to fix the problem looking at the owners manual but I couldn't find or do anything on my own to fix it. I took it to the Honda dealer in orlando where I purchased it from and they want to charge me just to check it. I feel this is a safety issue. I've also noticed many postings about this malfunction on different web sites. …”

“The vehicle had all the lights on the dash illuminated. It lost its ABS and vehicle stability control. It did not cause any damage to us since the road was not that crowded. After that we always had to keep a safe distance. Got inspected at Honda showroom and they found that the vehicle stability modulator was not working and it would cost $2000 to have it fixed.”
