NHTSA Complaint #11082572 — 2007 HONDA CR-V

WE WERE DRIVING AND STOPPED THE CAR OUTSIDE A RESTAURANT. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK USING THE DOOR HANDLE. IT FINALLY OPENED WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS PRESSED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM THE RESTAURANT AND GOT INSIDE THE CAR, THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. WE TRIED THE KEY FOB AND THE DOOR CONTROL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE PANEL. AS WE STARTED TO DRIVE, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND WOULD NOT STOP. EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS THE LOCK CLICKED OPEN, CLICKED LOCKED BUT THE INDICATOR THAT TURNS RED WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED WOULD NOT FULLY ENGAGE. THE INDICATOR WAS ONLY PARTIALLY RED. IT WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AND WOULD NOT LOCK. THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK CLICKED ON- AND - OFF EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS WHEN WE WERE DRIVING. WE CAN'T LOCK OUR CAR DOOR WHEN IN MOTION AND CAN'T LOCK THE CAR DOORS WHEN STOPPED OR PARKED. IT IS NOT SAFE.
