What is your question?
My back passenger door will no longer lock on its own without manual force or being taped shut (and even then, it prys back to "unlock.") So now, when I drive, because the car senses that not all of the doors are locked, anytime I go over 8 miles an hour, it locks. Then unlocks. Then locks. Then unlocks. It is getting obnoxious and I am worried about the security of my car. What do I need to do to fix this? How much is the average cost to fix this?

First time my locks went bad was at 32000 miles. Dealer warranty: Replaced front drivers door lock actuator assembly and R/R door lock actuator and cables. Warranty so dont know price. Second time this happened, I was so happy. No warranty. 70,000 miles I started experiencing the same problem but it seemed worse. Right passenger side door would stay locked and passengers could not get it unlocked at all. Unsafe. Replaced Power Door Lock Actuator RT FN $55 part and $100 labor. Also replaced Power Door Lock Actuator LF. Again $55 part and $100 for labor. Also charged $30 to diagnose it. This was NOT done at Honda dealership. You should be worried about safety because you may not be able to get out of the car in an emergency. This is a major issue with 2007 Honda CRV that Honda is aware of...amongst MANY other problems with 2007 CRV. I replaced my entire air conditioning system 2 times at my cost..$1600 each. Both electric radiator fans went bad: around $400 each. All before 80,000 miles. At 95,000 I had to replace rack and pinion steering for $1355. I am now at 105,000 miles and my alternator went. $185-replaced it myself. Oh, I'm on my 5th battery: two were from Honda. Plan on putting money into this car. 2007 is First model of 3rd generation CRV. Seems first or latest models always have problems that get worked out with the 2nd year. I highly recommend changing all your fluids on time including differential. Use HONDA FLUIDS ONLY. Also be sure to use 5W-20 oil. I have caught oil shops using 10W-30 and swore they didnt. I change it myself now. Have your valves adjusted at 30,000 mile intervals. Book says just over 100,000, some people say every 15,000. Costs much less than a new engine or valves and top end. Honda will not tell you about getting them adjusted so often. Even if they are not rattling, they could be too tight. Good luck with the car. Hope yours has better luck than mine. Bought mine new. I have taken super good care of the car hoping it would last me for years to come. They say Honda goes forever...as long as you have money. Look around for shop that works on Hondas. I have found most of their rates to be much lower than Honda charges here at $113 hour. Price does not mean quality. Never found that from Honda.
