Other body or interior problem on the 2007 Honda CR-V
4 crashes 1 fire 2 injuries 1 death 8 of the 254 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
When other body or interior problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Honda CR-V report other body or interior problem at a median of 84,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 59,000 miles and a quarter after 103,000 miles, from 211 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 88,000 miles. It is the 1st most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 43,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 129,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 86,000 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
When the reports scatter this far, the mileage is telling you about how these cars were driven more than about the part itself.
5% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 43,000 miles | 59,329 miles | 84,000 miles | 103,000 miles | 129,000 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 4 a crash, 1 a fire, 2 an injury and 1 a fatality are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
Putting it right typically runs $200–$2,000 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 28 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2022, at a median of 200 miles, and latest on the 2021 at 135,000 miles.
By volume the 2008 carries the most reports, with 256; the 2007 has 254. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
I was involved in a minor collision and the amount of damage to the total damage to my 2007 honda cr-v was well over $8,000. I was rear ended by someone and pushed into the car in front of me. There was no damage at all to the car I was pushed into and only minor damage to the car that rear-ended me. The rear end damage to my car was over $3,000 and the front end damage to my car was over $5,000. This was a very low speed collision on a local street and even the collision shop manager was stunned at the amount of damage to the car, especially the front end. The compressor of the air conditioner was damaged beyond repair by this minor collision and had to be replaced. My auto insurance had to pay for this. The collision shop manager said he'd never seen anything quite like that - he asked me if this was a high speed collision (it was not), then asked me if the car I was pushed into had a trailer hitch sticking out (it had nothing sticking out). I now am reading numerous consumer complaints by people about the air conditioner compressor in this car in which the dealer stated that the compressor was damaged by a "pebble" from the…
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda crv. The contact stated that the driver side would not unlock from the inside or the outside of the vehicle. The contact had to enter/ exit the vehicle from the passenger side door. The vehicle was towed to a local body shop to have the locks repaired. The contact has not called the manufacture regarding this issue. The contact feels this is a safety issue because the contact was locked out of the vehicle in freezing cold weather. Failure mileage was 44,000. Jo
My honda crv 2007 vehicle did a sudden acceleration of half the vehicle length when attempting to park the car. If anyone would have been in front of my vehicle, they would be dead. In light of all the toyota press, I decided to report this. I did have a floor mat in place, was it caught in the gas pedal? Have their been any report of trouble with the honda crv? This occurred once only and I did remove floor mats. This occurred on november 23, 2009. I would appreciate any information on this as it was very frightening and still concerns me.. *tr

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 254 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does other body or interior problem happen on the 2007 Honda CR-V?
Across 211 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 84,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 59,000 miles and a quarter after 103,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is other body or interior problem on the 2007 Honda CR-V?
254 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 2.1 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
