2008 Honda CR-V complaints

DOOR LOCKS IN VEHICLE KEEP ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE EACH TIME THE CAR STOPS AND STARTS AND REACHES 15 MPH EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY LOCKED. OCCASIONALLY, THE LOCKS ATTEMPT TO LOCK EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 15 MPH.. *TR

MY CAR DOOR DRIVERS SIDE LOCK STOPPED WORKING IN MAY IT COST ME CLOSE TO $700 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES HONDA SAID I HAD TO DO BOTH OF THEM. THE WHEN I WAS DRIVING OUT THE END OF MAY TO VISIT MY MOM IN WASHINGTON STATE, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. THAT WAS $1400 IN WA TO REPLACE. ON THE WAY HOME IN AUGUST MY AC STOPPED WORKING JUST BLEW HOT AIR WHEN IT WAS 92 OUTSIDE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER CAR. THERE ALL VERY UNCOMMON SO THEY SAY BUT AFTER RESEARCHING THE AC CLUTCH PROBLEM I SEE IT HAPPENS A LOT AND HONDA SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA EVER!! *TR

DOOR LOCK ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LOCK WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT TRIES TO, BUT THEN GOES TO THE UNLOCK POSITION. THIS IS CONSTANT WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ALSO, IT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN PARKED. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK CANNOT BE LOCKED. KEEP UNLOCKING BY ITSELF. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON 2007-2009 CRV. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP BEFORE ANYBODY GET HURTS. *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR-LOCK DOES NOT STAY LOCKED. IT GRADUALLY BEGINS TO UNLOCK EVEN THOUGH IT'S LOCKED BY REMOTE OR MANUALLY. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY REMAIN OPEN EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE LOCKED. IT PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE REMAINS OPEN EVEN DURING THE NIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,000. .... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF

I HAVE THE 2008 CR-V. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, ALL MY DOOR LOCKS STARTED AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THEMSELVES AT AROUND 9 OR 10 MILES PER HOUR. I'M AFRAID TO LET MY KIDS RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT NOW. WHAT IF ONE OF THEM DECIDED TO HANG ON TO THE DOOR HANDLE AND IT OPENED ACCIDENTALLY WHILE WE WERE MOVING? I HOPE HONDA GETS A HANDLE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUES A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK AND COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED. I HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO EXIT THE AUTOMOBILE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS AN FAIRLY HAPPENS WITH SEVERAL HONDAS THAT HAS NOT BEE ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY. ALSO IT IS FAIRLY COSTLY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.THIS HAPPENED AUGUST 9, 2013. *TR

PASSENGER DOOR LOCK AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS AND CAN NOT MANUALLY BE UNLOCKED. TOOK TO DEALER AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, I WAS TOLD CARE WAS "JUST OUT OF WARRANTY". CAR IS NOW AT 75,000 MILES AND ALL 5 DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED. RESULTING IN MY KEYS BEING LOCKED INSIDE AT A CAR WASH BY THE EMPLOYEES. CURRENT CLASS ACTION SUIT IS PENDING. HONDA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT CHARGE ME NEARLY $325 FOR EACH DOOR LOCK REPAIR. HONDA SHOULD DO MORE TO PLEASE THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

DOOR LOCKS OPEN ON THEIR OWN WHILE I AM DRIVING AND I AM UNABLE TO SECURE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS PARKED. DRIVER SIDE REMAINS LOCKED BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE KEEPS OPENING AND TRYING TO LOCK AGAIN. *TR

AFTER LOCKED ALL DOOR WHILE ITS RUNNING THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK OPEN ITSELF. *TR

THE POWER DOORS ON THE 2008 HONDA CR-V HAVE STOPPED OPERATING. WE HAVE BECOME LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ALSO THE LOCKS RANDOMLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DANGER INVOLVED AND THE FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS WHEN LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR IS TREMENDOUS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS ON THE HONDA CR-V WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA FOR REPAIR AND ADVISED STAFF OF THE ONLINE INFORMATION THEY INDICATED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THEY EVER READ THE ONLINE INFORMATION AND WERE AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE LOCK ACTUATOR; AGAIN THEY PLED IGNORANCE. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT COST ME THE $50. CO-PAY AND ALSO THE RETURN OF OVER $840 FOR USING THE WARRANTY FOR THE REPAIR. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM LIVID! THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE FAILED BEFORE IT WAS A YEAR OLD AND NOW THE ACTUATORS. I HOPE HONDA FINALLY COMMITS TO A RECALL ON THE DOOR LOCKS, THEN I INTEND TO SEEK AN ATTORNEY'S ASSISTANCE IN RECOVERY OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY REBATE. PLEASE MAKE ALL OWNERS AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM, PARTICULARLY IF THEY HAVE CHILDREN OR PETS TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEAD REST WAS PROTRUDING OUT TOO FAR, CAUSING BACK PAIN TO THE DRIVER.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000. UPDATED 09/18/13*LJ

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK SLOWLY LOCKS BY ITSELF AFTER THE KEY FOB IS USED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL SLOWLY UNLOCK BY ITSELF AFTER THE KEY FOB IS USED TO LOCK THE DOORS (EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR). THE CAR LOCKS WILL REPEATEDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED NOW. ALL AUTO-LOCK FEATURES WERE TURNED OFF AND THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UNDER 10 MPH THE DOORS LOCKED. SHE HAD TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR AND NOW SHE IS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED NOR WAS THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,786. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,886. UPDATED 09/05/13*LJ

FELLOW HONDA OWNERS: JUST STARTED EXPERIENCING DOORLOCK FAILURES. (61,000 MILES). MY NOTICED REAR DOOR LOCK (BEHIND PASSENGER)NOT LOCKING AFTER KEY FOB IS CLICKED. ALSO NOTICED AS CAR ACCELERATED FROM 5-10MPH THE ALL DOOR LOCKS WOULD ATTEMPT TO LOCK. DRIVING US CRAZY AS WELL AS POSING A SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T LEAVE VALUABLES IN THE CAR FOR FEAR OF IT GETTING STOLEN. READ THAT IT'S THE ACTUATOR. P/N 72155-S5A-A01. ALSO HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I GUESS ONCE IT REACHES A MAJOR THRESHOLD (1000 COMPLAINTS)- THEN THEY'LL ACT. OTHERWISE IT'S THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR. ALL ACTUATORS SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY EVENTUALLY WILL FAIL. DEALERS WILL GLADLY PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT OF ACTUATORS. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HONDA RELIABILITY ? I GUESS THEY DON'T BUILD THEM LIKE THEY USE TO. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN JAPAN, HOWEVER THE ACTUATOR PART WAS PROBABLY MANUFACTURED ELSEWHERE. REALLY DISAPPOINTING HONDA..........ON MY MODEL 2008 THERE IS ALSO A PENDING SWITCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I WONDER WHEN HONDA ISSUES A RECALL FOR THAT? *TR

REAR DOOR AND REAR HATCH LOCKS BECAME INOPERATIVE WHEN VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PARKED, HAD CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN DOORS MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. BECAUSE CHILDREN WERE IN CAR SEATS IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET CHILDREN OUT OF CAR. ALSO THERE WAS NO WAY TO OPEN LOCKED DOORS VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS UNTIL THIS CONDITION WAS REPAIRED. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS CONDITION IN AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS WOULD LOCK INDEPENDENTLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 09/30/13*LJ

LAST WEEK WHILE IN ATLANTA, GA MY HONDA CRV 2008 DOORS STARTED LOCKING WITH IN SECONDS OF ME HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. MAKING IT VERY HARD TO GET IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS ON IN PARK AND DOOR ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED AND LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WITH NOTICING LOCKING MY DOG IN THE CAR WITH NO AIR. I DO NOT HAVE THE SPARE KEY. THANKFULLY AFTER CALLING 911 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR UNLOCKED MY GETTING THE WINDOW TO ROLL DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROX 86 DEGREES AND WHO KNOWS HOW HOT IN THE CAR.FORTUNATELY, THEY CAME WITH IN 30 MIN OF THIS HAPPENING. THE DOG WAS SCARED AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND RELUCTANT TO BE IN THE CAR. THE CAR NORMALLY AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS ONCE THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE OVER THE WEEKEND.I AM ALSO UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE CAR MANUALLY WITH JUST THE KEY. THIS ISSUE CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH AS I TRAVEL WITH MY DOG AROUND TOWN AND HAVE ONLY THE ONE KEY. *TR

I WAS LOCKED INTO MY CAR I COULD NOT UNLOCK THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY I WAS TRAPPED AND HAD TO CALL A LOCK SMITH TO COME SAVE ME. AFTER THE FACT I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD MAKE A REPORT BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. ON TOP OF THIS I WASN'T ALONE I HAD MY SMALL GRAND CHILDREN WITH ME AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T CARE. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT A HONDA BUT I AM NOT WANTING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER DIME OF MY MONEY. I REPLACED ONE LOCK BUT IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN! DOOR ACTUATOR. IS THE ERROR IT HAS AND NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL FOR IT. *TR

UPON STOPPING VEHICLE AND PLACING IT IN PARK AND TURNING OFF IGNITION. I UNLOCK AUTOMATIC DOOR AND WITHIN SECONDS IT RELOCKS ITSELF, IT WILL NOT LET ME MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL TRAP MY FAMILY OR ME IN A ACCIDENT, POTENTIALLY PUTTING US AT SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A FIRE. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THIS WITH A RECALL. *TR

DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING LOCKED ALL THE DOORS *TR

LOCK ON RIGHT FRONT DOOR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. IT STARTED BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY ITSELF. NOW IT IS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND EVERY TIME I LOCK OR UNLOCK IT. I HAVE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT GETTING STUCK IN THE CAR WHEN IT DECIDED TO LOCK AND "NOT" UNLOCK. I HAVE BEEN ASSISTING A 92 YEAR OLD WOMEN. IMAGINE IF SHE WAS STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF A LOCKING PROBLEM OR IMAGINE A CHILD STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. THANK YOU!

IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR (2013), THE 2008 HONDA CRV-EX THAT I PURCHASE CERTIFIED, PRE-OWNED IN OCTOBER 2012, BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LOCKS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AND LOCK THEMSELVES EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. THE PROBLEM STOPPED AFTER A FEW DAYS, THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, STARTED OCCURRING AGAIN. BEFORE I CALLED TO HAVE IT CHECKED, IT STOPPED, BUT THEN I WOULD HEAR A SQUEALING SOUND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DOORS WERE LOCKED UPON ACCELERATION. ALL OF THESE ISSUES STOPPED, BUT THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO (JULY 2013), BOTH DOORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED RELOCKING THEMSELVES WITHIN 3 SECONDS OF BEING UNLOCKED BY EITHER THE KEY FOB OR FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THEY CANNOT BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED MANUALLY, EVEN WITH AUTO LOCK OFF. THEY ALSO CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE BY THE PASSENGER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILD, WHO WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN HIS DOOR AND EXIT IMMEDIATELY IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) LIGHT IS ON PERMANENTLY ON MY DASHBOARD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER TECHNICIAN I SPOKE WITH, THIS MEANS THE TPMS HAS STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH THE SENSORS ON AT LEAST ONE OF MY TIRES. THIS IS A HAZARD IN THAT I COULD HAVE DANGEROUSLY LOW TIRE PRESSURE AND WOULD NOT KNOW IT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A BLOW OUT AT HIGH FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS SAME TECHNICIAN REPORTED HE HAS SEEN "QUITE A FEW" 2007 AND 2008 CRVS COMING IN WITH THIS ISSUE. I CA

RIGHT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT STAY UNLOCKED IN THE BEGINNING. SINCE THEN, ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S UNLOCK SECONDS AFTER THEY ARE COMMANDED TO LOCK, THIS IS WITH OR WITHOUT THE CAR RUNNING, DRIVERS MASTER SWITCH, FOB OR AUTO LOCK, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THEY WON'T STAY LOCKED. NO SECURITY HERE. I HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS SINCE THE EARLY 80'S. FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD LIKE THIS. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

ON MARCH 21, 2012, I TOOK MY2008 HONDA CRV FOR SERVICE .MY POWER DOOR LOCKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING.. THEY WOULD CONSTANTLY LOCK AND UN LOCK AS I WAS DRIVING. THEY WOULD BE CLICKING LOCK AND UNLOCK , DEALER CLAIMED I NEEDED AN ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AT THE COST OF APP. $250. I NATURALLY HAD IT REPAIRED AS IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, SINCE MY SMALL GRANDSONS ARE IN THE BACK. ON JULY 10, 2013 I RETURNED WITH THE IDENTICAL DOOR LOCK PROBLEM. SINCE I HAD DRIVEN MORE THAN 12,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST REPAIR , THIS WAS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER EXPRESSING MY DISSATISFACTION, THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND HONDA AGREED TO PAY HALF OF REPAIR COSTS. MY COST -$87.00. SINCE IT WAS A MAJOR SAFETYCONCERN FOR ME, I AGREED. GUESS WHAT? TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS RE OCCURRED. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CLICKING OPEN AND CLOSED.WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT'S PROBABLY AN UNDERLYING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I AM RELUCTANT TO SPEND ANYMORE ON THIS APPARENTLY UNFIXABLE ISSUE, BUT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUNG CHILDREN AND INFANTS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE IN THE BACKSEAT. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA PRESSURE HONDA MOTORS TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK DUE TO FAILED DOOR ACTUATOR. *TR

THE VEHICLES BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE, IT THE FRONT ROTORS MOSTLY, THEY DETERIORATE VERY QUICKLY ALONG WITH THE HIGH QUALITY BRAKE PADS. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AT 70,000 AND THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING DAMAGED . THERE HAS BEEN AN UNSETTLING VIBRATION IN THE BRAKING/STEERING SYSTEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR . I AM CONVINCED THAT HONDA NO LONGER MAKES QUALITY VEHICLES AND THE SOONER THEY STOP MAKING CARS THE BETTER. AT 25,000 MILES WE HAD THE AC CLUTCH START TO SLIP ON US WHILE WE WERE IN ABOUT 120'F TEMPS IN BON OUR WAY TO BULLHEAD CITY. WE ARRIVED COMPLETELY SOAKED IN SWEAT AND WITH THE BEGINNING STAGES OF CHAPPED LIPS FROM THE HOT AIR BLOWING FROM THE AC. WE HAD AN AIR LEAK IN THE MOON ROOF SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, ALL HONDA DID WAS MAKE US WASTE OUR TIME WHILE THE MICKEY MOUSED THE SEAL, ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERS AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT ,IT STARTED MAKING THE WHISTLE AGAIN AFTER I OPENED AND CLOSED IT. I HAD GREASE PRINTS ALL OVER THE HEAD LINER FROM THAT EXPERIENCE.THE LEATHER ARM REST STARTED BUBBLING AND PEELING ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE, IT LOOKS HORRIBLE . I HAVE HAD BETTER USED CARS THEN THIS. I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT HONDA EXCEPT IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FAMILIES LIFE AND VALUE WHAT YOU BUY WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY . THEN DON'T EVER EVER BUY A HONDA. THEY DESERVE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND BE SUED BY EVERY PERSON THAT EVER BOUGHT FROM THEM . *TR

ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING MY 2008 HONDA CRV AND THE DOORS LOCK, THEY BEGIN TO UNLOCK AND SLOWLY RE-LOCK. VERY OFTEN IT CONTINUES TO UNLOCK AND RE-LOCK FOR MOST OF THE TRIP BEFORE REMAINING LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY SINCE I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WHO RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOORS UNLOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM ALSO WORRIED THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK ONCE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED WHICH CAN CAUSE ME TO BECOME A VICTIM OF VEHICLE THEFT OR DAMAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,600. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CR-V HAS STARTED LOCKING THE DOORS BY ITSELF. I SHUT THE FRONT DOOR BEFORE I OPENED THE BACK DOOR TO GET MY 11 MONTH OLD BABY OUT OF THE CAR AND THE DOORS LOCKED BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR. IT WAS OVER 100 DEG F, SO I HAD TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BREAK A WINDOW TO GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE CAR. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKS. SIMPLY ALL DOORS ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY ITSELF WHILE IN MOTION. ADDITIONALLY RIGHT REAR DOOR CANT EVER BE LOCKED LEAVING ALL VALUABLE UNPROTECTED AT ALL TIMES. WHEN PRESSING LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT THE RIGHT REAR WHICH LOCKS AND QUICKLY UNLOCKS BY ITSELF. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING AND UNACCEPTABLE SINCE CANT BE SURE ANYMORE IF CAR IS LOCKED OR NOT WITHOUT CHECKING ALL THE DOORS. THIS SIMPLY LEAVES MY HONDA OPEN TO ANYBODY. HAVING SAID THAT AFTER OWNING 6 HONDAS I AM STARTING TO NOTICE DIFFERENT BRANDS MORE AND MORE SINCE NOTHING REALLY EVER GETS RECALLED AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINS FROM MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS. FIXING SUCH PROBLEMS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AS WELL. *TR

REAR LOCK INITIALLY NOT WORKING AND ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $250. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER ALL DOOR LOCKS REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AS FRONT DOOR ACTUATOR MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK FRONT DOOR ELECTRICALLY, WITH KEY OR BY MANUALLY PUSHING LOCK. ALL DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING BUT REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK MAKING LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. FRONT AND SECOND REAR DOOR ACTUATORS NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED AT SAME COST. SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY $750 TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY RIDE IN CAR WITH DOORS LOCKED OR LOCK CAR WHEN UNATTENDED. I AM SURE THE FOURTH LOCK WILL GO SOON AT THIS RATE. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE LOCKED MANUALLY AND THERE WAS NOW WAY TO STOP THE REPEATED LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING WHICH WOULD HAVE ALLOWED ME NOT TO PAY THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR / *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR STARTED TO UNLOCK AFTER LOCKING THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL HAPPEN EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN REMOTE LOCKING THE CAR. IT SEEMS THE LOCK MECHANISM SLOWING OPENS ON ITS OWN. I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT THE DOOR, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LATCH OR HANDLES. I HAVE READ ON LINE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HONDA IS NOT TAKING ANY OWNERSHIP OF THIS FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE THIS DOES HAPPEN TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE REAR DOOR WHERE I HAVE MY 3 YEAR'S OLD CHILD SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR LOCKED AND UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

A/C STOPPED WORKING. THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS OF ITS OWN ACCORD, DOES NOT RESPOND TO POWER DOOR LOCK, UNLOCKS ITSELF. *TR

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTION AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING OR REFUSING TO LOCK ON PASSENGER AND READ DOORS.. I AM TOLD THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A HIGH COST. CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH REAR DOORS FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN AS DOORS MAY LOCK OR UNLOCK AS THE CAR IS DRIVEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO MANUFACTURER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE DRIVING, EVERY TIME I GO MORE THAN 10 MPH MY LOCKS WILL MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. EVEN IF MY CAR IS ALREADY LOCKED, THE LOCKS WILL KEEP LOCKING. IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, EVERY TIME I INCREASE PAST 10 MPH THIS OCCURS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR. RECENTLY, JUNE 2013, I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I AM EXITING MY VEHICLE AND LOCK MY CAR, THE BACK LOCKS WILL UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES. THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP MY CAR LOCKED. I HAVE TRIED WITH MY KEY REMOTE AND LOCKING FROM THE INSIDE. MY CAR IS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF BEING UNLOCKED WHICH CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR

FRONT RIGHT DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF AFTER LOCKING THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVING MODE. *TR

DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM FAILURE. FIRST REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK WENT OUT-WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH ALARM KEY, NOR WITH THE INNER LOCK BUTTON SYSTEM. MUST BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED AND LOCKED. THIS CAUSED THE REAR HATCH TO NOT OPEN. WILL ONLY OPEN ONCE I HAVE MANUALLY UNLOCKED REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. NOW, THE PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT STAY LOCKED--WHETHER I LOCK IT WITH THE KEY, BUTTON, OR MANUALLY. IT SLOW OPENS BACK TO THE UNLOCKED POSITION RIGHT AFTER I LOCK IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WILL ENTER MY VEHICLE WHEN I AM NOT AROUND. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CRV STARTED TO LOCK ITSELF EVERY TIME I REACHED A CERTAIN SPEED (8-10MPH?) AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IT CAN GET BECOME REALLY ANNOYING. IT LITERALLY RE-LOCKS ITSELF EVERY TIME I HIT THAT SPEED LIMIT AND THIS IS AFTER 5 YEARS OF DRIVING IT. *TR

IN AUGUST OF 2012, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. WE HAD THE FAULTY PART REPLACED. NOW IN JUNE OF 2013, WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK. IT BEGAN BY NOT STAYING UNLOCKED. WHEN UNLOCKED THE DOOR BY ( ANY METHOD), THE LOCK WOULD ONLY STAY UNLOCKED FOR LESS THAN A SECOND BEFORE RELOCKING ON ITS OWN. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS CHANGED TO WHERE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED AS IN THE PROBLEM DOOR LOCK FROM LAST YEAR. THE DOOR CONTINUES TO TRY TO LOCK EACH TIME THE VEHICLE REACHES THE SPEED THAT THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON REAR PASSENGER DOOR BEGAN TO GIVE OUT AND RATTLE WHEN TRYING TO LOCK OR UNLOCK. IT ALSO FAILED TO UNLOCK OR LOCK AND AT TIMES LOCKED AND UNLOCKED ON ITS OWN. LOCK WAS REPLACED. JUST RECENTLY, THE DRIVER DOOR DID THE SAME AND IT WAS ALSO REPLACED. NOW THE DRIVER REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. SOMETIMES THE DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY OR WHEN I UNLOCK THE DOOR, IT QUICKLY RELOCKS. SAME RATTLING NOISE AS OTHER TWO DOORS. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH EITHER THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. WHEN USING THE KEY FOB IT WILL LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. THE SAME HAPPENS WHENEVER THE LOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE DRIVER/PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN LOCKING IT MANUALLY ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, IT WILL UNLOCK IMMEDIATELY AS WELL. *TR

A/C STOPPED WORKING. TOOK INTO MECHANIC AS I THOUGHT THE IT NEEDED RECHARGED. INSTEAD, THE A/C AND CLUTCH HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $1300. HAD TO TAKE BACK TO THE MECHANIC AS IT STILL WASN'T WORKING A 2ND DAY. THEY RECHARGED AGAIN. IT STOPPED WORKING THE 3RD DAY, AND THE COMPRESSOR RELAY WAS REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. *TR

IN MAY OF 2013 MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR ON MY 08 CR-V WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED IN SPITE OF ALL EFFORTS. I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN I LOCKED MY CAR THEN HAPPENED TO SEE THAT THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WAS STILL UNLOCKED. THE CAR ALARM "ARMED" ITSELF AS NORMAL BUT I WAS STILL ABLE TO GET IN THE BACK DOOR WITHOUT THE ALARM GOING OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR FOR $200 IN THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. NOW, NOT EVEN ONE MONTH LATER, MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKING BY ITSELF WHEN I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THE CAR MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND HOPE THAT IT WILL STAY UNLOCKED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IN. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO TEST ALL OF THE ACTUATORS, THAT IF ONE GOES OUT THAT USUALLY MEANS THE OTHER THREE AREN'T FAR BEHIND, AND APPARENTLY HE IS RIGHT. I LIVE IN A STATE THAT HAS VERY HOT SUMMERS, AND IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE IF ONE OF MY PETS ACCIDENTALLY GOT LOCKED IN MY CAR IN THE SUMMER HEAT. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE HONDA IS BIGGER THAN THIS AND SHOULD BE RECALLING ALL DOOR ACTUATORS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. ITS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR A CORPORATION LIKE HONDA, AND IF THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ERROR ON THEIR PART, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE $25-30K THAT I WOULD NORMALLY USE TO BUY A NEW HONDA AND USE IT TO BUY A GMC OR HYUNDAI. I'M ABOUT TO DROP ANOTHER $200 TO GET THIS ACTUATOR REPLACED MAKING IT $400, NOT COUNTING THE ALMOST $1800 I'VE HAD TO SPEND REPLACING THE AIR CONDITIONE

CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS USING THE KEY MANUALLY. THE DOOR LOCKS RELOCK WITHIN 1 SECOND AFTER UNLOCKING THE DOOR ELECTRONICALLY. HAVE TO HAVE HAND ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHEN UNLOCKING THE CAR OTHERWISE IT WILL RELOCK BEFORE I CAN GET THE DOOR OPEN. *TR
