2008 Honda CR-V Complaint Log

ON 08/26/2013 THE FRONT RIGHT DOOR ON MY 2008 HONDA CR-V STARTED TO UNLOCK ITSELF EVEN WHEN IN MOTION. IT WOULD LOCK AND THEN UNLOCK ITSELF AGAIN. I HAD THE HONDA DEALER IN OLD BRIDGE, NJ FIX THE ISSUE A FEW DAYS LATER. THEN ON 09/11/2013 ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOCK THEMSELVES IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNLOCKING. MANY TIMES DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK AT ALL MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *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

THE POWER DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. AS SOON AS YOU LOCK IT MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB, IT WILL SLOWLY UNLOCK ITSELF. THIS OCCURS IF THE CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT WILL LOCK ITSELF IF THE AUTO ACCELERATES OVER 10MPH, BUT THEN WILL AGAIN SLOWLY UNLOCK SECONDS LATER AND WILL STAY IN THE UNLOCK POSITION. THIS IN TURN DEFEATS THE SECURITY SYSTEM, MAKING IT INEFFECTIVE, ALLOWING THE PASSENGER DOOR TO BE OPENED WITHOUT SETTING OFF THE ALARM. I ATTEMPTED TO RESET THE LOCKING MECHANISM AS STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE.

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

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

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF. SINCE THEN IT WENT FROM PERIODICALLY LOCKING TO NOW IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED AT ALL. DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR HAS DONE THIS ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES. *TT

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

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

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON THREE OF MY DOORS BEGAN UNLOCKING WITHIN A WEEK OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. WHEN THE ALARM IS SET, THE DOORS INITIALLY LOCK, THEN INSTANTANEOUSLY UNLOCK FAILING TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SECURE. WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS, THE DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE AT EVERY STOP. *JB

THE CAR WAS PARKED AND MY FRIEND WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT SETTING OFF THE ALARM. I GOT INTO THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT EVEN AFTER LOCKING THE DOORS. THE FRONT PASSENGER LOCK WOULD SLOWLY OPEN AND DOES NOT STAY LATCHED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND BY THE AMOUNT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IS NOT UNIQUE TO MYSELF. OF COURSE IT HAPPENED THE MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER POWER DOOR LOCK REMAINS IN THE LOCKED POSITION AT ALL TIMES. ANY ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, EITHER MANUALLY OR REMOTELY, ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS AT MOST. THEN THE DOOR IS RELOCKED ELECTRICALLY AND CAN'T BE OPENED FROM NEITHER THE INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE. THE DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED BY QUICKLY PULLING THE DOOR LATCH IN BETWEEN AN UNLOCK COMMAND AND THE AUTOMATIC RESET OF THE LOCK. SINCE THE TIME OF THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ISSUE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK HAS BEGUN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *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

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

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

THE AIR COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $700. THERES WAS NOT EVEN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR YET WHEN THIS HAD TO BE DONE. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING IT OR IN PARK. HAD TO PAY $160.00 TO HAVE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED IN JULY 2013. NOW THE REAR DOORS ARE STARTING TO MAKING A STRANGE SOUND WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THE DOORS. THIS IS THE SOUND THE CAME BEFORE THE LOCKS ACTUALLY STARTED TO MALFUNCTION ON THE FRONT DOOR. WHY ISN'T HONDA BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE ACTUATOR PROBLEMS? *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

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

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

WHILE DRIVING I SAW ALL MY DOOR GETTING UNLOCKED BY ITSELF. SINCE THAN I HAVE THIS ISSUE. ALL DOOR LOCKS RANDOMLY LOCK/UNLOCK AND WITH THE KIDS ON BACK THIS IS NOT SAFE. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA BUT FLATLY TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW ANY ISSUE AND SINCE IT IS OVER 36000 MILE, NO HELP. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTING LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ERRATICALLY. IT HAS STEADILY BECOME WORSE AND NOW WILL NOT LOCK UNLESS YOU CLICK THE DOOR LOCKER OVER AND OVER AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED ALONG WITH AN AMOUNT OF $230 TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND MANY, MANY OTHER YEAR MODELS. CLEARLY THIS IS A PROBLEM!! I HOPE THAT HONDA WILL STEP UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT ALTHOUGH I DID READ ABOUT CHILDREN BEING LOCKED IN THE CAR AFTER BEING BUCKLED IN AND THE PARENT WENT TO GET IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T. I ALSO FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST THEM. IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO MAKE A RECALL!! *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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 LINE WITH THE RECENT MAZDA RECALL FOR YELLOW SAC SPIDERS FOUND IN THE EVAC CANISTERS, MY HONDA CR-V HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS AFFECTED HONDA ACCORDS IN THE PAST BECAUSE HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON INSTALLING A SPECIAL FILTER FOR HONDA ACCORDS TO PREVENT THE SPIDERS FROM ENTERING. HOWEVER, NO SUCH BULLETIN OR PART EXISTS FOR THE HONDA CR-V. AS SUCH, AFTER PAYING NEARLY $100 AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND REMOVE THE SPIDERS, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ADD A FILTER TO PREVENT SPIDER RE-ENTRY. AT THE MINIMUM, THESE SPIDERS WITH THEIR RESULTANT WEBS CAN SEVERELY LIMIT GAS MILEAGE. AT THE WORST, A FIRE OR ENGINE FAILURE CAN RESULT. I PETITION THAT HONDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR HONDA CR-V'S AND COVER THE LABOR AND PARTS COSTS FOR PLACING A SPECIALIZED FILTER TO PREVENT SPIDER RE-ENTRY. *TR

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

APPROX 17-20 MPH CAR HAS DIFFICULTY GETTING TO NEXT GEAR, LOSSES POWER. VERY SCARY! *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

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

STARTED EXPERIENCING DOOR LOCK FAILURE A FEW MONTHS AGO. (~56,000 MILES) I NOTICED DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK IS NOT STAYING LOCKED, CAR LOCKS CONTINUALLY TRY TO LOCK THEMSELVES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 5-10 MPH. DOOR LOCKS KEEP ATTEMPTING TO LOCK, DRIVING ME CRAZY. NOT TO MENTION A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH, THE REAR HATCH DOOR UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS SOON AS THE DOOR WAS LOCKED, IT WOULD SLOWLY UNLOCK. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,300.

THE DRIVER DOOR HAS STARTED LOCKING ON OWN. I STOPPED TO GET GAS ON A SATURDAY EVENING AND I GOT OUT TO PAY AT THE PUMP, ONLY TO FIND MY CAR HAD LOCKED ITSELF. MY PURSE AND CELL PHONE WAS INSIDE. LUCKILY THE GAS STATION HAD AN ATTENDANT WHO WAS KIND ENOUGH TO LET ME USE HIS PHONE. I WAS 60 MILES FROM HOME. I COULD NOT FIND A LOCKSMITH TO COME OPEN IT UP ON A SATURDAY EVENING. SO, NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR IN THE CAR, I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ON MY BACK DOOR BECAUSE I HAD TO ASK A NEIGHBOR TO BREAK IN MY HOUSE TO GET THE SPARE KEY, THEN DRIVE 120 MILES ROUND TRIP TO BRING IT TO ME. EVEN WITH THE SPARE KEY, IT WAS A STRUGGLE TO GET THE DOOR TO OPEN BECAUSE IT WOULD EITHER NOT UNLOCK OR IMMEDIATELY RE-LOCK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE-AS AFTER ALL THIS ORDEAL TO GET HOME, THE CAR WOULD THEN NOT UNLOCK TO LET ME OUT. *TR

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

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
