Door actuators ( Front passenger side and Back driver side) does not work. It bothers me by locking and unlocking.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the rear passenger's side door was making locking sounds unintendedly and had failed to unlock as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the door actuator was replaced, and the door was repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that front passenger's side door and the tailgate had failed to unlock as needed. The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under an unknown recall because the recall had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

Vehicle door locks acting up off & on for several years. Sometimes not unlocking needing to insert key to unlock, other times passenger door not locking when using fob and doors locking & unlocking while driving. Now most recently cannot open drivers door from inside. It can be opened from the outside. This is very dangerous if you needed to get out of car quickly, not to mention the inconvenience of crawling over the center console to get out of passenger door. I am [XXX] and will never buy another Honda as I’ve read about the problems with this. Too bad because I really like my crv.

Door locks began opening and closing on their own while I was driving. I have replaced battery twice since this began. The auto repair place and AAA were unable to locate a cause for the electrical problem. The car will not stay locked. I was robbed of my personal property while it was parked. It is not really safe to drive since I cannot secure myself in it.

When locking the door, there is a loud noise. I was told the lock actuator is bad and needs to be replaced (driver rear). I purchased this vehicle in October 2022 and the warranty is no longer valid. Prior to, the passenger front lock actuator had to be replaced. The vehicle is available to be inspected upon request

Auto door locking system attempts to lock all four doors every time the vehicle drops below 10 miles per hour and then goes above 10 mph. All four doors can be manually locked and show they are locked when the motion auto lock system thinks one or more are not locked and attempts to lock after 10 miles per hour. This continues for every trip.

Driver door actuator started jamming late July. Door would only look after pressing the lock button from the passenger side. It eventually stopped locking that way and would only lock after hitting the lock button 8+ times on the driver side. Yes it is available for inspection upon request. My own safety is put at risk due to this issue because my doors are unable to lock. As a young woman, who doesn't have access to a garage and sometimes doesn't get home till late, having doors that are completely unable to lock due to a known system issue from Honda makes me uneasy. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. No the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, etc... No, the car provided no warning lamps, messages or any other symptoms of the issue. Issues first appeared in late July and have drastically gotten worse since then.

My vehicle had the recall of the door locks completed but it has started the same problems again. Doors locking and unlocking at random while driving. Door unlocking once I have got out of the vehicle at a store and I have no idea for how long. Front and Back doors on the driver side is now making a grinding and loud popping noise when locking/unlocking the doors. The back gate tells me it is ajar but is not. The doors may or may not let you out of the car once you have arrived at your destination and placed the vehicle in park. The unlock button does not seem to help this problem. You must move the gear shifter back and forth and finally you can exit the vehicle. SAFETY ISSUE. Another recall needs to done for this issue.

The door lock actuators are failing, causing the doors to lock or unlock almost every time I speed up from a stop. The passenger door defaults to lock almost at all times, when unlocked it will relock within 3 seconds.

While driving my front passenger door lock will start unlocking and relocking on my 2008 Honda CRV. I have been told the door locking actuator has failed. While at a stop light my doors became unlocked and I did not know it, and someone opened my passenger door. I was able to drive off but this is a huge safety issue. Also I can lock my doors after exiting vehicle and randomly they will unlock. My car is now left vulnerable to theft. I contacted my local dealership and was told my driver door actuator was replaced under a recall, but not the others. I was told if I want the other defective ones replaced I must pay hundreds of dollars for each. I am an older woman and am afraid to drive my car without working door locks. I do not feel safe and anyone/anything in my car is not safe.

Door lock actuators failing, makes a loud buzzing noise when locking and sometimes locks and unlocks on its own when I’m driving. There are no recalls coming up, however I was informed of a class action lawsuit against Honda regarding the door lock issues with 2007-2011 Honda CRV’s.

This did not happen due to an accident. When I park my car and lock the car the passenger door in the front does not stay locked. I have manually locked it and the latch is moving over I believe this is called the Aactuator. I believe there has been a recall and now I see no recalls. This is unsafe for me and it does need to be fixed as it is a issue with how they made the vehicle.

Approximately six months to one year ago, a screeching sound was audible anytime I would lock or unlock the doors in my 2008 Honda CR-V. I researched the issue and found out that this vehicle has a known problem with its actuators, and that Honda was successfully sued in 2015 resulting in an extension of the warranty on the part. I inherited this vehicle from my grandmother, and I found out from Honda that she did in fact have the part replaced in 2015, yet it has started to fail again, and Honda is refusing to fix it. The problem is that this failure causes the doors to automatically relock themselves after being unlocked. Obviously, this creates a serious safety concern should it become necessary to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency. I don't believe it should be the owners responsibility to pay to have this part replaced AGAIN after Honda replaced their defective part with an equally defective one.

A lot smog come out from the wood the A/C stop working

When attempting to lock the doors with either the key fob or from inside the vehicle, the back door locks stay open. The front passenger door also makes a loud buzzing noise but stays locked. This is an issue when the auto lock function kicks in after every stop sign or red traffic light. I don’t want to leave the car in public spaces for fear of someone entering my vehicle unbeknownst to me. The original vehicle owner had no recollection of any correspondence, by mail or otherwise, related to the 2007-2011 Honda C-RV recalls for this issue.

My door lock actuator have been malfunctioning in right rear passenger,left passenger and driver sides. It makes a buzzing and gun shooting sound. Recently my door ajar alert has been coming on if I slightly touch driver door. My alarm is also starting go go off by itself due to the door lock actuators malfunctioning.

Front passenger door unlock while driving and makes a weird noise while driving i feel unsafe driving with the noise and the door being unlock, first it started unlocking and locking then it get worse within a few days, I feel unsafe driving with my child in the vehicle while its like this

THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I HAD A CHILD IN MY CARE WHEN AT ONE TIME THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL. THANKFULLY ONE WINDOW WAS DOWN AND ALLOWED ME TO CLIMB THROUGH AND GET TO THE BABY. I HAD TO CLIMB THROUGH TO THE BACK AND MANUALLY GET THE BACK HATCH TO OPEN. THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THEY WILL UNLOCK NOW BUT THE REAR DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THE LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK AS I AM DRIVING AND HAVE A HORRIBLE BUZZING NOISE. THESE LOCKS ARE NOT SAFE!
