THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE DOOR MAKES A LOUD SOUND AS IT CYCLES BETWEEN LOCK AND UNLOCK, EVERY TIME THE DOORS ARE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT LOCK. SOMETIMES IT WILL LOCK. SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO UNLOCK. IT MAKES AWFUL NOISES EVERY TIME I LOCK THE DOORS. THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS DOING THE SAME. HONDA CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR RECENTLY FOR FREE WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSES TO COVER THE COST OF THE MALFUNCTIONING PASSENGER SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR WHICH ALSO PRESENTS A HAZARD IF ALL LOCKS DO NOT UNLOCK EASILY DURING AN EMERGENCY. HONDA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2015 EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO COVER THESE. BUT, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER LOCKS AT THE TIME SO NO REPAIRS WAS NEEDED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE HONDA CR-V. IF THEY COVER REPLACEMENT FOR ONE, THEY SHOULD COVER REPLACEMENT FOR THE OTHER FOR SAFETY.
IN 2008 HONDA CR-V, I HAVE NOTICED SINCE JULY 2016, THAT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS (FRONT AND REAR) AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO, WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE USING KEY AND NO MANUAL LOCK OPTION IS AVAILABLE. DISCUSSED THIS PROBLE M WITH HONDA DEALER A FEW TIMES AND I WAS IN…

IN 2008 HONDA CR-V, I HAVE NOTICED SINCE JULY 2016, THAT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS (FRONT AND REAR) AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO, WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE USING KEY AND NO MANUAL LOCK OPTION IS AVAILABLE. DISCUSSED THIS PROBLE M WITH HONDA DEALER A FEW TIMES AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PROBLEM. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. IN BEGINNING OF 2015, AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA DEALER AND AT THAT TIME ONLY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS COVERED (NOT OTHER THREE DOOR LOCKS). DEALER IS STATING THAT I MUST PAY FOR DIAGONISIS AND REPAIRS. ITEM 3 OF LETTER I RECEIVED FROM HONDA IN 2015 DID NOT SPECIFICALLY STATES: "IF A DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON YOUR CR-V MALFUNCTIONS, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPAIRS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRENTY WITHOUT CHARGE AT AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER..." THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN SINCE MY ABILITY TO LOCK THE CAR AT ALL TIMES (WHEN REQUIRED) IS COMPROMISED DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING PARTS INSTALLED IN 2008 HONDA CR-V.
REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS BY ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING LOCKED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE LOCKED POSITION. HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THESE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND ISSUED A "PRODUCT UPDATE" ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY 3 ADDITIONAL YEARS ON ALL OTHER DOORS.

HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THESE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND ISSUED A "PRODUCT UPDATE" ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY 3 ADDITIONAL YEARS ON ALL OTHER DOORS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED AND HONDA WILL NO LONGER REPLACE DEFECTIVE LOCKS ON ANY DOORS OTHER THAN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. ALL DOOR LOCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY DON'T ALL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME OR WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU."
