THE CAR KEPT SAYING A DOOR WAS OPENED WHEN IT WASN'T AND THEN BECAUSE OF THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T LOCK WHEN I WAS IN IT AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T GO OFF. THEN, IT JUST STOPPED HAPPENING. THEN ON 1/14, EVERY TIME I USED THE BRAKE WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD GO ON. AND THEN WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE THE DOORS WOULD LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. THIS ALL BEGAN THE WEEK AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET NEW TIRES (WHERE THEY RIPPED ME OFF BY CHARGING ME $1,300 TO REPLACE 4 TIRES!). VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

THE LOCKS ON THE HONDA CR-V 2008 ARE DEFECTIVE AND CAN POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE LOCKS ON THE DOOR LOCK AT WILL, WON'T UNLOCK WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THEM, AND LOCK WHILE I'M DRIVING AND/OR PUTTING THE REVERSE. PASSENGERS CANNOT GET OUT OF THE CAR, EVEN AFTER I PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON BOTH THE DOOR AND THE KEY. I FEAR THAT MY TODDLER IS GOING TO GET LOCKED INTO THE VEHICLE AND/OR TRAPPED IN IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT STARTED JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND MANY OTHER HONDA CR-V OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE, YET HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE DEFECTIVE LOCKS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND URGE THEM TO RECALL THESE LOCKS. *TR

EVERY TIME THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED EITHER BY THE SWITCH OR MANUALLY, IT IMMEDIATELY RE-LOCKS ITSELF MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. TO OPEN THE DOOR, YOU MUST KNOW TO BE HOLDING ON THE HANDLE AND PULL IT IN THE SPLIT SECOND AFTER YOU ACTIVATE THE UN-LOCK BUTTON. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN A SITUATION WHERE THE PASSENGER HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AS IN CASE OF A FIRE, SUBMERGING IN WATER OR AFTER A WRECK. I AM FRIGHTENED TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ONE OF THESE CASES AND A CHILD OR UNSUSPECTING ADULT WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT GET OUT. OF COURSE, THERE ARE MANY OTHER SCENARIOS WHERE THE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT IN A HURRY AND THIS DEFECTIVE LOCKING MECHANISM WOULD PREVENT THEIR ESCAPE. *TR
