2008 Honda CR-V

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ERRONEOUSLY UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND AT APPROXIMATELY 7 MPH THE DOOR WOULD ERRONEOUSLY LOCK. ONCE THE SPEED WAS INCREASED PAST 20 MPH THE DOOR WOULD AGAIN UNLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT PREVIOUSLY THE DEFECTED HAD OCCURRED ON THE THREE ADDITIONAL DOORS AND THE ACTUATORS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,559. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN APRIL BY AMERICAN HONDA AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. UPDATED 06/03/2014 *JS

EVERY TIME WE TRY DRIVE ABOVE 9 MPH, THE DOOR TRIES TO LOCK, EVEN IF ITS ALREADY LOCK. IN A PARKING LOT IT KEEPS TRYING TO LOCK IF WE GO BELOW AND ABOVE 9MPH. WE HAVE DISABLED THE AUTO LOCK AND AUTO UNLOCK FEATURES NOW THE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER WON'T STAY LOCKED. EVER. IF YOU USE THE REMOTE, MASTER KEY, OR PHYSICALLY TRY TO LOCK THAT DOOR, IT UNLOCKS ITSELF WITHIN A SECOND. VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND IS USED TO TRANSPORT TWO TODDLERS. THE DOOR ALSO WON'T OPEN NOW SO WE CAN'T ENGAGE CHILD LOCK. THE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HONDA ACTUATORS. DEALERS CHARGE 400-700 FOR ONE. OUR OTHER CAR, A HONDA PILOT HAD TO HAVE ALL 4 REPLACED LAST YEAR, AND 1 ALREADY STOPPED WORKING. CHECK OUT YOUTUBE AND OTHER FORUMS. THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CRV. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK MALFUNCTIONED, LEAVING THE DOOR UNSECURED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT WHEN PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD CAUSED BY THE DOORS ATTEMPTING TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT HAD ALSO OCCURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

ANOTHER DOOR LOCK FAILURE. KEY WOULD NOT UNLOCK DOOR. PASSENGER DOOR LOCK STICKING AND LOCKING BY ITSELF. GOT LOCKED OUT OF THE CAR WHEN THE BATTERY DIED AND THE KEY REMOTE WOULD NOT WORK WITH NO POWER. I HAD 3 SETS OF KEYS IN MY HAND BUT COULD NOT GET IN MY CAR. HAD TO REPLACE THE KEY CYLINDER, CABLE, AND BOTH FRONT LATCH ASSEMBLIES AT A COST OF OVER $700. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS UNTIL HONDA ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE LOCK ASSEMBLIES? IF HONDA IS READING THIS, I WILL NOT DO FUTURE BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FOR THE REAR HATCH, FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR ERRONEOUSLY ENGAGED AND DISENGAGED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

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

MY 2008 HONDA CRV IN 2010 BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DOOR LOCK AND THEN THE HATCH LOCK. WHEN I PUT THE REAR DOOR LOCK INTO CHILD SAFETY MODE AND TOOK IT OFF CHILD SAFETY MODE, THE DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK. IT KEPT LOCKING AND I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE LOCK BUTTON IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA CAR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES AND IT WOULD COST ME $380 TO REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGHT THE PART I WAS TOLD WAS ACTUALLY ONLY $80 DOLLARS. TO ME AND TO EVERYONE ELSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IF IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES. I REFUSED THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. LATER IN A FEW WEEKS, MY HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNLESS THE DEFECTIVE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS ALSO UNLOCKED. NOW, IT IS 2014 AND AS OF FRIDAY, 2/28/14, ALL MY LOCKS ARE NOW LOCKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I USED MY AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK ON MY KEY FOB. I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO MY CAR UNLESS I'M QUICK ABOUT IT BEFORE IT LOCKS ON ME AGAIN. THEN WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS, BEFORE I CAN EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, ALL THE LOCKS LOCK UP AGAIN WITHOUT MY HAVING DONE ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THESE DEFECTS. HERE IS THE LINK TO ARFC.ORG WHICH HAS A LIST OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVING THE SAME DEFECTIVE ISSUES: HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2008/HONDA/CR-V/LATCHES_LOCKS_LINKAGES/PROBLEM.ASPX. IS IT NECESSARY FOR HONDA DRIVER OR THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER GO TO THEIR GRAVE UNTIL THIS DEFECT IS ADDRESSED? I URGE THE NHTSA BOARD TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND TAKE ACTION TO MAKE HONDA SET A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT SO THAT HONDA CRV AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLE OWNERS ARE SAFER ON THE ROAD. *TR
