2008 Honda CR-V

VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND REPAIRED. AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE SRS SYSTEM HAS THREE FAULTS THE BERNADI HONDA SAID WERE RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSED TO REPAIR SYSTEM SAYING IT WAS MAINTENENCE. 33-10 OPEN IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FIRST INFLATOR. E1-11 LEFT FRONT AIRBAG AND LEFT SEAT BELT TENSIONER STOPPED DEPLOYMENT. F1-11 DRIVER'S AIRBAG AND OR DRIVER'S SEAT BELT TENIONER DEPLOYED. *JS

THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WILL NOT ALWAYS STAY LOCKED. THE LOCK WILL ATTEMPT TO LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ABOVE 10MPH. AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN TO BELOW 10MPH, ALL LOCKS IN THE CAR WILL ATTEMPT TO LOCK AGAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE SPEED GETS ABOVE 10MPH. THE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS STAY LOCKED AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND THE LOCKS ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND TURNED OFF. *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

THE 2008 CRV PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHEN OVER 40 MPH. THERE WERE 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS DONE RECENTLY, AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT. IT TAKES CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I DISAGREE AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA CRV. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

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
