2008 Honda CR-V

I WAS LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE AND USED MY KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS. I TRIED TO LIFT THE REAR DOOR (HATCH-BACK) TO LOAD GROCERIES. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I TESTED ALL MY DOORS AND FOUND THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK EITHER USING THE KEY FOB. I TRIED BOTH DOORS MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT ANY LUCK. ONCE INSIDE THE CAR (THROUGH THE DRIVER'S DOOR) I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. I COULDN'T GET IT UNLOCKED. THE LOCK WAS STUCK FAST. I COULD NOT ENTER OR EXIT OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. (I DID NOT CLIMB OVER THE SEATS TO TRY AND EXIT OUT THE BACK HATCH DOOR.) THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. I TRIED DAILY OVER THE NEXT WEEK TO ENTER OR EXIT OUT THOSE 2 DOORS. I COULDN'T BUDGE EITHER ONE. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO GET THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE REAR DOOR TO OPEN. I WAS TOLD THE ACTUATOR ON THE FRONT DOOR WAS GOING OUT. THE REAR DOOR WAS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. IT WILL COST ME $450 TO FIX THE TWO PARTS. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STARTING LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ERRATICALLY. IT HAS STEADILY BECOME WORSE AND NOW WILL NOT LOCK UNLESS YOU CLICK THE DOOR LOCKER OVER AND OVER AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM EVERY TIME I TAKE THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED ALONG WITH AN AMOUNT OF $230 TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND MANY, MANY OTHER YEAR MODELS. CLEARLY THIS IS A PROBLEM!! I HOPE THAT HONDA WILL STEP UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT ALTHOUGH I DID READ ABOUT CHILDREN BEING LOCKED IN THE CAR AFTER BEING BUCKLED IN AND THE PARENT WENT TO GET IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T. I ALSO FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST THEM. IT IS TIME FOR HONDA TO MAKE A RECALL!! *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT INVOLVED THE BACK GATE WHICH WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE KEY FOB. I TRIED LOCKING/UNLOCKING FROM THE DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR CONTROLS AND ALSO WITH THE KEY FOB. ATTEMPTS WERE MADE WITH THE CAR RUNNING, IGNITION TURNED TO ACCESSORY, AND ALSO WITH THE CAR TURNED OFF. NOTHING CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS PERSISTED INTO THE NEXT DAY WHEN IT STARTED WORKING WITHOUT ANY PARTICULAR INTERVENTION BEYOND MY PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS. THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED A FEW DAYS LATER, ONLY NOW IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. I LOCK THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB, BUT THE PASSENGER DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED. THE SAME IS TRUE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LOCK USING THE SWITCH ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. LIKE OTHERS WHO HAVE POSTED ON THIS SITE, THIS CAR ALSO ATTEMPTS TO LOCK/UNLOCK AT UNEXPECTED TIMES WELL ABOVE THE USUAL SPEED WHERE THE AUTOMATIC LOCK NORMALLY OPERATES. THIS IS A SAFETY AND SECURITY RISK. MY YOUNG PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK IF THE LOCKS DISENGAGE. MY PROPERTY IS NOT SECURE IF THE LOCKS ARE NOT RELIABLE. MY PERSONAL SAFETY IS AT RISK IF MY ALARM SYSTEM FAILS TO SECURE ALL DOORS. IT IS UNSETTLING TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCE OF BEING UNEXPECTEDLY TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. IT IS EQUALLY TROUBLESOME TO DRIVE THE CAR NOT KNOWING IF MY CHILDREN AND I MAY BECOME LOCKED OUT IN THE DARK, IN A PARKING DECK, OR IN A REMOTE LOCATION DURING TRAVEL. REPAIRING EACH LOCK AS IT FAILS IS A RISKY GAMBLE, BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE ACTUATORS (APPROX $250 X 5 DOORS) ON EVERY DOOR AS A PREEMPTIVE REPAIR, EITHER. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2007. IT IS A 2008 HONDA CR-V 5DR 2WD EX. A COUPLE/FEW YEARS BACK, THE LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME TWO, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE REAR DOOR. I WOULD PUSH THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY, AND THE OTHER 3 DOORS WOULD UNLOCK, BUT THOSE 2 WOULD NOT. I TRIED USING THE UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTONS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND AFTER HITTING THE LOCK BUTTON FIRST AND THEN UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD WORK AND THOSE 2 DOORS WOULD EVENTUALLY UNLOCK. AND THEN SOMETIMES ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WOULD START UNLOCKING AGAIN USING THE KEY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ANNOYANCE FOR THE PAST 2-3 YEARS. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. PROBABLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THEY FINALLY STOPPED COMPLETELY. THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AT ALL USING THE KEY OR THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE PASSENGER ONE, OF COURSE, I CAN MANUALLY UNLOCK FROM THE INSIDE IF NEEDED. BUT THE REAR I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF OPENING THAT DOOR. COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!!! IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE PAIN TO NOT HAVE THAT STORAGE AREA. I HAVE HAD TO LOWER THE BACK SEATS TO PUT ANYTHING IN THERE. IT ALSO CAUSED ME TO INCUR DAMAGE TO MY CAR THIS YEAR. I HAD A FLAT AND NEEDED THE SPARE TIRE. WELL, I HAD TO CLIMB THROUGH THE DOORS INTO THE BACK WHERE MY SPARE WAS, ONLY TO REALIZE YOU COULDN'T GET TO THE SPARE BECAUSE THE REAR DOOR WAS IN THE WAY. SO I HAD TO RIP THE BACK FLAP TO GET TO THE TIRE. SO THAT WILL COST ME MONEY TO FIX. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE DEALER TELLING ME EACH ACTUATOR WILL COST OVER $300 TO GET REPLACED. AFTER RESEARCHING TRYING TO FIND THIS ACTUATOR PART, I CAME ACROSS THE LAWSUIT AND MANY MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND PAY FOR FIXING THEIR PROBLEM!!! *TR
