I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOCKS ON MY 2008 HONDA CRV. IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. IT INITIALLY WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED NO RECALLS. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THEN ABOUT ANOTHER 6 MONTHS IT QUIT AGAIN. (WEATHER RELATED?). NOW THAT LOCK STAYS LOCKED ALL THE TIME. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO UNLOCK IT...NOT EVEN MANUALLY. ABOUT A YEAR LATER THE REAR PASSENGER LOCK WASN'T LOCKING CORRECTLY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. NOW THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE LOCK DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT SOUNDS LIKE A MACHINE GUN GOING OFF EVERYTIME THE CAR HITS THE 10 MPH. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ADVISED NO RECALLS. I WAS QUOTED $800.00 TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED. (LOCK ACTUATORS?) I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING ONLY TO MY CAR. BY THE LOCKS NOT WORKING IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND KIDS. I HAVE TEENAGE DAUGHTERS AND A GRANDDAUGHTER. IT THEY ENCOUNTER ANY DANGER AND ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NOW MY GRANDDAUGHTER WONT RIDE IN THE CAR BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A MACHINE GUN. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE LOCK. I CAN'T REALLY SUBMIT ANY PICTURES BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT SHOW THE ISSUES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND KNOW THE HISTORY. THIS IS MY 2ND HONDA CRV AND I LOVED THEM UNTIL NOW. I CANT BELIEVE I AM THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE.
