2008 Honda CR-V

LOCK ON RIGHT FRONT DOOR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. IT STARTED BY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY ITSELF. NOW IT IS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND EVERY TIME I LOCK OR UNLOCK IT. I HAVE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT GETTING STUCK IN THE CAR WHEN IT DECIDED TO LOCK AND "NOT" UNLOCK. I HAVE BEEN ASSISTING A 92 YEAR OLD WOMEN. IMAGINE IF SHE WAS STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF A LOCKING PROBLEM OR IMAGINE A CHILD STUCK IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. THANK YOU!

IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR (2013), THE 2008 HONDA CRV-EX THAT I PURCHASE CERTIFIED, PRE-OWNED IN OCTOBER 2012, BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE LOCKS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AND LOCK THEMSELVES EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. THE PROBLEM STOPPED AFTER A FEW DAYS, THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, STARTED OCCURRING AGAIN. BEFORE I CALLED TO HAVE IT CHECKED, IT STOPPED, BUT THEN I WOULD HEAR A SQUEALING SOUND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE DOORS WERE LOCKED UPON ACCELERATION. ALL OF THESE ISSUES STOPPED, BUT THEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO (JULY 2013), BOTH DOORS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTED RELOCKING THEMSELVES WITHIN 3 SECONDS OF BEING UNLOCKED BY EITHER THE KEY FOB OR FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THEY CANNOT BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED MANUALLY, EVEN WITH AUTO LOCK OFF. THEY ALSO CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE BY THE PASSENGER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILD, WHO WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN HIS DOOR AND EXIT IMMEDIATELY IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) LIGHT IS ON PERMANENTLY ON MY DASHBOARD. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER TECHNICIAN I SPOKE WITH, THIS MEANS THE TPMS HAS STOPPED COMMUNICATING WITH THE SENSORS ON AT LEAST ONE OF MY TIRES. THIS IS A HAZARD IN THAT I COULD HAVE DANGEROUSLY LOW TIRE PRESSURE AND WOULD NOT KNOW IT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A BLOW OUT AT HIGH FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS SAME TECHNICIAN REPORTED HE HAS SEEN "QUITE A FEW" 2007 AND 2008 CRVS COMING IN WITH THIS ISSUE. I CAN WORK AROUND THIS ISSUE BY FREQUENTLY CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE MYSELF, BUT IT REMAINS THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, WHEN I PAID FOR A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE DOING IT FOR ME. *TR

RIGHT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT STAY UNLOCKED IN THE BEGINNING. SINCE THEN, ALL DOORS EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S UNLOCK SECONDS AFTER THEY ARE COMMANDED TO LOCK, THIS IS WITH OR WITHOUT THE CAR RUNNING, DRIVERS MASTER SWITCH, FOB OR AUTO LOCK, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THEY WON'T STAY LOCKED. NO SECURITY HERE. I HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS SINCE THE EARLY 80'S. FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD LIKE THIS. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

ON MARCH 21, 2012, I TOOK MY2008 HONDA CRV FOR SERVICE .MY POWER DOOR LOCKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING.. THEY WOULD CONSTANTLY LOCK AND UN LOCK AS I WAS DRIVING. THEY WOULD BE CLICKING LOCK AND UNLOCK , DEALER CLAIMED I NEEDED AN ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY AT THE COST OF APP. $250. I NATURALLY HAD IT REPAIRED AS IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, SINCE MY SMALL GRANDSONS ARE IN THE BACK. ON JULY 10, 2013 I RETURNED WITH THE IDENTICAL DOOR LOCK PROBLEM. SINCE I HAD DRIVEN MORE THAN 12,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST REPAIR , THIS WAS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER EXPRESSING MY DISSATISFACTION, THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND HONDA AGREED TO PAY HALF OF REPAIR COSTS. MY COST -$87.00. SINCE IT WAS A MAJOR SAFETYCONCERN FOR ME, I AGREED. GUESS WHAT? TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS RE OCCURRED. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CLICKING OPEN AND CLOSED.WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT'S PROBABLY AN UNDERLYING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I AM RELUCTANT TO SPEND ANYMORE ON THIS APPARENTLY UNFIXABLE ISSUE, BUT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUNG CHILDREN AND INFANTS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE IN THE BACKSEAT. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA PRESSURE HONDA MOTORS TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. *TR

THE VEHICLES BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE, IT THE FRONT ROTORS MOSTLY, THEY DETERIORATE VERY QUICKLY ALONG WITH THE HIGH QUALITY BRAKE PADS. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AT 70,000 AND THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING DAMAGED . THERE HAS BEEN AN UNSETTLING VIBRATION IN THE BRAKING/STEERING SYSTEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR . I AM CONVINCED THAT HONDA NO LONGER MAKES QUALITY VEHICLES AND THE SOONER THEY STOP MAKING CARS THE BETTER. AT 25,000 MILES WE HAD THE AC CLUTCH START TO SLIP ON US WHILE WE WERE IN ABOUT 120'F TEMPS IN BON OUR WAY TO BULLHEAD CITY. WE ARRIVED COMPLETELY SOAKED IN SWEAT AND WITH THE BEGINNING STAGES OF CHAPPED LIPS FROM THE HOT AIR BLOWING FROM THE AC. WE HAD AN AIR LEAK IN THE MOON ROOF SINCE WE BOUGHT IT, ALL HONDA DID WAS MAKE US WASTE OUR TIME WHILE THE MICKEY MOUSED THE SEAL, ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERS AFTER THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT ,IT STARTED MAKING THE WHISTLE AGAIN AFTER I OPENED AND CLOSED IT. I HAD GREASE PRINTS ALL OVER THE HEAD LINER FROM THAT EXPERIENCE.THE LEATHER ARM REST STARTED BUBBLING AND PEELING ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THE PURCHASE, IT LOOKS HORRIBLE . I HAVE HAD BETTER USED CARS THEN THIS. I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT HONDA EXCEPT IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FAMILIES LIFE AND VALUE WHAT YOU BUY WITH YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY . THEN DON'T EVER EVER BUY A HONDA. THEY DESERVE TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS AND BE SUED BY EVERY PERSON THAT EVER BOUGHT FROM THEM . *TR

ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING MY 2008 HONDA CRV AND THE DOORS LOCK, THEY BEGIN TO UNLOCK AND SLOWLY RE-LOCK. VERY OFTEN IT CONTINUES TO UNLOCK AND RE-LOCK FOR MOST OF THE TRIP BEFORE REMAINING LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY SINCE I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WHO RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOORS UNLOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM ALSO WORRIED THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK ONCE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED WHICH CAN CAUSE ME TO BECOME A VICTIM OF VEHICLE THEFT OR DAMAGE. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKS. SIMPLY ALL DOORS ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY ITSELF WHILE IN MOTION. ADDITIONALLY RIGHT REAR DOOR CANT EVER BE LOCKED LEAVING ALL VALUABLE UNPROTECTED AT ALL TIMES. WHEN PRESSING LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT THE RIGHT REAR WHICH LOCKS AND QUICKLY UNLOCKS BY ITSELF. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING AND UNACCEPTABLE SINCE CANT BE SURE ANYMORE IF CAR IS LOCKED OR NOT WITHOUT CHECKING ALL THE DOORS. THIS SIMPLY LEAVES MY HONDA OPEN TO ANYBODY. HAVING SAID THAT AFTER OWNING 6 HONDAS I AM STARTING TO NOTICE DIFFERENT BRANDS MORE AND MORE SINCE NOTHING REALLY EVER GETS RECALLED AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINS FROM MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS. FIXING SUCH PROBLEMS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AS WELL. *TR

MY 2008 HONDA CR-V HAS STARTED LOCKING THE DOORS BY ITSELF. I SHUT THE FRONT DOOR BEFORE I OPENED THE BACK DOOR TO GET MY 11 MONTH OLD BABY OUT OF THE CAR AND THE DOORS LOCKED BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR. IT WAS OVER 100 DEG F, SO I HAD TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BREAK A WINDOW TO GET MY CHILD OUT OF THE CAR. *TR
