LAST WEEK WHILE IN ATLANTA, GA MY HONDA CRV 2008 DOORS STARTED LOCKING WITH IN SECONDS OF ME HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. MAKING IT VERY HARD TO GET IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS ON IN PARK AND DOOR ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED AND LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WITH NOTICING LOCKING MY DOG IN THE CAR WITH NO AIR. I DO NOT HAVE THE SPARE KEY. THANKFULLY AFTER CALLING 911 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR UNLOCKED MY GETTING THE WINDOW TO ROLL DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROX 86 DEGREES AND WHO KNOWS HOW HOT IN THE CAR.FORTUNATELY, THEY CAME WITH IN 30 MIN OF THIS HAPPENING. THE DOG WAS SCARED AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND RELUCTANT TO BE IN THE CAR. THE CAR NORMALLY AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS ONCE THE CAR IS IN REVERSE. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE OVER THE WEEKEND.I AM ALSO UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE CAR MANUALLY WITH JUST THE KEY. THIS ISSUE CONCERNS ME VERY MUCH AS I TRAVEL WITH MY DOG AROUND TOWN AND HAVE ONLY THE ONE KEY. *TR

AFTER THE FACT I CALLED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD MAKE A REPORT BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. ON TOP OF THIS I WASN'T ALONE I HAD MY SMALL GRAND CHILDREN WITH ME AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DIDN'T CARE. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT A HONDA BUT I AM NOT WANTING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER DIME OF MY MONEY.

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

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.

I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN I LOCKED MY CAR THEN HAPPENED TO SEE THAT THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WAS STILL UNLOCKED. THE CAR ALARM "ARMED" ITSELF AS NORMAL BUT I WAS STILL ABLE TO GET IN THE BACK DOOR WITHOUT THE ALARM GOING OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR FOR $200 IN THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR. NOW, NOT EVEN ONE MONTH LATER, MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS LOCKING BY ITSELF WHEN I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THE CAR MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND HOPE THAT IT WILL STAY UNLOCKED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET IN. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO TEST ALL OF THE ACTUATORS, THAT IF ONE GOES OUT THAT USUALLY MEANS THE OTHER THREE AREN'T FAR BEHIND, AND APPARENTLY HE IS RIGHT. I LIVE IN A STATE THAT HAS VERY HOT SUMMERS, AND IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE IF ONE OF MY PETS ACCIDENTALLY GOT LOCKED IN MY CAR IN THE SUMMER HEAT. IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE HONDA IS BIGGER THAN THIS AND SHOULD BE RECALLING ALL DOOR ACTUATORS IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. ITS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR A CORPORATION LIKE HONDA, AND IF THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ERROR ON THEIR PART, I'M GOING TO TAKE THE $25-30K THAT I WOULD NORMALLY USE TO BUY A NEW HONDA AND USE IT TO BUY A GMC OR HYUNDAI. I'M ABOUT TO DROP ANOTHER $200 TO GET THIS ACTUATOR REPLACED MAKING IT $400, NOT COUNTING THE ALMOST $1800 I'VE HAD TO SPEND REPLACING THE AIR CONDITIONER (CLUTCH, COIL, COMPRESSOR) OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. OH, AND HONDA SAID THE A/C PARTS I HAD REPLACED ON MY CAR WEREN'T COVERED BY THE LETTER THEY SENT OUT REGARDING THE A/C PROBLEMS IN CR-VS LAST NOVEMBER, EVEN THOUGH I SENT IN ALL THE SUPPORTING PAPERWORK. GOOD JOB HONDA, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM YOU. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH EITHER THE KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. WHEN USING THE KEY FOB IT WILL LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. THE SAME HAPPENS WHENEVER THE LOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE DRIVER/PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN LOCKING IT MANUALLY ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, IT WILL UNLOCK IMMEDIATELY AS WELL. *TR
