Electrical system, Nov 7, 2014
I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM ON 8/21/14. AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN DRIVE, THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE CAR STARTED MOVING, AS THEY NORMALLY DO. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER I HAD TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN THE CAR STARTED MOVING, THE REAR DOOR LOCKS CYCLED AGAIN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR WOULD START TO MOVE AGAIN FROM A STOP. I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND EXITED THE CAR, LOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE HONDA REMOTE. A SECOND AFTER THE DOORS LOCKED, I HEARD A FAINT CLICK FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AS IF SOMEONE HAD OPERATED THE LOCK BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE. I CHECKED THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE REAR DOOR OPENED. I CHECKED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND IT WAS STILL LOCKED. I HIT THE DOOR LOCKS AGAIN WITH THE KEY REMOTE AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS PHYSICALLY LOCKED. WHEN I CAME OUT IN THE MORNING, I CHECKED THE DOOR, AND FOUND IT UNLOCKED. I CHECKED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND IT WAS STILL LOCKED. THIS STARTED AS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT IS NOW APPROACHING ALMOST A CONTINUOUS EVENT. I CAN'T HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE I CAN'T BE SURE THE DOORS WILL STAY CLOSED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AND I FEAR THAT THE CAR IS NOW EXPOSED TO THEFT BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO ACCESS REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER DOORS, OR THE ALARM. THIS IS NOW AFFECTING MY SAFETY AND MY SECURITY. PLEASE HAVE HONDA FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

FIRST: ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY IT SELF SOON AFTER PRESSING THE LOCK/OPEN DOOR BUTTON ON CAR KEY. AT ONE POINT WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR BY PRESSING LOCK/OPEN, IT WOULD CLICK OPEN AND LOCK JUST AS QUICKLY. IT TOOK A TOTAL OF 5 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN CAR DOOR WHILE HOLDING DOOR HANDLE AND PULLING AS SOON AS IT CLICKED. SECOND: THE CAR ACCELERATES WHEN PRESSING BRAKE, IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT THE BRAKE MUST BE PRESSED AT A DISTANCE OF THREE CARS. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE VERY SERIOUS AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. NHTSA PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL, DON'T WAIT FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT WOULD TAKE THE LIFE OF A PERSON/PERSONS. *TR

THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR COULD OPEN UP. I HAVE READ THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE INCIDENTS AS THERE ARE MANY CLAIMS ON THIS. IT IS ONLY THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE 105 DOLLARS JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THAT IS NOT EVEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS. *TR

THE 2008 HONDA CRV HAS ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. ~ I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW CAR, AND RECENTLY BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR STATE INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD BY HENDRICKS HONDA, WOODBRIDGE, VA THAT I HAVE A LEAK IN MY RACK & PINION WHICH CANNOT BE FIXED. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING/ RACK&PINION SYSTEMS WITH AN ALIGNMENT FOR A COST OF OVER $1600. I ASKED WHETHER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR'S MODEL AND DIDN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. BASED ON NUMEROUS REPORTS HERE AND ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM/DEFECT WITH 2008 CRVS AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE MODEL.
