LOCKS STARTED LOCKING WITHIN A SECOND OF BEING UNLOCKED. SO I COULD UNLOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY BUTTON AND PULL QUICKLY TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET IN. THE LOCKS WOULD ENGAGE AS SOON AS I GOT IN. HOWEVER, IF I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM INSIDE, I WOULD HAVE TO USE TWO HANDS, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT. ONCE THE DOORS CLOSED THE LOCKS WOULD IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE. AS IT TURNS OUT I LOCKED MY PURSE AND KEYS INSIDE. MY SPARE KEY WOULD NOT OPEN IT. THERE WAS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE! THIS IS MY CONCERN. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR A CHILD INSIDE, THERE WAS NO WAY TO OPEN, NOT EVEN WITH A KEY. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT HAS BEEN FIXED, AN ACTUATOR (?). *TR

IN LINE WITH THE RECENT MAZDA RECALL FOR YELLOW SAC SPIDERS FOUND IN THE EVAC CANISTERS, MY HONDA CR-V HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS AFFECTED HONDA ACCORDS IN THE PAST BECAUSE HONDA HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON INSTALLING A SPECIAL FILTER FOR HONDA ACCORDS TO PREVENT THE SPIDERS FROM ENTERING. HOWEVER, NO SUCH BULLETIN OR PART EXISTS FOR THE HONDA CR-V. AS SUCH, AFTER PAYING NEARLY $100 AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE AND REMOVE THE SPIDERS, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ADD A FILTER TO PREVENT SPIDER RE-ENTRY. AT THE MINIMUM, THESE SPIDERS WITH THEIR RESULTANT WEBS CAN SEVERELY LIMIT GAS MILEAGE. AT THE WORST, A FIRE OR ENGINE FAILURE CAN RESULT. I PETITION THAT HONDA ISSUE A RECALL FOR HONDA CR-V'S AND COVER THE LABOR AND PARTS COSTS FOR PLACING A SPECIALIZED FILTER TO PREVENT SPIDER RE-ENTRY. *TR

WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT. IT TAKES CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

MY 2008 HONDA CRV IN 2010 BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DOOR LOCK AND THEN THE HATCH LOCK. WHEN I PUT THE REAR DOOR LOCK INTO CHILD SAFETY MODE AND TOOK IT OFF CHILD SAFETY MODE, THE DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK. IT KEPT LOCKING AND I WOULD HAVE TO MANUALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE LOCK BUTTON IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA CAR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTUATOR AND IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES AND IT WOULD COST ME $380 TO REPAIR IT EVEN THOUGHT THE PART I WAS TOLD WAS ACTUALLY ONLY $80 DOLLARS. TO ME AND TO EVERYONE ELSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IF IT HAPPENS OFTEN TO HONDA VEHICLES. I REFUSED THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. LATER IN A FEW WEEKS, MY HATCH WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNLESS THE DEFECTIVE REAR DOOR LOCK WAS ALSO UNLOCKED. NOW, IT IS 2014 AND AS OF FRIDAY, 2/28/14, ALL MY LOCKS ARE NOW LOCKING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I USED MY AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK ON MY KEY FOB. I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO MY CAR UNLESS I'M QUICK ABOUT IT BEFORE IT LOCKS ON ME AGAIN. THEN WHEN I WANT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS, BEFORE I CAN EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT OF MY CAR, ALL THE LOCKS LOCK UP AGAIN WITHOUT MY HAVING DONE ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. THE DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THESE DEFECTS. HERE IS THE LINK TO ARFC.ORG WHICH HAS A LIST OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS HAVING THE SAME DEFECTIVE ISSUES: HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2008/HONDA/CR-V/LATCHES_LOCKS_LINKAGES/PROBLEM.ASPX. IS IT NECESSARY FOR HONDA DRIVER OR THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBER GO TO THEIR GRAVE UNTIL THIS DEFECT IS ADDRESSED?

THIS IS MY THIRD COMPLAINT TO YOUR AGENCY. MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT NUMBERS: 10561753, 10560625, AND 10548352. MY CR-V HAS AN UNWANTED ACCELERATION PROBLEM. AS I AM APPLYING THE BRAKES TO STOP, THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASES AND REQUIRES VERY HARD BRAKING AND SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER AND IT WAS EXAMINED BY A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE WHO REPORTED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THIS OPINION IS BASED ON THE PROBLEM NOT OCCURRING DURING THE DAY THEY HAD THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY DAY OR EVEN EVERY WEEK. I TOLD THEM THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE MAY BE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT. MY CONTACTS TO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS HAVE RESULTED IN BEING TOLD THIS IS A PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA AND NOT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. I FEEL THAT AN ACCIDENT WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

I HAD TO ALWAYS LEAVE A WINDOW DOWN BECAUSE YOU COULD BE LOCKED OUT EVEN WITH THE KEYS IN YOUR HAND. I HAD THIS FIXED BACK IN APRIL 2013 AT MY OWN EXPENSE SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE: YOU CAN BE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
