I PURCHASED A USED 2008 HONDA CRV ON 07/19/2017. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS UNLOCKING BY ITSELF. WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 5 TO 20MPH THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK UNTIL YOU GET TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE REAR DRIVER DOOR WOULD STAY UNLOCKED. I WENT TO A HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE ACTUATOR WAS BAD AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WAS BEGINNING TO FAIL DUE A LOAD NOISE WHEN ACTIVATED. THEY REPLACED BOTH ACTUATORS AT A COST OF $602.25. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE PAST OWNER AND THE PAST OWNER HAD THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT ACTUATOR REPLACED AND THE REAR ACTUATOR WAS LOOKED AT BUT NOT REPLACED. I READ THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND IT SAYS, "FOR ALL SETTLEMENT CLASS VEHICLES, HONDA WILL PROVIDE A COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT FREE OF CHARGE, IF THAT LOCK DOOR ACTUATOR HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WITH THE COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT PART AS PROVIDED IN THE HONDA CASE 2:13-CV-00381-FSH-JBC DOCUMENT 56-1 FILED 09/24/14 PAGE 14 OF 72 PAGEID: 694 11 COUNTERMEASURE UPDATE. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT, A SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER MUST BRING THE SETTLEMENT CLASS VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. OWNERS AND LESSEES OF SETTLEMENT CLASS VEHICLES WILL BE ENTITLED TO A COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY EXCLUDE THEMSELVES FROM THE SETTLEMENT." COUNTERMEASURE MEANS WORKING OR NOT WORKING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE CRV SERVICE BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AND THE ACTUATORS DID NOT GET REPLACED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE ME A $100.00 VOUCHER TO BE USED AT ANY HONDA DEALERSHIP. IN CONCLUSION I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS CAR SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER THE POWER LOCK ACTUATORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED. I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION. THANK YOU,

HONDA REPLACED BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT APRIL 2017. I WAS BROADSIDED, DRIVERS DOOR WAS IMPACTED. MY HEAD WENT HROUGH THE DRIVERS WINDOW. NONE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS INFLATED. THE BODY SHOP WAS DISTURBED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN IN PHYSICAL THERAPY SINCE THE ACCIDENT. THE VA HAS BEEN SUPPLYING MEDICAL TREATMENT. HONDA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY ALTHOUGH THEY NEVER SAW THE CAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY PROGRESSIVE WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAGS BECAUSE THEY WERE FAULTY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. WESTPORT HONDA WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR IS NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING IT AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR WITHOUT REVEALING THE KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT WARNING INDICATING THE SIDE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. THE INDICATOR IS OFF MOST OF THE TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO COME ON AND HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE ON. HONDA INDICATED TO ME THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE TESTED AT MY EXPENSE. I AM DISABLED AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS DONE. OR ABLE TO TRAVEL TO SUCH A FACILITY.

A SEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT NUMEROUS OTHER HONDA 2008 CR-V OWNERS HAVE NOTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS MODEL WHICH I BELIEVE WARRANTS A RECALL FOR HONDA TO REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR ACTUATOR IN 2015. THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE OTHER DOORS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DRIVERS DOOR ACTUATOR AND CHECKED THE REST. THE BACK PASSENGERS DOOR WAS NOT STAYING LOCKED SO THEY REPLACED THAT ONE.I NOW HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WHERE YOU CAN NOT UNLOCK IT . I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY EXTENSION ANYMORE. I PAID $286.27 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I THINK IT'S VERY DANGEROUS NOT TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR DOOR, ESPECIALLY IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY. I AM HOPING FOR SOME REIMBURSEMENT FROM HONDA.
