ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY BEING DEAD. SIX TIMES I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY OR HAVE IT TOWED IN TO BE SERVICED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE THIRD THRU FIVE TIME I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY IN MY GARAGE, AFTER BUYING A CHARGING UNIT. THE SIX TIME I HAD IT TOWED IN FROM MY GARAGE TO THE DEALER. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE A/C RELAY AND I ASKED THAT IT BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER YEARS BUT NOT WITH THE 2009. I ALSO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10/23/2019 BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. I PAID $90.94 TO HAVE THE A/C RELAY REPLACED AND SO FAR THE CAR IS STARTING. I THINK THE COST OF $90.94 SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY HONDA OR MY ADVANTAGE WARRANTY. *TR

WHEELS
THE TIRE WAS FLAT FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WE PULLED INTO A UHAUL LOCATION WHERE THEY FILLED AIR AND APPARENTLY NO AIR WAS LEAKING. HOWEVER, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO COSTCO TIRE CENTER SINCE THE MICHELINS WERE PURCHASED THERE AND THEY EXAMINED AND SAID THE RIMS WERE "DAMAGED". THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE FROM OUTSIDE BUT ACCORDING TO THEM, THE AIR LEAKS FROM THE INSIDE IN THE RIM AND THE TIRE HAS BEEN FLAT AGAIN. WE THOUGHT IT IS THE VALVE BUT EVEN AFTER VALVE REPLACEMENT, ITS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT WE HAD A VALVE CHANGED THEN TOO AND IT WORKED APPARENTLY. NOT SURE IF THE RIMS ARE NOT ACCURATELY MACHINED BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM. *TR

FIRST PROBLEM - MARCH 2014 - LEFT REAR DOOR START TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY ITSELF AS DRIVING. REPLACED ACTUATOR. SECOND PROBLEM - AUGUST 2014 - PASSENGER DOOR START DOING THE SAME THING LOCK AND UNLOCK BY ITSELF. I MANUALLY TRY TO LOCK, UNLOCKS BY ITSELF. THE REAR DOOR DOES THE SAME THING ALONG WITH THE FRONT DOOR. THIRD PROBLEM - SEPTEMBER 2014 - REAR HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK USING THE REMOTE. HAD TO GET KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK AND TURN COUPLE OF TIMES UNTIL FINALLY OPENED. THIS ISSUES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY. NHTSA PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL - DON'T WAIT UNTIL A MAJOR INJURY OR POSSIBLY A DEATH OCCURS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL (WHEN DEPRESSED) IS LOWER THAN THE THROTTLE (GAS PEDAL), MY FOOT HAS HIT BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, . I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEREFORE NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT MY NEXT STEP, IF ANY, SHOULD BE ??? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HONDA 2008 CR-V'S REAR RIGHT DOOR UNLOCKS ITSELF 1. AFTER LOCKING IT THRU THE REMOTE, 2. AFTER LOCKING IT MANUALLY FROM THE LOCK SWITCH. 3. EVEN AFTER LOCKING IT THRU THE KEYS. IT HAS A FEATURE OF AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING ALL DOORS FROM FULL STOP TO 9MPH BUT THIS DOOR WILL UNLOCK ITSELF IN ANY WAY. I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS NOT SECURED AND ME AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DRIVER SIDE POWER LOCKS ARE LOCKING ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER I UNLOCK IT VIA THE KEY FOB OR THE UNLOCK/LOCK SWITCH INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY BECAUSE IT IS VERY RESISTANT TO MOVING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS AN ACTUATOR FAILURE AND IS COMMON IN 2007 HONDA CRV. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
GAVE THE GAS TO TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP AND THE CAR HAD NO REACTION. SEEMED LIKE THE ENGINE DIED OR STOPPED RUNNING. I HAD TO GIVE THE GAS HARDER AND THE ENGINE CAUGHT AND THE TIRES SKIDDED. THIS HESITATION LEFT MY CAR IN A DANGEROUS POSITION AS I WAS ENTERING A 55 MPH ROAD. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET ON THE ROAD UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTED MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME SINCE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
INITIALLY, OVER A YEAR AGO, THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WOULD MAKE A HIGH PITCHED HUMMING/WHINING NOISE WHEN ACTIVATED, BUT THE DOOR LOCKS STILL WORKED PROPERLY BACK THEN. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, THE DOOR LOCKS SOUND AS IF THEY ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY AND CONTINUOUSLY ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION AS I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING NOISE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED AS I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV'S FROM 2007 TO 2011. THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. HONDA KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AS THERE IS AT LEAST ONE LAWSUIT SEEKING CLASS CERTIFICATION IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY, BUT HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SEE HTTP://WWW.CHIMICLES.COM/HONDA-AND-ACURA-DOOR-LOCK-ACTUATOR-FAILURE. A SIMILAR POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR PROBLEM ON EARLIER YEARS HONDA CRVS WAS WIDESPREAD ALSO ACCORDING TO INFORMATION THAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. *TR
