ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
EVEN WHEN YOU LOCK IT (OR IT LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ABOVE 10 MPH), THE FRONT TWO DOOR LOCKS WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN, WHEN DRIVING OR EVEN AFTER PARKING THE CAR. BASED UPON OTHER POSTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR, AND SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR SOME TIME NOW THE DOORS OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOCK AGAIN WHEN USING REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY. BUT NOW OCCASIONALLY THE PANIC BUTTON GOES OFF AND THE CAR HONKS AND FLASHES AND THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AND WE WERE ALL ESSENTIALLY STRANDED UNTIL THE CAR SETTLED DOWN. IT IS EASY TO IMAGINE A MUCH MORE SERIOUS SCENARIO WHERE THE CHILDREN ARE LOCKED IN THE CAR AND THE CAR CANNOT BE OPENED BECAUSE THE LOCKS ARE INOPERABLE AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND TO DEACTIVATING THE PANIC BUTTON. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING A POWER DOOR LOCKING PROBLEM WITH THE BACK SEAT / PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK. THE POWER LOCKING SYSTEM KEEPS TRYING TO LOCK THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING AND IT PRODUCES A CONSTANT CLICKING SOUND. I AM UNABLE TO SECURE MY DOOR. FROM MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT I HAVE A BAD ACTUATOR AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA CR-V'S. *TR

THE DOORS UNLOCK THEMSELVES WHETHER DRIVING OR PARKED. WHEN I USE MY REMOTE TO LOCK MY DOORS TWO OF MY DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK THEMSELVES. WHEN DRIVING AND AUTO LOCKS ENGAGE, TWO OF THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK THEMSELVES CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK ITSELF. *TR

IT STARTED WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK UNLOCKING AND LOCKING ITSELF. NOW THE OTHER DOOR LOCKS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. AS I AM DRIVING THEY ARE ALWAYS UNLOCKING AND LOCKING. I AM SCARED MY SON WILL LEAN ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 43317 MILES ON IT. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING, THEN WITHIN DAYS, THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED CYCLING CONSTANTLY WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. ALSO, THE REAR HATCH WOULD ALSO NOT UNLOCK. AT TIMES THE REMOTE WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE INNER DOOR HANDLE, AS THE ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN BLOWING ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE OCT. 2008. THEY LAST ANYWHERE FROM A FEW WEEKS TO A COUPLE YEARS EACH. BOTH SIDES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS. HAVE HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACE EACH TIME. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA UNTIL RESEARCHING IT TODAY. RECALLS ARE IN PLACE STARTING WITH THE '06 MODEL. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMMENTS FROM OTHER '05 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE COSTLY SOLUTION OFFERED TO THEM. THE '05 CR-VS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THIS RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUAL KEY. DOOR LOCKS SPORADICALLY MOVE UP AND DOWN WITH OUT TOUCHING DOOR LOCK SWITCHES. I SPENT $300.00 ON GENUINE HONDA PARTS AND HAD MY MECHANIC INSTALL A NEW ACTUATOR AND LOCK MECHANISM, AND THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME. I WANT TO TAKE THE CAR TO HONDA AND ASK FOR A TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT AND A FINAL REPAIR. I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE KEY LOCKS ON THESE MODELS. A LOCAL TELEVISION STATION ( WITH A PROBLEM SOLVING SEGMENT RECENTLY COVERED THIS PROBLEM.) CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY?

THE VEHICLE LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, IT'S RANDOM WHEN IT HAPPENS. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME LOCK ISSUES OR AT LEAST SOMETHING SIMILAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS TILTED AND THAT THERE WERE TWO BROKEN MOTOR-MOUNTS BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,000. *TR

STEERING
MY 2012 HONDA CR-V (AWD, EX TRIM) HAS, ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, LOCKED UP THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS (<25 MPH) OR PARKING LOTS. I AM LUCKY THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, BUT I FEAR IT MAY HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT. ON TODAY'S OCCASION (THE 5TH OUT OF 5, AT 6372 MILES), MY CAR WAS SITTING IN BRIGHT SUN ALL DAY, AND WHEN I DROVE IT A FEW MILES AND PARKED IN FRONT OF A STORE, I LOST POWER STEERING RIGHT AS I TURNED TO PARK. THE STEERING TENDED TO HARDEN UP AS I DROVE THROUGH THE PARKING LOT TO FIND MY SPOT. THE EPS INDICATOR ON THE DASH DID NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH MY STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TO WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE INTO POSITION. ON PAGE 355 OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL, A NOTICE STATES THAT: "IF YOU REPEATEDLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT AN EXTREMELY LOW SPEED, OR HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE FULL LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION FOR A WHILE, THE SYSTEM HEATS UP. THE SYSTEM GOES INTO A PROTECTIVE MODE, AND LIMITS ITS PERFORMANCE. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES HARDER AND HARDER TO OPERATE. ONCE THE SYSTEM COOLS DOWN, EPS IS RESTORED. REPEATED OPERATION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS CAN EVENTUALLY DAMAGE THE SYSTEM." WHAT KIND OF STEERING IS THIS? YOU TEND TO USE YOUR STEERING MOST WHEN IN PARKING LOTS OR TIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. IN CONCLUSION, NORMAL DRIVING HABITS WILL "EVENTUALLY DAMAGE THE SYSTEM." I DEMAND HONDA TO FULLY REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REMAINING NEGATIVE EQUITY OF THE VEHICLE LEASE, AND PROVIDE ME A SAFE, PAID-IN-FULL RENTAL VEHICLE (NON-HONDA PLEASE) TO DRIVE UNTIL MY NEW MINI COUNTRYMAN ARRIVES FROM EUROPE IN A FEW WEEKS. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT A COMPANY KNOWN FOR "RELIABILITY" AND "DURABILITY" WOULD SKIMP ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF DRIVING: THE STEERING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
A FEW WEEKS BEFORE MY 36 MONTH WARRANTY WAS UP, MY DOOR ACTUATOR WENT OUT IN THE LEFT REAR DOOR. IT WAS REPLACED AND WORKED FINE UNTIL RECENTLY 18 MONTHS LATER IT SEEMS THE SAME DOOR ACTUATOR HAS GONE OUT. I AM TAKING IT IN TO BE REPLACED FOR OVER $200 WHICH IS A BIT MUCH FOR A LIMITED INCOME. THE DOOR IS WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE IN THAT IT KEEPS CYCLING LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AS I'M DRIVING. I THINK HONDA SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS RANDOMLY AND IT HAS BEEN RECURRING MORE OFTEN RECENTLY. IT NOW MAKES A TERRIBLE SOUND WHEN IT UNLOCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR; THE DRIVER HAS TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK AND THE PASSENGER HAS ONLY A SPLIT SECOND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE UNLOCKED DOOR BEFORE IT RELOCKS AGAIN. THERE WOULD BE NO WAY FOR THE PASSENGER TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE DOOR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK MOVES ITSELF INTO UNLOCK POSITION EITHER IMMEDIATELY AFTER LOCKING, OR WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. THE ACTUATOR WILL LOCK, BUT THERE IS CLEARLY A SPRING FORCE THAT GRADUALLY UNLOCKS THE DOOR DURING DRIVING, OR EVEN WHEN STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AS THE DOORS WOULD CONTINUALLY TRY TO LOCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. EVENTUALLY, I FOUND WHICH DOOR, WHEN I OPENED IT FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN ALL OTHERS WERE LOCKED. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CHILD SAFETY SWITCH IS ENGAGED OR NOT. THE DOOR WILL STILL UNLOCK ITSELF. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY
DOOR LOCKS BEGAN TO LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES REPEATEDLY AS I DROVE, UNLOCKING @ AROUND 9 MPH NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I RELOCKED. IF I RELOCKED THEM THEY WOULD OPEN AT AN INTERSECTION STOP (VERY UNSAFE ALSO!), OR JUST OPEN & CLOSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING - ALL KINDS OF NOISY DOOR-LOCKING & UNLOCKING. I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE REAR DOOR LOCKED AT ALL WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, LEAVING IT UNLOCKED AT NIGHT OR IF I LEFT THE CARE TO GO SOMEWHERE. I WAS ON A TRIP WITH LUGGAGE, COMPUTER, GPS, ETC. IN THE CAR AND IT WAS UNLOCKED! WHEN I GOT BACK HOME TO RHODE ISLAND AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND THE LOCK ACTUATORS ON THE FRONT & REAR PASSENGER DOORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $524. THEY STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT IT WAS NOT CAUSE BY ANYTHING I DID, WHICH MADE ME EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE THEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN! I FELT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE SERVICE COMPLETED BECAUSE I FELT SO UNSAFE WITH AN UNLOCKED AUTO, BOTH ON THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO OVERNIGHT OR WHEN PARKED. I HAVE JUST SUBMITTED THIS INFORMATION, SERVICE INVOICE, AND A COPY OF MY PROOF OF PAYMENT TO HONDA IN TORRANCE, CA, ONLY BECAUSE I SAW A SIMILAR COMPLAINT ON WPRI-TV IN PROVIDENCE - WHICH MADE ME REALIZE I WAS NOT AT ALL ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
