There is a violent shaking feeling coming from the engine area along with a loud constant rattling sound coming from the same area. This happens when driving and when stationary. The dealership said it was a tensioner (?) arm and charged me $580. The sound persists and is worse when the air conditioner is running. Also the back seat passenger side lock makes a loud buzzing noise when locked or unlocked.

When car doors lock it makes a loud noise and driver door does not lock. I feel that this is a defect in locks/sensors. It is very unsafe to have a car that does not lock.

The driver side rear door and trunk cannot be unlocked. There is no response when i try to unlock the doors with the remote. The door also does not open when i try to unlock the door manually. This is definitely a life threatening safety issue in case of an emergency escape becoming necessary.

Vehicle shut off while driving on highway. Had it towed for service. The main computer turned out to be defective and had to be replaced. Very expensive. Mileage was about 91,000 miles when this occurred. No computer was in stock so replaced with a used computer that was reprogrammed for my vehicle.

Crv was in park, turned on ignition, closed driver door and went around to back door to get something from the back seat; car locks locked when i closed door. We had to jimmy the car lock open while car was on. Now, one of the back locks sounds like a machine gun when we lock the car with the fob or when the locks close themselves after reaching a certain speed.

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…
