Headlamps blow out with frightening regularity; they last no more than 3-6 months. This is not due to contamination on the glass, as the blowout does not occur there. It may be a high voltage problem, as the headlamp socket has partially melted on several occasions as a result of a blowout. Both driver and passenger sides have been replaced with heavy duty/high temp sockets, and yet lamps continue to blow and have…

I own a 2008 honda cr-v. While the vehicle was stationary in my driveway and i attempted to lock all the doors. However, the left side rear door behind the driver's side did not lock. I think this will be a safety issue especially if i have young children as my passengers. Also, knowing that my car was locked already but not, there will be a potential danger of bad guys coming inside either to take valuable items or…

There was a loud banging sound and the air conditioner, which was on and working great, stopped blowing cold air. I researched the problem and found that this has been very common on honda cr-vs. From my experience and the four different failure modes that have been identified, it sounds like the ac compressor exploded or imploded and could have left shards of metal on the highway i was driving on. Two other failure…

I was traveling at low speed in a parking lot when i noticed that the engine had suddenly turned itself off. At that moment i noticed that the metal part of the ignition key had separated from the plastic key fob, and the plastic part, with the rest of my keys attached, had dropped to the floor of the car. After investigation, i saw that the small screw that holds the plastic and metal parts together had pulled…

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

I first noticed the problem on 8/21/14. After starting the car and putting it in drive, the door locks activated a few seconds after the car started moving, as they normally do. About a minute later i had to come to a stop. When the car started moving, the rear door locks cycled again. This would happen every time the car would start to move again from a stop. I reached my destination and exited the car, locking the…

When driving the door locks keep locking and unlocking. Now the passenger front and rear doors will not lock at all. This poses a problem when children are riding in the car and may try to open a door while the driver is driving, by allowing thieves to enter the car while it is parked (also not parked), and other hazards which make my family now afraid to ride in the car. I dread the cost of this repair for a…

The door lock for the back door of our vehicle keeps slowly unlocking after we attempt to lock the doors. This happens when we use the fob or when we attempt to lock the doors manually. This is a safety issue and i understand there is a class action suit (or suits) against honda for this. *tr

All doors are locking automatically immediately after they have been unlocked. On occasion, after locking, the doors will not unlock nor allow manual override of the front driver's side door to unlock it - the driver has had to crawl through the car to locate a door that could be unlocked manually in order to exit the vehicle. *tr
