I have been having issues with the locks on my 2008 honda crv. It started on the passenger side of my car. It initially would not stay locked. I contacted the dealer and they advised no recalls. After about 6 months it started working again. Then about another 6 months it quit again. (weather related?). Now that lock stays locked all the time. We are not able to unlock it...not even manually. About a year later the…

Cannot unlock the doors. When i use the key fob or the unlock switch on the door, doors unlock and instantly re-lock themselves. In order to enter or exit the vehicle i need to use two hands and simultaneously unlock the door and pull the door handle. I need two people to open the tail gate. *js

On 08/26/2013 the front right door on my 2008 honda cr-v started to unlock itself even when in motion. It would lock and then unlock itself again. I had the honda dealer in old bridge, nj fix the issue a few days later. Then on 09/11/2013 all of a sudden all doors of the vehicle started to lock themselves immediately after unlocking. Many times doors will not unlock at all making it difficult to get into or out of…

The power door lock on the front passenger door will not stay locked. As soon as you lock it manually or with the key fob, it will slowly unlock itself. This occurs if the car is parked or in motion. It will lock itself if the auto accelerates over 10mph, but then will again slowly unlock seconds later and will stay in the unlock position. This in turn defeats the security system, making it ineffective, allowing the…

The right rear passenger power door lock remains in the locked position at all times. Any attempt to unlock the door, either manually or remotely, only lasts for a few seconds at most. Then the door is relocked electrically and can't be opened from neither the inside nor outside. The door can only be opened by quickly pulling the door latch in between an unlock command and the automatic reset of the lock. Since the…

The car was parked and my friend was able to get into the front passenger seat without setting off the alarm. I got into the car and noticed that even after locking the doors. The front passenger lock would slowly open and does not stay latched. This is a huge safety concern and by the amount of other complaints is not unique to myself. Of course it happened the month after the warranty expired. *tr

The door lock actuators on three of my doors began unlocking within a week of the first occurrence. When the alarm is set, the doors initially lock, then instantaneously unlock failing to keep the vehicle secure. While driving on streets, the door locks engage and disengage at every stop. *jb

Rear passenger door-lock does not stay locked. It gradually begins to unlock even though it's locked by remote or manually. This presents a safety issue as the door will automatically remain open even though it should be locked. It presents a safety issue as the vehicle remains open even during the night. *tr

Drivers door lock kept locking and unlocking while driving it or in park. Had to pay $160.00 to have the door lock actuator replaced in july 2013. Now the rear doors are starting to making a strange sound when locking or unlocking the doors. This is the sound the came before the locks actually started to malfunction on the front door. Why isn't honda being held responsible for all these actuator problems? *tr

Upon stopping vehicle and placing it in park and turning off ignition. I unlock automatic door and within seconds it relocks itself, it will not let me manually unlock the door from the inside. I am afraid it will trap my family or me in a accident, potentially putting us at serious risk of injury especially if there is a fire. I think honda should replace this with a recall. *tr

Right rear door would not stay unlocked in the beginning. Since then, all doors except the driver's unlock seconds after they are commanded to lock, this is with or without the car running, drivers master switch, fob or auto lock, makes no difference they won't stay locked. No security here. I have driven hondas since the early 80's. First problem i have had like this. Honda needs to step up and fix this before…

Door locking system failure. First rear driver's side door lock went out-will not unlock with alarm key, nor with the inner lock button system. Must be manually unlocked and locked. This caused the rear hatch to not open. Will only open once i have manually unlocked rear driver's side door. Now, the passenger door does not stay locked--whether i lock it with the key, button, or manually. It slow opens back to the…
