In april of this year (2013), the 2008 honda crv-ex that i purchase certified, pre-owned in october 2012, began having problems with the door locks. As i was driving, the locks would automatically unlock and lock themselves every time i came to a stop and started driving again. The problem stopped after a few days, then a few weeks later, started occurring again. Before i called to have it checked, it stopped, but…

Right rear door and hatch would not unlock either manually or through the power locking system. Dealer determined that this was the result of faulty actuators and forced me to pay over $600 to have them replaced. This is a known error as there are other reported cases of this happening. It was also a safety issue as passengers could have been trapped in the car. *tr

In march of 2013 the passenger door started to lock itself immediately following me unlocking it. I thought it was a fuse problem. Then on may 26,2013 my child noticed that the back passenger door had begun to do the same thing. To fix the problem on both doors would be upwards of $440+. This seems to be a serious issue with all crvs and a real safety issue for those with young children. *tr

I read that this might be due to other actuatiors needing…

Left passenger door lock when lock or unlocked makes a loud grinding noise. Front drivers door will not unlock with manual key. I have seen many reports of same on this website. I believe this is a major issue that needs addressed by honda. Honda has no service recalls , but it looks like they did in 2006 ? *tr

The power locks on the doors keep unlocking themselves while driving . It has potentially unlocked while driving even though the lock has been placed. Manually unlocking or locking doors is not an option as the lock seems to unlock by itself. Very dangerous to use with children even if the safety lock is placed the doors continue to unlock by themselves. *tr

Doors lock and unlock without prompting. Doors also make awful noise when they lock and unlock whenever they want. The key also does not work to unlock the door any longer. I had to always leave a window down because you could be locked out even with the keys in your hand. I had this fixed back in april 2013 at my own expense since it is not under recall and now it is happening again. Major safety issue: you can be…

This issue affects passenger safety and can be a hindrance in case of an emergency egress during unsafe…

This problem concerns the automatic child safety door lock function. Approximately three months ago, the door locks began to malfunction and continuously lock and unlock themselves whenever the car reached 9 or 10 miles per hour. When the car reaches this speed while either accelerating or slowing down, the locks either lock themselves or unlock themselves depending on their previous position. I drive in los angeles…
