I bought my car brand new in november 2007. It is a 2008 honda cr-v 5dr 2wd ex. A couple/few years back, the locks started acting up. It was always the same two, the front passenger door and the rear door. I would push the unlock button on my key, and the other 3 doors would unlock, but those 2 would not. I tried using the unlock/lock buttons on the driver's door, and after hitting the lock button first and then…

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…

My 2008 honda crv in 2010 began having problems with the rear door lock and then the hatch lock. When i put the rear door lock into child safety mode and took it off child safety mode, the door lock would not unlock. It kept locking and i would have to manually press down on the lock button in order to open the door from the outside. I took it to a honda car dealership service dept. And was told it was the actuator…

Automatic door locks lock and unlock by themselves, sometimes fail to lock or unlock, and make a very loud noise when they are activated. This happens on multiple doors in my honda crv. This is a well-known defect and a safety hazard as well as a huge annoyance. The cost to repair this defect in the actuators is about $370 per door. Honda refuses to acknowledge this defect. Do not buy a honda cr-v. *tr

Passenger door lock automatically locks and can not manually be unlocked. Took to dealer at the first opportunity, i was told care was "just out of warranty". Car is now at 75,000 miles and all 5 door locks have failed. Resulting in my keys being locked inside at a car wash by the employees. Current class action suit is pending. Honda will do nothing about it except charge me nearly $325 for each door lock repair.…

The passenger door locks immediately after unlocking, before you can grab the handle, preventing you from opening the door. The front seat passenger is trapped inside the vehicle. This may seem like a minor problem but if the passenger needed to get out of the vehicle in case of accident, fire or water then they will have no chance and could suffer serious injury or death. From reading incident reports on this site,…
