On 1/28/2017 my daughter's 2009 honda crv caught on fire in our driveway and burned until it was a total loss. It only had 87,000 miles on it and seemed to be running perfectly that day. I had driven her car for one hour (a 44 mile trip), returned home, turned off the car, took the keys out of the ignition and went inside the house. About ten minutes later, one of my daughters heard a car alarm, we looked outside…

The front driver's side door lock actuator is failing. The door unlocks automatically as i'm driving. The instrument panel shows the door ajar when this happens. It happens when the car is stationary as well, causing the alarm to go off randomly day and night. Our neighbors are understandably furious. I slept in the car last night to keep it from going off - didn't want to be under the hood in chicago at 1am trying…

Twice in the past year and the bulbs just burnt out again while my wife was driving home from work today in the dark. We have purchases oem, aftermarket, long life etc with the same result. The car was moving this time when the lights burned out. This vehicle is mostly driven on the highway about 100 miles a day, which…

The door lock on my 2009 crv does not work, neither manually nor with the electronic "fob". I cannot get into the car. I went online on edmunds car forum and noted that this appears to be a widespread problem with honda crv. Perhaps honda should be made to fix this problem at their own expense. This problem could potentially leave the car owner locked outside his/her car in the freezing cold with no access to a…

I am submitting this complaint in regards to the honda door actuator situation. It is evident that honda has negligently omitted a vast majority of affected vehicles in their recent liability lawsuit recall. I personally have had several repairs on my 2009 crv door locks since i purchased it new in 2009 and am again experiencing continuous problems with the drivers side door lock actuator. Based on my experience and…

I put it on a charger, and when i came out to check it 2 hours later i noticed that the lights were on while the light switch was of off. I tried to start it again but the battery was still dead, but the lights still on. Its obvious that there seem to be something wrong. I'd like to know why would the lights go on,. On…

The vehicle will lock itself while sitting in the garage or elsewhere. It has happened quite often but this particular time i unlocked it with the key fob and walked to the mailbox (about 60 ft) and back and it was locked. It has done this sitting in the driveway, too. I have not noticed it unlocking by itself but that would really concern me. It locks all doors normally when i first pick up speed. It has always…

For the past month or so my car doors will not all unlock with the key fobs. The rear door and trunk will not always open. Additionally, when driving slow or making slow turns, the door locks will lock and or unlock as i am driving. Will be going to the dealer and hopefully have them fix this. This is a very dangerous problem, especially if one has small children. *tr

The rear passenger door lock stopped working, then within days, the door locks started cycling constantly while the car was moving. Also, the rear hatch would also not unlock. At times the remote would not unlock the doors. The repair was to replace the inner door handle, as the actuator was defective. *tr
