    Driver door unlocks whenever the car makes a right turn. Dome light goes on. Door re-locks when stopping and starting, unlocks again when turning. In city traffic, door unlocks and relocks constantly. (making normal unlocking/locking clicking sound). I took it to the honda dealer. They said they test drove it - said they could not duplicate the issue and tried to send me away. I requested that their mechanic ride…

    The tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) light illuminates when i have my cell phone plugged into the car charger. It stays on until i unplug the phone from the charger. This is ongoing and not just a one time incident. The car has been checked by a mechanic and the tpms system is operational with no problem. *tr

    Electrical System · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    The locking system on my 2009 honda crv has not been working properly for several months. The front and back passenger side door will lock and unlock by itself, the driver side front and back will make squeaking noises like it is trying to lock and unlock and the back door will not open at all whether it is turned off or running. I thought for sure that this would be a safety recall because the doors will lock and…

    The first occurrence involved the right front door lock and the tailgate lock. When attempting to lock the doors with either the key fob or the interior button lock,neither door would lock. After operating the car and stopping ,the doors would mysteriously lock then. *tr

    Electrical System · Radio/Tape Deck/Cd Etc.

    This is a common problem in multiple model years for the honda crv. You cannot make it happen by doing something and you can go weeks without it happening. As you are driving the warning letters tpms light up and the owner's manual tells you to immediately contact the dealer if this happens. I have taken the car to the dealer 4 times and also contacted honda case # [xxx]. The dealer and honda said the problem is…

The automatic door locks was not a feature on the vehicle. The dealer stated that because the battery life was low, it was sending a faulty signal to the remote causing the doors to lock independently. The dealer replaced the battery and within three months, the failure…

    Electrical System · Seats

    Bought a crv honda last month. Right after purchase, began getting large electrical shocks while opening or shutting doors--in a variety of shoes and clothing. Contacted dealership and corporate office--all they could say was to spray the seats and floors with fabric softener. Did so...lasted 7-10 days--not happy with vehicle for this reason--afraid to gas the vehicle due to the possibility of catching on fire. *tr
