2008 Honda CR-V Latches/Locks

BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS DON'T STAY LOCKED. AFTER YOU PASS 10 MI PER HOUR THE LOCKS UNLOCK AND MAKE A LOUD CLANKING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER YOU STOP AND TURN OFF CAR THEY DON'T LOCK, YOU HAVE TO TRY 2-3 TIMES TO LOCK THEM. ALSO WHEN YOU LOCK OR UNLOCK THE CAR THERE IS A LOUD CLANKY SOUND FROM THE LOCKS. *TR

THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN APRIL BY AMERICAN HONDA AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. UPDATED 06/03/2014 *JS

EVERY TIME WE TRY DRIVE ABOVE 9 MPH, THE DOOR TRIES TO LOCK, EVEN IF ITS ALREADY LOCK. IN A PARKING LOT IT KEEPS TRYING TO LOCK IF WE GO BELOW AND ABOVE 9MPH. WE HAVE DISABLED THE AUTO LOCK AND AUTO UNLOCK FEATURES NOW THE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER WON'T STAY LOCKED. EVER. IF YOU USE THE REMOTE, MASTER KEY, OR PHYSICALLY TRY TO LOCK THAT DOOR, IT UNLOCKS ITSELF WITHIN A SECOND. VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND IS USED TO TRANSPORT TWO TODDLERS. THE DOOR ALSO WON'T OPEN NOW SO WE CAN'T ENGAGE CHILD LOCK. THE DOOR DOESN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT HONDA ACTUATORS. DEALERS CHARGE 400-700 FOR ONE. OUR OTHER CAR, A HONDA PILOT HAD TO HAVE ALL 4 REPLACED LAST YEAR, AND 1 ALREADY STOPPED WORKING. CHECK OUT YOUTUBE AND OTHER FORUMS. THANK YOU! *TR

DOOR LOCKS REMAIN UNLOCKED OR LOCKED. IN ONCE CASE REAR RIGHT DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHETHER YOU DO IT MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS LEAVING CHILDREN EXPOSED TO UNSAFE CONDITION WHERE THE DOOR MAY OPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION IF THEY PLAYED WITH THE DOOR HANDLE. A WEEK LATER, FRONT RIGHT DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK AT ALL WHETHER YOU DO IT MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. IN AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION, ONE CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOOR TO ESCAPE THE VEHICLE IN AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. TO ME BOTH OF THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I AM GOING TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT TAKE A LOOK, BUT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BY RECALLING THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM. *TR

ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING MY 2008 HONDA CRV AND THE DOORS LOCK, THEY BEGIN TO UNLOCK AND SLOWLY RE-LOCK. VERY OFTEN IT CONTINUES TO UNLOCK AND RE-LOCK FOR MOST OF THE TRIP BEFORE REMAINING LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY SINCE I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD WHO RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOORS UNLOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM ALSO WORRIED THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK ONCE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED WHICH CAN CAUSE ME TO BECOME A VICTIM OF VEHICLE THEFT OR DAMAGE. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCKS. SIMPLY ALL DOORS ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY ITSELF WHILE IN MOTION. ADDITIONALLY RIGHT REAR DOOR CANT EVER BE LOCKED LEAVING ALL VALUABLE UNPROTECTED AT ALL TIMES. WHEN PRESSING LOCK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE ALL DOORS LOCK EXCEPT THE RIGHT REAR WHICH LOCKS AND QUICKLY UNLOCKS BY ITSELF. THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING AND UNACCEPTABLE SINCE CANT BE SURE ANYMORE IF CAR IS LOCKED OR NOT WITHOUT CHECKING ALL THE DOORS. THIS SIMPLY LEAVES MY HONDA OPEN TO ANYBODY. HAVING SAID THAT AFTER OWNING 6 HONDAS I AM STARTING TO NOTICE DIFFERENT BRANDS MORE AND MORE SINCE NOTHING REALLY EVER GETS RECALLED AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINS FROM MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS. FIXING SUCH PROBLEMS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AS WELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I SAW ALL MY DOOR GETTING UNLOCKED BY ITSELF. SINCE THAN I HAVE THIS ISSUE. ALL DOOR LOCKS RANDOMLY LOCK/UNLOCK AND WITH THE KIDS ON BACK THIS IS NOT SAFE. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA BUT FLATLY TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW ANY ISSUE AND SINCE IT IS OVER 36000 MILE, NO HELP. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR GETTING LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AUTOMATICALLY, AFTER FEW DAYS I NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER DOOR AS WELL. BOTH DOOR LOCKS MAKING NOISE AND UNLOCK AND LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. IF I LOCK DRIVER SIDE DOOR, PASSENGER DOOR GETS UNLOCKED. NOT RESPONDING TO REMOTE FOB. NOW, I AM MANAGING THE LOCKS BY MANUALLY LOCKING DRIVER SIDE DOOR. SPOKE TO HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH BOTH ACTUATOR IN BOTH DOORS AND IT WOULD COST ME 270 + 250 (520 DOLLARS). PART IS ACTUALLY 70 DOLLAR BUT LABOR IS 200 DOLLAR FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND 180 DOLLAR FOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE WEB FOR 2007 AND 2008 HONDA CR-VS . IT IS SOMETHING MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THESE MODELS. I AM FEELING UNSAFE EVERYDAY I DRIVE. I MIGHT HAVE TO SPEND 500 BUCKS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE FACT THAT WORRYING ME MORE IS, MANY VEHICLE OWNERS COMPLAINED THAT PROBLEM WILL BE REPEATED AFTER SOMETIME AND AGAIN I HAVE TO SPEND 500 DOLLARS. *JS

MY LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ME INITIATING IT. AT A LATER DATE, I WAS LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR AND NEITHER THE REMOTE NOR THE ACTUAL LOCK ON MY DOOR WOULD UNLOCK FOR ME TO GET IN THE CAR. NOW MY LOCKS ARE MAKING A REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN I TRY TO LOCK AND/OR UNLOCK THE CAR. *TR

DOORS WILL UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE PARKED AND SECURED. *TR

THE POWER DOORS ON THE 2008 HONDA CR-V HAVE STOPPED OPERATING. WE HAVE BECOME LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ALSO THE LOCKS RANDOMLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DANGER INVOLVED AND THE FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS WHEN LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR IS TREMENDOUS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR ACTUATORS ON THE HONDA CR-V WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA FOR REPAIR AND ADVISED STAFF OF THE ONLINE INFORMATION THEY INDICATED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THEY EVER READ THE ONLINE INFORMATION AND WERE AWARE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE LOCK ACTUATOR; AGAIN THEY PLED IGNORANCE. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT COST ME THE $50. CO-PAY AND ALSO THE RETURN OF OVER $840 FOR USING THE WARRANTY FOR THE REPAIR. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM LIVID! THE POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE FAILED BEFORE IT WAS A YEAR OLD AND NOW THE ACTUATORS. I HOPE HONDA FINALLY COMMITS TO A RECALL ON THE DOOR LOCKS, THEN I INTEND TO SEEK AN ATTORNEY'S ASSISTANCE IN RECOVERY OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY REBATE. PLEASE MAKE ALL OWNERS AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM, PARTICULARLY IF THEY HAVE CHILDREN OR PETS TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT STAY OPEN WHEN I USE REMOTE OR KEYLESS ENTRY OR UNLOCK IT MANUAL ON DRIVERS DOOR.... MY STEP SON HAD AN EMERGENCY IN MAY WHERE HE COULDN'T GET IN OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND MANY FOLKS ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THEIR HONDA CRV VEHICLE. THIS IS UNSAFE. WHEN I LEAVE AND LOCK VEHICLE , THE PASSENGERS SIDE LOCK STICKS AND STAYS OPEN SOMETIMES TO. IF SOMEONE WERE TO BREAK IN MY CAR AND CHECK THAT DOOR ALL MY BELONGING WOULD BE GONE. *TR

DOOR LOCKS IN VEHICLE KEEP ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE EACH TIME THE CAR STOPS AND STARTS AND REACHES 15 MPH EVEN WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY LOCKED. OCCASIONALLY, THE LOCKS ATTEMPT TO LOCK EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 15 MPH.. *TR

PASSAGE DOOR LOCK AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK NO MATTER AT STOP OR DRIVING. PAID MONEY TO FIX AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK BAD. *TR
