In 2010 the locks on the two front doors and left rear passenger door stopped responding to the electronic signal at about the same time. All three actuators were replaced. The vehicle has not had extensive usage since then but in december 2013 problems developed again with the locks - with two new doors and one repeating door. The rear right passenger door lock, the trunk/hatch lock, and for a second time the driver's front door do not work correctly. The rear right passenger door has no external key lock and does not respond to the electronic signal. It must be locked and unlocked manually from the interior of the car using the lock button on that door. The driver's door responds to an electronic signal but a key cannot be inserted into the lock. The trunk lock does not respond to a signal and a key can only be inserted into the lock if the car is locked and then unlocked via the driver's side control button located on the door. It seems unusual that all three doors would begin experiencing difficulties at the same time - with one door that had already had an actuator replaced being one of the three problem doors. Why can the control lock button on the driver's door affect the ability to place a key in the trunk/hatch lock? Has honda issued a safety bulletin or recall on this issue? There seems to be a lot of lock concerns being posted on car forums concerning the crv lock issue. Is this a safety issue?

Door lock does not work with the remote or manual key. Door locks sporadically move up and down with out touching door lock switches. I spent $300.00 on genuine honda parts and had my mechanic install a new actuator and lock mechanism, and the problem is exactly the same. I want to take the car to honda and ask for a total reimbursement and a final repair. I am surprised there has not been a recall on this particular problem because of the number of complaints about the key locks on these models. A local television station ( with a problem solving segment recently covered this problem.) can you please help me in any way?

Afriend told me the hood looked like it wasn't latched on my 2002 honda crv. I checked it and it was completely open. I could pick up the hood and look under it. I had not opened it since my oil change at the dealer a couple of months before. I'm the only driver and I always keep it locked so no one else could have gotten to the latch. I took it to the dealer and they say nothing is wrong with it. Now I'm almost afraid to drive it. I had been on the freeway just before it was noticed.

We own a 2002 honda cr-v (VIN [xxx]) with 30,000 miles on it. My wife - who is the primary driver of the car - filled up the windshield washer reservoir on monday (12/1/03) afternoon. This is routine; she checks the oil on occasion as well, and has done so with every vehicle we have ever owned. As she has done on many other occasions, she dropped the hood closed from the height of about a foot, and used two hands to try to pull up on it. There was no play. She visually checked the fender-hood fit on both sides and it was correctly positioned. A few hours later she was driving at fifty miles an hours when the hood popped fully open. Fortunately she was able to stop without further incident. We contacted the nearest honda dealer - bedard brothers of cheshire ma; they examined the vehicle and although the mechanic said he thought that there was excessive play in the latch mechanism, they refused to acknowledge any mechanical defect or design flaw. In other words, it was not their problem. I wrote a letter to honda but they stonewalled me by saying that the dealer had found no problems. I was told to take it to a different dealer, but this would mean wasting most of a day since there are no other dealers close by. Moreover, I am not convinced that I will hear anything different from another dealer. I am convinced, however, that the hood was shut as securely as it was humanly possible to determine, and that there is a design flaw in the crv hood latch mechanism. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
