2008 Honda CR-V: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jul 8, 2023 · Suspension · TN

I thought I needed new brakes put on because my brakes sounded like they were grinding and they were going to the floor so I had new brake pads out on but my Mechanic said the brake pads were fine he replaced them anyways. I went to have an oil change and a different mechanic said that I needed and alignment but my entire back end frame was rusted and corroded. He said if I got an alignment my back end would collapse because the suspension is bad. When I go to brake my brakes go to the floor so I'm guessing thats from the suspension being messed up. He said it's not safe to drive

My vehicle had the recall of the door locks completed but it has started the same problems again. Doors locking and unlocking at random while driving. Door unlocking once I have got out of the vehicle at a store and I have no idea for how long. Front and Back doors on the driver side is now making a grinding and loud popping noise when locking/unlocking the doors. The back gate tells me it is ajar but is not. The doors may or may not let you out of the car once you have arrived at your destination and placed the vehicle in park. The unlock button does not seem to help this problem. You must move the gear shifter back and forth and finally you can exit the vehicle. SAFETY ISSUE. Another recall needs to done for this issue.

Ongoing problem from when I purchased the cr-v in 2010. Many times when shifting into reverse there is an loud, audible clunking as the gears grind. I've been parked next to other cr-v's and noticed the same noise as the cr-v is put into reverse. This must be a common problem. Also the doors were locking and unlocking on their own while I was driving, and I had to have the lock mechanisms on all 4 passenger doors replaced. Lastly there is an annoying whistling noise in the duct work for the heat and A/C. I have to keep the recycle button on to somewhat diminish it.

For a while, the door lock system locks and unlock continuously while driving. I have taken the car to the dealership but was told nothing is wrong. This morning, the car cannot be unlocked with the key or the remote. When I push the lock or unlock button, a grinding noise can be heard coming from the driver door.

In april of this year (2013), the 2008 honda crv-ex that I purchase certified, pre-owned in october 2012, began having problems with the door locks. As I was driving, the locks would automatically unlock and lock themselves every time I came to a stop and started driving again. The problem stopped after a few days, then a few weeks later, started occurring again. Before I called to have it checked, it stopped, but then I would hear a squealing sound immediately after the doors were locked upon acceleration. All of these issues stopped, but then about a week ago (july 2013), both doors on the passenger side started relocking themselves within 3 seconds of being unlocked by either the key fob or from the driver side door. They cannot be locked or unlocked manually, even with auto lock off. They also cannot be opened from the inside by the passenger. This is a serious safety issue for my child, who would not be able to open his door and exit immediately in the case of an emergency. In addition to this problem, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light is on permanently on my dashboard. According to the dealer technician I spoke with, this means the TPMS has stopped communicating with the sensors on at least one of my tires. This is a hazard in that I could have dangerously low tire pressure and would not know it, which could lead to a blow out at high freeway speeds. This same technician reported he has seen "quite a few" 2007 and 2008 crvs coming in with this issue. I can work around this issue by frequently checking tire pressure myself, but it remains that I should not have to do this, when I paid for a vehicle that should be doing it for me.

Left passenger door lock when lock or unlocked makes a loud grinding noise. Front drivers door will not unlock with manual key. I have seen many reports of same on this website. I believe this is a major issue that needs addressed by honda. Honda has no service recalls , but it looks like they did in 2006 ?
