Front passenger lock jamming. Power steering reservoir bubbling and making a whirring noise.
2008 Honda CR-V electrical complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 218, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driver side rear locks periodically unlock on their own. The driver's actuator was replaced via recall. Dealer refused to replace other actuators claiming that recall has expired.
The passenger door lock actuator is malfunctioning. The door makes a loud sound as it cycles between lock and unlock, every time the doors are locked or unlocked. Sometimes it will not lock. Sometimes it will lock. Sometimes it is hard to unlock. It makes awful noises every time I lock the doors. The driver's door was doing the same. Honda corrected the problem in the driver's side door recently for free while the driver's side takata airbag inflator was replaced. However, honda refuses to cover the cost of the malfunctioning passenger side lock actuator which also presents a hazard if all locks do not unlock easily during an emergency. Honda issued a technical service bulletin in 2015 extending the warranty to cover these. But, there was no problem with the passenger locks at the time so no repairs was needed. This is a known issue for the honda cr-v. If they cover replacement for one, they should cover replacement for the other for safety.
In 2008 honda cr-v, I have noticed since july 2016, that passenger door locks (front and rear) automatically unlock when vehicle is in motion. Also, when vehicle is parked, the driver is unable to lock the vehicle using key and no manual lock option is available. Discussed this proble m with honda dealer a few times and I was informed that there is no recall for passenger side door lock actuator problem. I had received a letter from american honda motor co., inc. In beginning of 2015, and made an appointment with honda dealer and at that time only driver side door lock was covered (not other three door locks). Dealer is stating that I must pay for diagonisis and repairs. Item 3 of letter I received from honda in 2015 did not specifically states: "if a door lock actuator on your cr-v malfunctions, you may be eligible to receive door lock actuator repairs under an extended warrenty without charge at an authorized honda dealer..." this is a serious safety concern since my ability to lock the car at all times (when required) is compromised due to malfunctioning parts installed in 2008 honda cr-v.
Rear driver-side door unlocks by itself immediately after being locked and will not stay in the locked position. Honda acknowledged that these door lock actuators were defective and issued a "product update" on the driver's door and extended the warranty 3 additional years on all other doors. The extended warranty has now expired and honda will no longer replace defective locks on any doors other than the driver's door. All door locks have the same problem, but they don't all fail at the same time or within the extended warranty period. Called honda and was told "there is nothing we can do for you."
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the odometer and fuel gauge readings fluctuated whenever the vehicle was in operation. In addition, the temperature gauge was inoperable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 217,000.
Recall came out for the driver's door lock because the door will not lock or cycles up and down when trying to lock the door. It was replaced but the same exact problem happened on the passenger side door lock. This is a safety hazard as the passenger door could not be opened. Was charged for replacement and honda service stated the passenger side door lock did not have a recall despite having the same problem as stated in the recall.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the electronic power control failed to lock the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was serviced under a manufacturer recall related to the electrical system. The key and key fobik battery were replaced, but the failure recurred and the vehicle failed to lock manually. In addition, after the vehicle was serviced per the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 16v346000 (air bags) and 16v061000 (air bags), the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Takata inflator: I.m a driver on my veicle this is the way I sustent my self. Working as "uber driver". My concern is about the safety isues for me and my pasangers.. I know thereis arecall for this veicle, therefore it would be required to takecare!. Also my windows power is allready making a big noise, on the doors locks, with the risk of shooting of at any time. On tuesday at 5:pm I got my kcar key look inside of the car wille it was on. Because the locks got lock by it self. Causing for me to call triple aaa. My veicle was on. At the parking lot of ralphs in the city of brea ca, 92821. By brea blvd, & imperial hwy. This is a safety issue.
Ever since I bought the car every time the weather gets hot and I have my AC on or try to start the car it turns off. Even when I'm driving he car turns off I have took it to mechanic shops and hey have ran it through the diagnostics and still cannot find the problem. I have change the battery,fuel pump, alternator, ignition switch, fuel relay, and gave it a tune up but still can't figure out why it turns off and honda says my car is fine but it's not! Please I need answers of why my car is doing this
Power door lock actuator not working. It does not lock at all.
Door lock malfunction 1. Doors wont lock with remote. 2.when you park car and turn off ignition it unlocks all 4 doors an you have to manualy lock them,but if you open drivers side door befor you shut off ignition it wont open other doors.it has many problems with locks its unsafe.
I had issues with the doorlock actuator on drivers side. I took it to dealer and they took care of it and assured me they were fixed once and for all. I have noticed that when I hit the lock for all the doors, the rear drivers side does not lock. Today, I was at the gas pump. Turned off my car, put it in park and the locks would not open. I had to manually open my driver side door.
Both front door actuators were recalled and I had fixed. The back doors aren't recalled, however my rear left actuator is not functioning. I feel that since the front was recalled and clearly malfunctioning in my car that the back should have also been recalled.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in a manufacturer's recall for the electrical door locks. The contact stated that the passenger side door locks were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the door locks were repaired under the manufacturer's recall. After the repairs were performed, the passenger side door locks initiated independently and the failure progressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer a second time and repaired, but the failure occurred. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 95,000.
I took vehicle in for safety recall last year on door lock actuator. Dealer told me my vehicle was not affected so nothing was done. Recall ended nov 7 2015 and now I am having serious issues with door locks. Doors lock immediately after unlocking whether using key fob, door lock on door, or when the doors self unlock when the car is stopped and put in park. The door unlocks as it is supposed to but immediately relocks all doors. Passenger unlocks their door and if they don't catch the latch to open the door quickly, it will automatically relock. I can't take my car to the carwash in fear that someone will lock my keys inside. Keys in ignition, engine on and I get out to close my gate, the doors relock. If I didn't hear it lock and shut my door, my car would be running in park with doors locked. Think if I had my grand children inside with the engine running and I can't get inside. This is a huge safety issue. This started happening regularly around january 2016 past the recall. To fix this myself will cost hundreds of dollars.
Electrical system or motor that controls doors locking and unlocking makes noises and sometimes does not lock the doors. Also, when I am driving drivers side doors in front and back lock and unlock them selves. ? 2 years ago I had to pay to have the passager side motor for the door locks repaired, now the drivers side is going out. I would like honda to fix this at no cost to me. Is there a recall for this?
I have key with door locks on it, when I unlock the car, it automatically locks again, without pushing the other button to lock it. Also, the A/C has been fixed 4 times and within a week , just blows out warm air, have taken to several mechanics, honda dealer/garage says they wont fix unless there is a recall

I own a 2008 honda cr-v. While the vehicle was stationary in my driveway and I attempted to lock all the doors. However, the left side rear door behind the driver's side did not lock. I think this will be a safety issue especially if I have young children as my passengers. Also, knowing that my car was locked already but not, there will be a potential danger of bad guys coming inside either to take valuable items or damage my car. I am planning to bring my car to the dealership to fix this problem but wondering if the charges would be covered by any service bulletins to give extended warranty. Please help to fix this problem as soon as possible. The approximate failure mileage was 88,408.
There was a loud banging sound and the air conditioner, which was on and working great, stopped blowing cold air. I researched the problem and found that this has been very common on honda cr-vs. From my experience and the four different failure modes that have been identified, it sounds like the AC compressor exploded or imploded and could have left shards of metal on the highway I was driving on. Two other failure modes of this problem include the clutch axle shaft shearing and the clutch itself melting. Here are the ridiculously high number of complaints that I've found within 15 minutes of researching: 1. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fldx1wvjqsc 2. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4ajblxnh2e 3.

I was traveling at low speed in a parking lot when I noticed that the engine had suddenly turned itself off. At that moment I noticed that the metal part of the ignition key had separated from the plastic key fob, and the plastic part, with the rest of my keys attached, had dropped to the floor of the car. After investigation, I saw that the small screw that holds the plastic and metal parts together had pulled through the thin slip of plastic to which it was attached. The engine apparently turns off if the key fob is not in close proximity to the ignition. This mechanism presumably has anti-theft functions, while also preventing anyone but honda from selling replicate keys. In this case it had the wholly undesired effect of shutting off the engine of a car in motion. In order to re-start the car, the parts had to be precariously jammed back together, and I was forced to drive home with the fear that they would again re-separate and cause the engine to turn off. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to take the key out of the ignition when the car is in gear, but under this apparently unanticipated failure mode, if the key fob experiences a sudden structural failure, the engine does turn itself off. This situation represents a safety hazard because of the risk that the car will abruptly lose both engine power and power steering. I was in a parking lot when this happened, but if I had been traveling at highway speed, or in traffic, the situation could have been very dangerous. It seems reasonable for the key fob to be required to start the engine, but once the engine is running, loss of the signal from the fob should not result in the engine turning off.
Door locks. When unlocking doors they lock right back.
All door locks will lock themselves after being unlocked and unlock after being locked. It doesn't matter if it is unlocked by the remote, the door key or the interior locks. The locks will also cycle when either proceeding from a stop or when you begin braking.
Rear passenger door lock does not operate correctly. It will stick in the locked or unlocked position. If it is unlocked, it will repeatedly try to unlock when driving about 10 MPH.
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.
Electronic door lock solenoid has a mind of its own, locks me in the car and also out of the car, and I have the key fab. Also makes a horrible noise.
I first noticed the problem on 8/21/14. After starting the car and putting it in drive, the door locks activated a few seconds after the car started moving, as they normally do. About a minute later I had to come to a stop. When the car started moving, the rear door locks cycled again. This would happen every time the car would start to move again from a stop. I reached my destination and exited the car, locking the doors with the honda remote. A second after the doors locked, I heard a faint click from the rear driver side door, as if someone had operated the lock button from the inside. I checked the door handle and the rear door opened. I checked the drivers door and it was still locked. I hit the door locks again with the key remote and checked to make sure it was physically locked. When I came out in the morning, I checked the door, and found it unlocked. I checked the drivers door and it was still locked. This started as a intermittent problem, but is now approaching almost a continuous event. I can't have passengers in the back seat because I can't be sure the doors will stay closed in case of an accident, and I fear that the car is now exposed to theft because it's easy to access regardless of the other doors, or the alarm. This is now affecting my safety and my security. Please have honda fix this issue.
