2002 Honda CR-V Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“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.”

“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. …”

“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. …”

“While I was driving my Honda CR-V on the highway with 65 mile/hr, the hood was poped up suddendly without any warning. The hood even flipped over entirely and hit the windshield. The hood smashed ino windshield so pwerfully, the windshield was totally damaged. Besides, the whole window view was blocked out entirely by hood, car was lost control on highway with 65 mile/hr for a few seconds.”

“The contact owns a 2002 Honda CR-V. The contact stated the doors failed to unlock from the drivers side door. The doors would only open when the key was inserted in the passenger side door. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,000.”
