Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The door locks failed to lock unless a key was used which would only work on the front doors. The key would no longer unlock the doors unless it was manually. The rear back door would not lock under any circumstances. This jeopardized the safety of my car, and myself. I went to apple tree Honda where I purchased the car. They did not let me know that this had been a recurrent problem on other cars. They charged me $587.50 to replace all the locks.”
NHTSA complaint #10649975, filed 2014-10, 98,000 miles“The lock actuator in both my driver's side door and the rear driver's side door went out. I spent well over $500 in repairs. It affected all my doors. They could not be locked/unlocked with the keyless entry nor with the power locks button inside my car. My doors had to be manually locked and unlocked. This seems to be a very common problem in the CR-V. The Honda dealership admitted to me that this happens frequently, but corporate has yet to issue a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10499363, filed 2013-02, 65,000 miles“The electronic door opener locked the car even when keyes in ignition. I was locked out of the car twice with the keyes in the ignition, and on several occasions I was unable to open driver side door, and had to exit vehicle from passenger door. Dealer replaced locking mechanism.”
NHTSA complaint #10356572, filed 2010-09, 70,000 miles“The driver side power lock cannot be locked or unlocked on the driver side with my key button. I have to manually lock and unlock the driver side door with my key. The rest of the locks work fine with the key button.”
NHTSA complaint #10491998, filed 2013-01, 62,000 miles“The clip holding my floor mat in place broke causing my mat to ride up over the gas pedal. This caused the brake pedal to accelerate. The vehicle was involved in a car accident due to this clip breaking.”
