| Description of the problem | My 2008 honda crv in 2010 began having problems with the rear door lock and then the hatch lock. When i put the rear door lock into child safety mode and took it off child safety mode, the door lock would not unlock. It kept locking and i would have to manually press down on the lock button in order to open the door from the outside. I took it to a honda car dealership service dept. And was told it was the actuator and it happens often to honda vehicles and it would cost me $380 to repair it even thought the part i was told was actually only $80 dollars. To me and to everyone else this has happened to, this is obviously a manufacturer's defect if it happens often to honda vehicles. I refused the repair because it was very expensive. Later in a few weeks, my hatch would not unlock unless the defective rear door lock was also unlocked. Now, it is 2014 and as of friday, 2/28/14, all my locks are now locking immediately after i used my automatic door unlock on my key fob. I can't even get into my car unless i'm quick about it before it locks on me again. Then when i want to get out of my car and the door unlocks, before i can even open the door to get out of my car, all the locks lock up again without my having done anything. This is a safety hazard for me and my family. The door locks are defective and honda should take responsibility to fix these defects. Here is the link to arfc. Org which has a list of complaints by other honda crv owners having the same defective issues: http://www. Arfc. Org/complaints/2008/honda/cr-v/latches_locks_linkages/problem. Aspx. Is it necessary for honda driver or their children or other family member go to their grave until this defect is addressed? I urge the nhtsa board to read all the complaints and take action to make honda set a recall for this defect so that honda crv and other honda vehicle owners are safer on the road. |
