| Description of the problem | On march 21, 2012, i took my2008 honda crv for service . My power door locks were malfunctioning.. They would constantly lock and un lock as i was driving. They would be clicking lock and unlock , dealer claimed i needed an actuator assembly at the cost of app. $250. I naturally had it repaired as it was a serious safety concern, since my small grandsons are in the back. On july 10, 2013 i returned with the identical door lock problem. Since i had driven more than 12,000 miles since the last repair , this was repair was not covered under warranty. After expressing my dissatisfaction, the dealer supposedly called honda directly and honda agreed to pay half of repair costs. My cost -$87. 00. Since it was a major safetyconcern for me, i agreed. Guess what? Two days later the same problem with the door locks re occurred. They are constantly clicking open and closed. When i called the dealer they told me it's probably an underlying electrical problem. I am reluctant to spend anymore on this apparently unfixable issue, but it is a serious safety issue, especially when young children and infants are required by law to be in the backseat. Judging by the number of complaints on this website i would like to see the nhtsa pressure honda motors to assume responsibility for this electrical malfunction. |
