This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. while the vehicle was stationary, all of the automatic door locks on the vehicle malfunctioned. The contact attempted to open the doors with a remote key, but they did not respond when prompted. The contact was able to enter the vehicle through the driver's door by using the manual key. The contact stated that the doors locked and unlocked repeatedly on their own while making a loud "machine gun-like" noise. In addition, the contact stated that the ignition switch malfunctioned by making a loud scratching noise when prompted. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure, but stated that there was no recall or extended warranty on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,398.
Headlamps blow out with frightening regularity; they last no more than 3-6 months. This is not due to contamination on the glass, as the blowout does not occur there. It may be a high voltage problem, as the headlamp socket has partially melted on several occasions as a result of a blowout. Both driver and passenger sides have been replaced with heavy duty/high temp sockets, and yet lamps continue to blow and have melted those. The blowouts have occurred both when the vehicle is stationary (starting) and while in motion. If both headlamps go out before you can replace the blown out one, then it becomes a potential cause of a night-time collision. If it was only an issue with headlights going out, that would be an expense worth managing for an otherwise solid car. But the melting of the socket and potential for additional shorts and arcing is troubling as it may lead to fire. Many CR-V owners have complained about and reported this very issue. NHTSA needs to force Honda to investigate and resolve this very, very common problem.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that the driver's side door lock actuator failed to function. The doors randomly unlocked without warning. The dealer replaced the part. The contact was uncertain if the failure would recur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 01/04/17 updated 02/13/17.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. the contact stated that the door actuator locks and unlocks while driving various speeds. The dealer diagnosed that the door actuator needed to be replaced on the passenger side. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

Door actuator recall. I had problems with my driver side door and it was replaced in March 2015, I had to have the passenger side door actuator replaced in October 2015, now the back doors and read door will not open and the actuator is the problem. Honda has stated they are not responsible since the recall has ended. The dealership will repair but I will be responsible for the bill which is significant. I feel that I have been duped by Honda. If they have a recall on a part then all defective parts from that supplier should be replaced. This is the same with the air bags. I just got the driver side replaced and now they told E I need the passenger side replaced. Please look into this. It is an unfair practice and they should replace all defective parts at one time on a recall instead piecing it out until their time frame ends.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda CR-V. the contact received a manufacturer recall for the door lock actuator and replaced the parts per the recall. A year later, the parts failed to function. The failure occurred with the rear passenger side door actuator and then the front passenger side door actuator failed later. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified. The contact called the manufacturer twice, was placed on hold several times, and then the call disconnected. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was not available.
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."

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.
