Honda Cr-v Latches/locks/linkages Safety Report | Jan 01, 2013
Reported on Jan 01, 2013
| THE REAR, PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR BEGAN TO FAIL ON MY 2010 HONDA CRV IN THE LATER PART OF 2012 OR EARLY PART OF 2013. IT ORIGINALLY STARTED AS A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN I WOULD LOCK OR UN-LOCK THE DOOR AND ESCALATED TO A LOUD GRINDING/CLUNKING NOISE. THE LOCK ITSELF FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY, OFTEN STRUGGLING OR FAILING COMPLETELY TO LOCK AND/OR UNLOCK WITH THE KEY-FOB OR WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS SEEMED TO SPREAD TO THE REAR, DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LOCK, WHICH NOW HAS ALSO BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF FAILURE. A CERTIFIED HONDA MECHANIC HAS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM IS MOST LIKELY RESULTING FROM THE ACTUATOR(S) FAILING; HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME [ON THIS WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE], THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPLACING THE FAULTY PARTS WOULD FALL SOLELY ON ME. *TR | |
