We have classified the 3 complaints from 2008 Honda CR-V about STRUCTURE into the following categories.
Front passanger door lock will briefly unlock then on its own lock itself. you have to force the door lock open just to get out and once the lock opens it slowly locks itself. the key fob and lock switch will briefly unlock the latch. (we do have factory installed alarm). my wife also noticed dome light no longer coming on (might just be dead bulb). this could be a huge issue in an accident if passenger or emergency personal are unable to open door due to lock always locking itself. a lot of force is needed to unlock the door. it seems like the door actuator is getting a lock signal and staying in the locked position. again you can momentarily manually force the door lock open and with the switch/keyfob. recent repairs: we did recently replace the car battery because the car lost electrical power (car would not start). we also just replaced the ac/heater blower motor because when the hvac was powered on we heard very loud whirling/clicking noise. we also just changed all four struts because they were leaking but no electrical was touched during this repair. *tr
In august of 2012, the right rear door lock would not stay locked. we had the faulty part replaced. now in june of 2013, we are having problems with the right front door lock. it began by not staying unlocked. when unlocked the door by ( any method), the lock would only stay unlocked for less than a second before relocking on its own. now the problem has changed to where the door will not stay locked as in the problem door lock from last year. the door continues to try to lock each time the vehicle reaches the speed that the doors lock automatically. *tr
When backing out of an unpaved parking area i hit a large ponderosa pine tree with the rear bumper. the bumper absorbed the impact with a small scratch to the bumper cover. upon impact, the car was no longer in my control for it lurched forward about 40 feet into the parking space i had left and hit another large tree with the center of the car. the car accelerated forward so quickly i do not recall when the airbag deployed. immediately after the collision all four wheels continued spinning and dug small depressions in the dirt until the engine stopped. i had no control over the vehicle after backing into the tree. i suffered bruised ribs and a severe burn to my hand from the airbag. a sheriff assessed the accident and called an ambulance to assess my condition and i did not require hospitalization. there was significant damage (estimated $11,000) to the front of the car. this was my first accident and i'm concerned that my honda cr-v is unsafe for the above reason. *jb
I was at a dead stop when i was rear ended from a lady travelling about 50 i was wondering if my air bags should have gone off i am suffering from neck and back injuries from this accident and i feel my vehicle should have been totalled they fixed it paying 10,600 to the repair place and it still doesnt look right. *js
A few weeks before my 36 month warranty was up, my door actuator went out in the left rear door. it was replaced and worked fine until recently 18 months later it seems the same door actuator has gone out. i am taking it in to be replaced for over $200 which is a bit much for a limited income. the door is worse now than before in that it keeps cycling locking and unlocking as i'm driving. i think honda should replace for free as it is obviously defective from what i have read online. *tr

I have a 2008 cr-v ex with sun roof from honda. the car can not be driven over 25 miles per hours with one of the rear windows open. over 50 miles per hours the noise is so bad that the car is shaking and the ear are hurting. i believe it can easily injure someone ear and it should be addressed. when i bought the car no one tell me i will not be able to drive my car with the rear windows open except if i open the front windows. i have a child of 2 1/2 years old and i have to make sure the windows are lock so it does not open it due to the risk of injure of his ear. honda should fix the issues and recall all the model with the sun roof. i just both the car and find about this issue on the 12-08-2008 but the problem will not go away. i when to honda and they test another cr-v with the same result. *tr
