Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2008 Honda CR-V

There is a violent shaking feeling coming from the engine area along with a loud constant rattling sound coming from the same area. this happens when driving and when stationary. the dealership said it was a tensioner (?) arm and charged me $580. the sound persists and is worse when the air conditioner is running. also the back seat passenger side lock makes a loud buzzing noise when locked or unlocked.

Rear window motors not working properly and making noises randomly

When car doors lock it makes a loud noise and driver door does not lock. i feel that this is a defect in locks/sensors. it is very unsafe to have a car that does not lock.

The driver side rear door and trunk cannot be unlocked. there is no response when i try to unlock the doors with the remote. the door also does not open when i try to unlock the door manually. this is definitely a life threatening safety issue in case of an emergency escape becoming necessary.

My battery went dead and the panel for the radio, gps and sirius is off now. the panel is asking for a code number and i don't know it. can you please help me out? thank you very much. it was parked at my home.

Vehicle shut off while driving on highway. had it towed for service. the main computer turned out to be defective and had to be replaced. very expensive. mileage was about 91,000 miles when this occurred. no computer was in stock so replaced with a used computer that was reprogrammed for my vehicle.

Front passenger side door lock keeps locking itself. when drivig off said door lock sounds like the wiring is shorting out.

Locks lock and unlock on their own at random intervals regardless of vehicle moving or stationary. locks make horrible loud grinding and clicking sounds.

Crv was in park, turned on ignition, closed driver door and went around to back door to get something from the back seat; car locks locked when i closed door. we had to jimmy the car lock open while car was on. now, one of the back locks sounds like a machine gun when we lock the car with the fob or when the locks close themselves after reaching a certain speed.

Rear left door keeps locking and unlocking itself while in motion, unlock itself when parked.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda cr-v. while the vehicle was stationary, the door actuator failed and a strange noise was heard when the front driver's side door was opened. the contact also heard a buzzing noise coming from the front driver's side door when it was locked with the key fob. an independent mechanic and thelen honda (1020 north euclid avenue, bay city, michigan 48706, (989) 671-1150) were made aware of the failure. the dealer indicated that the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall in 2015. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 158,000.

Rear left door lock actuator malfunction. doesn't locks the door

The door lock actuator on the passenger side of the car is malfunctioning. it causes the door not to lock. whenever the brakes is applied the locking mechanism clicks back and forth while driving and parked.

The door lock cycles constantly from lock to unlock and most importantly, after parking and locking the car, i found the trunk does not lock.

The ignition doesn't want to turn over. one would think the battery is dead, but it isn't. usually takes several tries. this is when car is stationary. just started doing this recently.
