Door locks on 2013 honda crv are not working. sometimes they work soooo well...i can't even unlock the door !!!! and sometimes they don't work at all. in the process of replacing actuators,,,,have replaced 4 of 5 doors. each replacement is about $200-$250. i learned through research that recall was in effect for crv from 2007-2011. obviously, honda hasn't solved the problem.

Driver's door lock makes a loud rattle upon locking, sounds like a machine gun. rear left door can only be manually locked or unlocked, does not work with the remote or will not lock or unlock automatically.

I got into my car and because the weather was nice, i turned off the air conditioner and lowered the back windows. i entered the interstate highway, and when my speed reached 40 mph, a loud roar came from the back of the car and the back started shaking and vibrating. i was scared and pulled off the road. i thought the suspension or the wheels/tires had failed. i made a visual inspection and could see no problem. a honda dealer was near, so i slowly drove to their service bay. when i told my problem to a woman at the service desk she immediately told me that it was a compression problem that all of these vehicles had when the back windows were down. i asked if the salespersons were supposed to tell the customer about this problem and she said no.

A rodent built a nest in the blower motor of our 2013 honda cr-v. the rodent nest affected the operation of the motor, and caused rodent contaminated air to be circulated throughout the cabin. this health hazard could have been avoided by installing screening that would prevent rodents from entering the blower motor. the screening is technologically and economically feasible for honda motor company, ltd. ("honda"). in addition to the safety hazard, honda refuses to cover, under warranty, service and repairs for blower motor damage caused by infiltrating rodents despite the design defect. after reviewing complaints available on the internet, it appears that there are many consumers that have been similarly affecting by the design defect, and by honda's unwillingness to take responsibility for the defect. *tr

on 2/10/2014, around 8:50 am est i was alone and driving to the office when my car skidded and i lost control. due to the momentum the car had gained, it went into a free spin. though this car is equipped with awd and abs, it still could not correct the skid and went out of control. it dashed against a tree on the pathway from the passenger side. this impact resulted in driver side air bags to deploy, however it exploded instead of inflating. this incident has resulted in injuries to my hand, neck and back. recently i have heard recalls from honda related to faulty air bags, however did not find any open recalls for my vehicle...updated 02/25/15 *bf updated 9/22/2017*cn

I was involved in an accident in philadelphia, pa on january 18, 2015 due to ice on highways. i slid into one car and got hit by another car. my car is currently in a repair shop. i received a call that the car can be fixed, however i need to know how safe is the car since i received so much damage to the car and the air bags never deployed. *tr

When the weather is cold, my cargo lift will not open. i have taken my vehicle in to the local dealership and they pretty much thought i was crazy. even my husband can't get the lift to open when the weather is cold.
