Hello I-??m [XXX] and own a 2008 Honda CRV that runs fine. VIN [XXX], but previous owner never went to the recall and I bought the car in 2014 and recently, during a brake job, I first became aware of the problem when my mechanic alerted me to the recall situation and the rusting out that was putting drivers in a very dangerous situation. My car failed the recall because of the rust causing the degradation of the rear suspension trailing arm, and now I'm left with a car not fit to drive" and I would be liable for whatever happens but I was never offered a solution to buy the car back something to help and I cannot be without one to get to Dr-??s or buy food live rural I have no choice living alone at [XXX] need a car. So a question, why am I the problem? when, in the first place, the car was dangerous from the manufacturer to the rusting out situation which was actually life threatening, lose steering, the wheel could collapse or the frame itself, and again, never offered any help at all some compensation, nothing? Just drive it home with the burden of the liability etc. I-??m on a Fixed income of only $800 a month how am I to survive living rural without a car at my age? Please, I need some help. Why am I being punished when the design itself, as I said, created the dangerous problem and just that's it" Appreciate help from someone.

Several of the door locks on our 2008 CRV will automatically unlock after locking the car when parked making it an easy target for theft. And when the car is running and in Park, several of the door locks will not unlock making it extremely difficult to let someone into the car.
The doors keep locking and locking during driving. This is a major safety concern for minor children and safety when car is in motion. And the door locks don-€™t stay locked when parked. There for my car is open to theft and I am not safe nor are my minor children in the car.

The paint seal never worked or was out in. I-€™m in the Midwest and it-€™s freezing. The car can-€™t warm up because all the heat goes through roof where paint is all worn off. It makes you freeze and sick.
Rear-door passenger actuators have stopped working one at a time. Honda dealership refused to perform the repaire free of charge. However there was a lawsuits in 2021(?) to have Honda cover the charges free of cost to customers!
When attempting to lock the doors with either the key fob or from inside the vehicle, the back door locks stay open. The front passenger door also makes a loud buzzing noise but stays locked. This is an issue when the auto lock function kicks in after every stop sign or red traffic light. I don-€™t want to leave the car in public spaces for fear of someone entering my vehicle unbeknownst to me. The original vehicle owner had no recollection of any correspondence, by mail or otherwise, related to the 2007-2011 Honda C-RV recalls for this issue.
Failure of all Door Locks. I purchased my 2008 Honda CRV new in 2008. While driving all door locks move up and down or open and close and cannot be locked or open with the remote device. After checking on line, I see there have been recalls of similar problems with this model. I called First Honda in Simi Valley, CA and was told there was a recall but not for my 2008 Honda. This is for sure a safety problem which amazes me when companies that build these cars have so many problems. I understand that if I need to repair the five locks it will cost me over a $1000. I am a senior citizen with limited income and cannot afford a new car so I am between a rock and a hard place. If there is a recall out there, please let me know so I can get this problem fixed. Thank you

The door locks are not functioning properly or consistently as many prior complaints stated. The doors can not be secured at all times, even when vehicle was moving.
While I was standing, both feet on the ground, outside the car, with the car door open and car motor off, in park, about to go in my house. My car went in reverse, all by itself, knocked me to the ground and ran over my foot/ankle/leg and put me in the hospital for over a week. I have a plate and at least eleven screws in my leg from the operation. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I will need physical therapy. Soon I go back to see the surgeon and get more X-rays, I presently am in a cast. This was/is a most surprising, shocking, painful, depressing and unexpected situation. I do not wish this on anyone! especially since none of this was my fault and due to negligence on the car design, Honda !!!
The arm mount failed while driving. This has been recalled in Canada but not in the us. I just purchased this the car was in good shape with a valid inspection and could have caused severe harm had we been driving quickly. We were driving 15 miles mph as we were in a residential area. The arm gave out.
Safety recall concern - the doors do not stay locked when car is at a standstill/in motion. When driving they intermittently lock/unlock. I brought this concern to the attention of my mechanic, who informed me that (2) actuators - (1) back & (1) front - need to be replaced, I purchased the vehicle from a used car lot about a year & a half ago. I recently learned that a recall pertaining to this problem was issued 6/30/15. According to NHTSA website, there are 0 unrepaired recalls on my vehicle. Am I ineligible for this recall simply because I'm not the original owner of the vehicle? I'm a female and would like to feel safe while driving around alone in my vehicle. This is impossible to do when the doors simply unlock on their own.
I have been having issues with the locks on my 2008 Honda CRV. It started on the passenger side of my car. It initially would not stay locked. I contacted the dealer and they advised no recalls. After about 6 months it started working again. Then about another 6 months it quit again. (weather related?). now that lock stays locked all the time. We are not able to unlock it...not even manually. About a year later the rear passenger lock wasn't locking correctly. I contacted the dealer again and they couldn't help me. Now the rear drivers side lock does not work properly. It sounds like a machine gun going off everytime the car hits the 10 mph. I have contacted the dealer and advised no recalls. I was quoted $800 to have them repaired. (lock actuators?) I cant believe this is happening only to my car. By the locks not working is a safety issue for myself and kids. I have teenage daughters and a granddaughter. It they encounter any danger and are not able to lock or unlock the doors is a major safety issue. Now my granddaughter wont ride in the car because it sounds like a machine gun. I have not had any issues with the driver side lock. I can't really submit any pictures because they will not show the issues. I bought this car brand new and know the history. This is my 2nd Honda CRV and I loved them until now. I cant believe I am the only one having this issue.
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.
Air condition is not workinge while vehucle is running, it blowes hot air only. Frayon gas is full, but still no cold air. I heared there was a recall for air condition system, is that true.
