Rodents caused extensive damage to my car causing over $4,000 worth of damage to my car. My insurance covered most of the cost and I only had to pay $500 deductible. Rodents also caused damage to my home which was also very expensive. I had to have my attic insulation replaced, my dishwasher needs to be replaced and numerous kitchen plumbing problems.

Automatic door locks have failed on numerous occasions. All 4 doors are affected at different times, but dealer could only replicate one door failure. I am reporting only the most recent failure date but this has been intermittent problem for 3 years.
- Scarsdale, NY, USA
This car has killed 6 batteries in 5 years. The dealer just keeps saying everything is fine, but it frequently needs jump starts and battery replacements. There is no pattern as to weather conditions, just frequent failures at different times of year. I am reporting the most recent occurrence, but it has happened many times in 5 years. My son has been stranded many times.

Rear passenger door lock (left side). Door will not lock, either manually or with key fob. Might be a problem with the actuator. Rear door lock started making some clicking noises (like it was stuck) the past month when all other doors would auto-lock. Now it no longer works and remains unlocked. This is a hazard with children in the back.

When I unlock my car with the key fob my door locks immediately by itself. Most recently my passenger side door will not lock. When I locked it with the key I was able to get it to stay locked. However when I returned to unlock my car I was locked out. No doors would unlock! I had to use the key fob and push unlock while the key was inserted in the lock. I can hear them clicking randomly while driving. There was S class action settlement but of course the deadline to make a claim was Nov of 2015. My locks just started this issue 2weeks ago. You would think if it's an issue for certain years and models that Honda would make it right!!

Door lock actuator failed: Key fob would only lock/unlock drivers door. Manual key lock/unlock on outside drivers door would only lock/unlock drivers door. Attempted to lock/unlock all doors using button on inside drivers door: Could only lock/unlock drivers door--no affect on other doors. Today, Honda dealer tested and then replaced door lock actuator: Problem persisted unaltered. Then more diagnostics showed: "diagnosed to find the unlock relay inside the micu is not providing power to unlock the remaining doors. The noisy driver front actuator, or any of the other 3 may have caused the issue in the relay. Orderd the under hood fuse relay box and customer will return."

The car was sitting on a hill, and I turned the key in the on position. I then turned the key to start, and the engine did not turn over, and the cab lost all power. So I took it to auto zone, and they said that nothing was wrong with it.

In may, 2014, the right rear power window quit working and would not go back up after having it completely down. I toggled the window switch a few times and the window eventually went back up, so I thought it was just a glitch. We live in Arizona where the summertime is very hot, so the window was never used again due to air conditioning. The window was used recently because the weather has cooled down from the summer heat. This time, toggling the switch did not work and the window stayed in the down position completely. I took the Honda CR-V to a local Honda dealership which diagnosed the issue as a faulty master power window switch. I've researched and discovered there have been numerous issues with faulty master power window switches on several different Honda models. There are several recalls affecting just under one million automobiles manufactured and there is a potential fire hazard according to Honda. The company's recall statement says, "water, rain, or other liquid may enter the driver's window and reach the master power window switch, resulting in impaired function of the switch...switch is damaged as a result of the liquid intrusion, it may result in failure of the switch and overheating...an overheating switch may cause smoke, melting or, potentially, fire." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into a fire hazard with the master power switch on the Honda Cr-vs. Also, [xxx], a Honda spokesman, said one person died in South africa in a fire attributed to the problem. It is apparent Honda still has not properly corrected the master power window switch issue. Please continue your investigation of this issue. Honda's engineers need to re-design the switch; it's housing, and replace all potential faulty master switches to ensure consumers safety from fire/death and financial responsibility.

On 15 November 2014 at 9:09pm my check engine light came on, I have a garmin gps hooked into my computer and this unit can read the diagnostic codes. The code for this check engine light occurrence was a (P2422). The problem I have with this is that this car is 3.5 years old and has 91K miles on it and this is the 6th (yes sixth) time for this failure. This code has to do with the emissions/fuel system. The car has been to 2 different dealerships to be resolved and is still not resolved. I am again taking it to the dealership for this occurrence but am running out of warranty and patience. This car has also been through 4 batteries, a water pump, fuel pump and all power steering components replaced. The message associated with code P2422 is "evaporative emission system vent valve stuck closed". is there anyone else out there fighting these issues that can give me any insight??

Within the last month, my 2011 CRV has had a recurring issue with the door lock. When I hit the unlock button, the driver's door remains locked and will only turn manually. Likewise, it will only lock manually. The other day I couldn't open my trunk because of the locking issue. Because of the unlocking, the sensors affected my dome light and my battery died after 3 years. I have read that this is a common problem, but no recalls yet. It doesn't make sense.
