2009 HONDA CR-V Electrical System Problems

My front passenger seat weight sensor is faulty and shows as "OFF" when a large passenger is in the seat. An independent service center has scanned and confirmed the faulty sensor. I see CRV recalls for both the sensors and airbags, but my VIN does not return a result.

The drivers side locks and unlocks by itself at random times, only way to stop it is to push the button, otherwise it will keep going.

Driver side seat warmer not working, back warmer works. Loud buzzing sound on passenger side every time I put the car in drive and when I lock my car.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda CR-V. The contact stated the clock and date were inoperable. The contact stated the clock was years ahead and the date was incorrect. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer but was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle not was repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

The locks on all the doors in my 2009 Honda CR-V EX have been randomly clicking on and off as I drive for the last 6 months. One day I parked the car and tried to open the door and it was locked and I could not unlock it from the inside, I re-inserted the key into the ignition and the alarm horn started sounding but I was able to open the door and exit the car. The internet shows that there was a class-action suit settlement for 2008-2011 regarding the door locks that expired in 2015. I contacted the dealership and they said since my VIN was not listed on their website, they would charge me $175.00 to diagnose the problem and then would let me know if they could fix it so I followed the dirctions on the web-site to file a complaint with NHTSA. @ the door locks randomly swtich on and off as the car is moving @ I transport my infant and toddler grandchildren in the car and am concerned about the car doors randomly unlocking @ I have not had the vehicle inspected by the dealership as they will charge me $175 for diagnosis but the problem seems to be a duplicate of the complaints I have seen on line regarding the Recall of 2008-2011 CRVs @ No warning of the problem was experienced prior to June 2022

Door locks will lock and unlock on their own. Sometimes the battery will go dead overnight because the doors lock and unlock hundreds of times overnight.

The passenger door won't open & the trunk won't open, like it's jammed. There is no key entry for the passenger or trunk. I feel this has the potential to be very dangerous.

Bottom Line Up Front: The service advisor at Chapman Honda here in Tucson told me this morning (16 Nov) that passenger door locks and hatchback locks that freeze in the locked position (and can NOT be opened by anyone inside or out) sometimes happen with older Hondas (over 10 years). Really? This is a VERY serious safety issue. If what the advisor said is true, then there are potentially many thousands of vehicles that need to be immediately recalled. Timeline: On 11 Nov 21, without any warning whatsoever, the door locks in our 2009 Honda CR-V froze in the locked position. Passenger door and hatchback. My wife has serious back issues and we are thankful this did not happen, for example, when I was driving her to a medical appointment. I immediately called Chapman Honda, Tucson and was able to set up a service appointment for 9:00am, Saturday, 13 Nov. 13 Nov: As soon as I drove the car into the service bay, the frozen locks "un-froze" and operated correctly. The service advisor said he would have the doors checked anyway. They lubricated the doors and I left the dealership. 15 Nov: On the way to pick up a handicapped friend to take her to lunch the same door locks froze AGAIN. Fortunately, it happened before her friend was picked up; she had to sit in the back seat. My wife was very worried her friend would be trapped in the back as well. That same afternoon my wife took the CR-V back to Chapman Honda and left it for overnight servicing. 16 Nov: The service advisor called to say door lock actuators in both front doors would have to be replaced. Cost: $952.05! (including a 10% veteran’s discount) For the greater good and safety of all “older” Honda CR-V owners, it would seem this door lock actuator issue merits investigation.

FAULTY DOOR LOCK ON DRIVER PASSENGER SIDE (LEFT SIDE). WHEN LOCKED, THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE ELECTRIC BUTTON. ADDITIONALLY, NONE OF THE OTHER DOORS WILL UNLOCK EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT. YOU MUST MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR TO OPEN UP THE OTHER DOORS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN LOCKING THE DOOR. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE ON SAME MODEL WITH SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODLES BUT WHEN I CALL THEY SAID THE RECALL IS NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. HOW COME SOME OF THE SAME MODELS ARE RECALLED AND NOT OTHERS. I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON MY HONDA. POSSIBLE DOOR ACUTAROR REPLACEMENT.

HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH HONDA TOLD ME I DO NOT PUSH KEY ALL THE WAY IN , THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TRY TO START CAR. BUT IT DOES IT ENOUGH TO WORRY THAT MY WIFE COULD GET STUCK IN A DANGEROUS SPOT AND SWITCH WILL CRAP OUT THEN WHAT?

WHEN I CLOSE MY SUNROOF IT OPENS BACK UP HALF WAY. I HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 YEARS AGO AND THE ASSEMBLY AND DRAIN WERE REPLACED. IT JUST STARTED TO DO IT AGAIN.

ON 1/28/2017 MY DAUGHTER'S 2009 HONDA CRV CAUGHT ON FIRE IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND BURNED UNTIL IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. IT ONLY HAD 87,000 MILES ON IT AND SEEMED TO BE RUNNING PERFECTLY THAT DAY. I HAD DRIVEN HER CAR FOR ONE HOUR (A 44 MILE TRIP), RETURNED HOME, TURNED OFF THE CAR, TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER, ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS HEARD A CAR ALARM, WE LOOKED OUTSIDE AND SAW FLAMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND PUT OUT THE FIRE, BUT IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIREMEN SAID THAT IT STARTED NEAR THE BATTERY AREA, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY PROBLEM WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON AND IT WAS RUNNING GREAT. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AS I COULD HAVE PARKED THE CAR IN OUR GARAGE OR IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT HOME ON THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE, WHICH IS ISOLATED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED IN JUNE 2016 AS REQUIRED BY THE MAJOR AIRBAG RECALL AND THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED.

THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS FAILING. THE DOOR UNLOCKS AUTOMATICALLY AS I'M DRIVING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS THE DOOR AJAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL, CAUSING THE ALARM TO GO OFF RANDOMLY DAY AND NIGHT. OUR NEIGHBORS ARE UNDERSTANDABLY FURIOUS. I SLEPT IN THE CAR LAST NIGHT TO KEEP IT FROM GOING OFF - DIDN'T WANT TO BE UNDER THE HOOD IN CHICAGO AT 1AM TRYING TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CAR EXPIRED IN AUGUST. APPARENTLY, OUR MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OR CLASS ACTION SUIT. DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $300 MINIMUM TO "DIAGNOSE" AND REPAIR. BOTHERS ME GREATLY THAT THE COMPANY IS KEENLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND YET I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW... THEY SOLD US A FAULTY PRODUCT.

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR- MY DOORS WOULD NOT AUTO LOCK ANY LONGER WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE. THE AUTO SYSTEM CONTINUED TO TRY AUTO LOCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING CLICKING BACK ON AND OFF TRYING TO GET THE DOORS TO LOCK WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. ALSO MY DOORS WOULD NO LONGER LOCK WITH THE KEY REMOTE. MY VIN NUMBER FELL OUTSIDE THE RANGE FOR 2009 CR-V'S WITH THE SAME REPORTED PROBLEM COVERED IN THE SVC BULLENTINE #14-083 FOR REPLACING THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. I BELIEVE OTHER VEHICLES ARE EFFECTED LIKE MINE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT ACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY.

WE HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THIS CAR AT LEAST 9 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT IN 2010. TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE BULBS JUST BURNT OUT AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TODAY IN THE DARK. WE HAVE PURCHASES OEM, AFTERMARKET, LONG LIFE ETC WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE CAR WAS MOVING THIS TIME WHEN THE LIGHTS BURNED OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS MOSTLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 100 MILES A DAY, WHICH IS WHERE MY WIFE WAS TODAY, AT APROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE 2002-2004 CR-V HAD A RECALL AND THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THERE IS ZERO RESOLUTION. EVERY DEALERSHIP I CALL SAY THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THIS, WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING THE INFORMATION OUT ON THE WEB. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK STICKS AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT UNLOCK AND CAN'T EVEN UNLOCK MANUALLY. THEY DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR IS PERMANENTLY STUCK CLOSED, CAN'T UNLOCK MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. BACK HATCH IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED CAN'T OPEN AT ALL BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK MANUALLY. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT HOW AM I TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR SAFELY AND QUICKLY. JUST RUN ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CAR UNTIL A DOOR OPENS? WHAT ABOUT MY DOG THAT I USUALLY HAVE IN THE BACK, HOW DO I GET HIM OUT? WHAT IF THE CAR IS ON FIRE OR IF THE CAR IS FLIPPED ON THE SIDE WITH THE WORKING LOCKS? IT'S CRAZY TO ME SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS IN MY VEHICLE YEAR YET THEY LEFT US OUT OF THE SETTLEMENT TO REPLACE THE LOCKS.

THE DOOR LOCK ON MY 2009 CRV DOES NOT WORK, NEITHER MANUALLY NOR WITH THE ELECTRONIC "FOB". I CANNOT GET INTO THE CAR. I WENT ONLINE ON EDMUNDS CAR FORUM AND NOTED THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV. PERHAPS HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE THE CAR OWNER LOCKED OUTSIDE HIS/HER CAR IN THE FREEZING COLD WITH NO ACCESS TO A PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IN REGARDS TO THE HONDA DOOR ACTUATOR SITUATION. IT IS EVIDENT THAT HONDA HAS NEGLIGENTLY OMITTED A VAST MAJORITY OF AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THEIR RECENT LIABILITY LAWSUIT RECALL. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS ON MY 2009 CRV DOOR LOCKS SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2009 AND AM AGAIN EXPERIENCING CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND NUMEROUS OTHER COMMENTS FROM SEVERAL SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS OF 2009 CRV OWNERS, HONDA HAS NEGLIGENTLY AND PURPOSEFULLY OMITTED A VAST MAJORITY OF VEHICLES IN THEIR RECALL IN AN ATTEMPT TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THEIR LIABILITY. *TR

I PARKED MY 2009 HONDA CRV IN MY GARAGE AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I PUT IT ON A CHARGER, AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO CHECK IT 2 HOURS LATER I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE THE LIGHT SWITCH WAS OF OFF. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE BATTERY WAS STILL DEAD, BUT THE LIGHTS STILL ON. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THERE SEEM TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY WOULD THE LIGHTS GO ON,. ON THEIR OWN. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK ITSELF WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE OR ELSEWHERE. IT HAS HAPPENED QUITE OFTEN BUT THIS PARTICULAR TIME I UNLOCKED IT WITH THE KEY FOB AND WALKED TO THE MAILBOX (ABOUT 60 FT) AND BACK AND IT WAS LOCKED. IT HAS DONE THIS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, TOO. I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT UNLOCKING BY ITSELF BUT THAT WOULD REALLY CONCERN ME. IT LOCKS ALL DOORS NORMALLY WHEN I FIRST PICK UP SPEED. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED SINCE NEW. *TR

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY BEING DEAD. SIX TIMES I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY OR HAVE IT TOWED IN TO BE SERVICED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER CHARGED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS FINE. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE THIRD THRU FIVE TIME I HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY IN MY GARAGE, AFTER BUYING A CHARGING UNIT. THE SIX TIME I HAD IT TOWED IN FROM MY GARAGE TO THE DEALER. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE A/C RELAY AND I ASKED THAT IT BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER YEARS BUT NOT WITH THE 2009. I ALSO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10/23/2019 BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. I PAID $90.94 TO HAVE THE A/C RELAY REPLACED AND SO FAR THE CAR IS STARTING. I THINK THE COST OF $90.94 SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY HONDA OR MY ADVANTAGE WARRANTY. *TR

I REQUESTED THAT THEIR MECHANIC RIDE WITH ME FOR ONE MORE TEST...THE DOOR UNLOCKED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE LOT. IT LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THREE MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT 250 YARDS.

THE LOCKING SYSTEM ON MY 2009 HONDA CRV HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE FRONT AND BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY ITSELF, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WILL MAKE SQUEAKING NOISES LIKE IT IS TRYING TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL WHETHER IT IS TURNED OFF OR RUNNING. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES AND IT WOULD BE VERY EASY FOR A SMALL CHILD TO OPEN THE DOOR AND FALL OUT. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER SAID THAT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY CONCERN AND RECALL HAS HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN PLACE. THEY ALSO SAID SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY IT WOULD COST $400 PER DOOR TO FIX THE LOCKING PROBLEM. BASICALLY THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN TO HONDA THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME MY TWO-YEAR OLD CAN BE LOCKED IN THE CAR WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO GET HER OUT OR EVEN WORSE OPENING THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA DRIVER MY ENTIRE LIFE (7 CARS TOTAL) AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT THEM UNTIL NOW. THIS IS A VERY BAD MOVE ON THEIR PART AND HAVE LOST A VERY LOYAL CUSTOMER. *TR
