What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda crv. The contact stated that the vehicle would sporadically lock the passengers out of or into the vehicle without being able to release the lock. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer but he could not determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 35,000.
The passenger side rear door started to unlock after locking the vehicle. This will happen either while driving or when remote locking the car. It seems the lock mechanism slowing opens on its own. I just took a look at the door, but I don't see any physical damage to the latch or handles. I have read on line many others have had this same problem and honda is not taking any ownership of this failure of the door lock actuator.
