Honda has issued two technical service bulletins and extended the warranty to address faulty door locks on the 2008 Honda CR-V. The door lock actuator is crucial for the locking and unlocking of car doors. If it malfunctions, it can prevent doors from being secured properly. Honda will replace the locking actuators and associated components in all four passenger doors at no charge to owners. The typical cost for replacing a door lock actuator ranges from $280 to $330, with labor accounting for $90 to $110 and parts costing $200 to $220.

    I am currently facing an issue with my car, but the company has stated that there is no recall for it. How can I convince them to cover the expenses?

    Honda recently issued two technical service bulletins (TSBs) and expanded the warranty coverage to address malfunctioning door locks in their popular CR-V SUV. The TSBs apply to 2007-2009 model year vehicles with doors that exhibit issues such as remaining locked when they should be unlocked or being hard to unlock when the driver tries to enter the vehicle. Honda has authorized the replacement of locking actuators and related components in all four passenger doors free of charge for affected owners.

    What causes the loud noise coming from the locks of a 2008 Honda CRV when they are engaged, especially when shifting into reverse?

    I was recently informed by "America Honda Motor Co, Inc." that the warranty extension for repairing the faulty door locks was valid for the initial 8 years or until 2015, whichever occurred earlier. Sadly, the authorization has now lapsed. It's disappointing because my nearby Honda dealer was going to charge $165 simply to identify the issue. We would only receive a refund if they proceeded to verify the warranty extension and were given approval to address the problem.

    In 2015, Classic Honda in Orlando, FL only repaired one out of four doors on a vehicle. Despite being asked two more times, they declined to fix the remaining doors. Can it be considered as them making a mistake?
