| I reported a driver's door rattle very early on (during the warranty period), but no source was found. on 5/09/07 (37,792 miles) the driver's door lock/unlock became inoperable, and i could not lock/unlock the door with the remote control; i could not enter or leave the car by using the remote. an actuator was replaced at my expense ($161.61). on 07/30/09 (48,565 miles) the same driver's window came off its track, and the track had to be reinstalled at my expense ($90.00) now i read that a different honda model has been recalled with what seems to be my same problem. all services have been performed by the same authorized honda dealer. perhaps there is connection between the problems. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2003 honda cr-v. the contact has been experiencing failures with the driver's side door lock for six weeks. whenever she places the key into the lock, it jams, will not insert all the way, and takes numerous attempts to unlock the door. in order to open the driver's side door, she must open the passenger door and unlock it from the inside. the dealer stated that this was a very common failure that honda has not yet recalled. they further stated that the lock assembly was defective and needed to be replaced. the contact believes that if the failure is so common, a recall should have been issued. the failure still persists and the vehicle is currently in her possession. the current and failure mileages were 70,000. | |||

| While driving 65 mph on the highway the hood flew up and hit the windshield. i was in the right lane so i was able to safely pull over. i had to get out of the car, pry the hood down, and attempt to secure it to drive to a body shop. luckily , the windshield was not damaged, but the hood was destroyed, and the roof just above the windshield ,was severely dented. the original estimate was around $1700. the latch was damaged, and apparently there was no way to determine if the latch was damaged prior or after the incident. earlier that day the hood had been opened and closed, but i had double checked that it was properly closed. it was nearly unbelievable that i avoided a crash. *ak | |||

| Driving to work on interstate 89 i had my hood fly up on me and smash my windshield, and totally block my vision of the road. i was lucky enough to not have someone near me, slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road....i then got out and was able to secure the hood so i could temporarily drive it off the highway and to my office where i then proceeded to look into what may have caused this. on the day before i had added windshield fluid, shut the hood and check to make sure it was secure. it appeared to be so. i drove around town all day sunday and then monday morning approximately 20 miles before the hood blew up into my windshield. the auto repair shop indicated that he had seen this before on honda crv's and that the design for where the hood rod is placed is right next to the latch and sometimes gets stuck in the latch causing it to not fully hitch. i'm amazed i'm alive and feel like people should know about this design flaw. *nm | |||

| I purchased my 2003 cr-v in april of 2003. in june i was on the highway with my kids in the car going 70mph when my hood flew up and hit the windshield. i called honda several times, and they said i have to turn it in to my insurance company, it is not their problem. it was late at night, and had that happened another mile down the road, we would have all been killed. the road had cement barriers and went down to one lane. | |||

| December 22, 2003, the hood of my 2003 honda crv flew up and broke the windshield, while i was crossing a bridge in very windy conditions. the car had been serviced the previous month and there was also an oil change (november), when the hood was last opened. there was no prior indication the hood was not secure. | |||
