NHTSA Complaint #10855101 — 2010 HONDA CR-V

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK BUZZES FOR ABOUT 1-2 SECOND WHEN I LOCK THE CAR. . IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER YOU USE THE REMOTE OR LOCK THE CAR FROM INSIDE. I ALSO HAVE IT WHERE THE DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. I THINK THIS IS THE HONDA BROKEN DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THERE'S A SMALL MOTOR INSIDE THE ACTUATOR THAT GEARS TO A SMALL RACK. WHEN THE RACK REACHES THE END OF TRAVEL, IT HITS A RUBBER BUMPER AND SHUTS OFF THE MOTOR. WHEN THE RUBBER BUMPER WEARS OUT, THE RACK GOES TOO FAR AND THE NOISE YOU HEAR IS THE MOTOR GEAR GRINDING AGAINST THE END OF THE RACK. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY RELOCKING ITSELF HAPPENS WHEN THE RACK BOUNCES BACKWARDS AND HITS THE LOCK CONTACTS. CONTACTED WITH THE DEALER, THEY SAID I NEED TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX IT. I THINK THIS IS MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD FIX IT.
