2009 Honda CR-V electrical system problems

“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2009 HONDA CR-V. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 133,000 and at the time of running the VIN on carfax, it was discovered that the mileage was 314,000.”

“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 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…”

“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…”
