Starter Solenoid Problems of Honda CR-V

Electronic door lock solenoid has a mind of its own, locks me in the car and also out of the car, and I have the key fab. Also makes a horrible noise.

Vehicle began resetting door locks whenever vehicle accelerated through 7 or 8 mph from stop. After awhile, driver side front and back doors would not lock automatically and intermittently the driver door could not be manually locked (heavy resistance when trying to flip latch). On a less frequent basis, the passenger side rear door would not auto or manually lock. For last several months the door lock solenoids fire like a machine gun whenever the doors are manually or automatically locked. Some times they all lock, other times one or more of the doors won't. Tolerated for many months as dealer wouldn't fix under warranty even though only 1000 miles and a few days past 12mo/36k coverage and didn't want to pay dealer estimated fix at up to 800 dollars. Now starting to pick up grandchildren for after school care and need to fix. Seems this problem has enough complaints to warrant recall?.

Vehicle fire regarding 2003 Honda crv. There was overheating of the electrical components that caused the fire. The consumers wife was locked in the burning vehicle. The locks remained activated and would not open from the inside or the outside, even though the ignition was off. The entire vehicle had become filled with heavy black smoke along with the instrument panel warning lights flashing. The consumer was informed that the damage found was consistent with a high resistance condition occurring in the crankshaft sensor oil control solenoid circuit wiring resulting in electrical overheating, resulting in a fire. Minor heat and fire damage was sustained to the right front area of the engine starting near the crankshaft pulley extending upwards towards the valve cover area. Upon examination of the fuse/relay center located in the passenger compartment revealed a 15 amp fuse protecting the ecu circuit was blown consistent with a component and or electrical failure within this circuit. According to the technical report, the fire began in the engine compartment and was considered an accident not a manufacturer defect.

While driving my 1998 Honda Cr-v I noticed power surges and deeming of lights. The car ultimately shut down. It started right back up and I drove it to a local mechanic. He looked it over hooked it up to his computer and got a reading that the solenoid on the transmission was going bad. He thought this was incorrect and suggested maybe something else was wrong. He drove the car for a while and nothing happened. He suggested I drive the car and let him know if something went wrong. Later that day as I was driving home from work solder dropped from under the dash onto my foot. Tuesday morning I had the car towed to the same mechanic that looked at it on Friday. He was shocked that something under the dash could get that hot and not catch on fire. He looked under the dash and discovered that it was the ignition switch that had got so hot that it began to melt the solder. He called cale yarborough Honda in florence to get a new ignition switch. We received the part and the mechanic put it in and the car seems to be running fine. The part that startles me the most is that the car belongs to my wife and I just happened to be driving it when the problems occurred. The biggest problem I have is that if my wife would have been driving the car and hot solder would have fallen on her foot and burned her it could have possibly caused her to wreck. She always wears slip on shoes and her foot would not have been protected like my foot was. Even with shoes on it startled me enought to drive off the road. It is disturbing to me what could have happened if she were driving the car. I contacted Honda and told them of the incident and they said my complaint would go to a review board and if it warrented looking into they would contact me. I am writing you because this has the potential to be fatal if this happens to someone else. I would hate to know someone got killed because solder dropped on someone's foot and caused a serious accident.
