Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing frequent door jamb switch failures on both the driver's and passenger sides, often indicated by the door ajar warning remaining illuminated or the dome light staying on when the door is closed. When cleaning the contacts does not resolve these issues, owners may need to replace the switch with a compatible part and follow proper installation procedures. Additionally, there have been voluntary recalls for certain CR-V models to address related components, and some owners have noted problems with door locks and power mirror controls. The underlying causes of these door-related issues can include malfunctioning door lock assemblies, misaligned doors, or worn hinges. Furthermore, common problems such as battery drain and premature failures have been reported across different CR-V generations. To mitigate these recurring issues, it is crucial for owners to conduct regular maintenance and address any root causes contributing to the frequent need for replacements.
