Consumer Description

ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT 2012, I WENT SHOPPING AND GOT BACK TO MY PARENTS HOUSE AROUND 11:00PM. I HAD GIFTS AND FOOD IN THE CAR AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS LOCKED ON ME AUTOMATICALLY WITH ME IN IT. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE PASSAGE DOOR AND GOT OUT. THE CAR DOOR LOCKED AGAIN AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET INTO THE CAR EITHER BY USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY NOR BY MANUALLY TRYING TO UNLOCK IT WITH THE KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK. I HAD TO LET THE FOOD STAY IN THE CAR OVER NIGHT AS WELL AS THE OTHER THINGS I HAD PURCHASED. I AM SO GLAD I DID NOT HAVE MY NIECE WITH ME. THE NEXT DAY, I HAD TO SPEND $60.00 TO GET A LOCKSMITH TO OPEN THE DOOR. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS THAT LOCKS WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, KEEPS LOCKING EVERY TIME A MAKE A STOP AND PULL OFF AGAIN. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY TOO. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF I HAD A CHILD IN THE CAR, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN. THE LOCAL NEWS FEATURED A NEWS STORY WITH A WOMAN WHO IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER HONDA CRV ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT THE HONDA MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO ADDRESS EITHER THRU RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. *TR
