NHTSA Complaint #11190358 — 2004 HONDA CR-V

HONDA REFUSED TO CORRECT THE DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM FOR 2002 TO 2006. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR ONLY TO 2007 TO 2009 WHICH HAVE THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM. FOR SECOND TIMES, I WAS STUCK BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKED AND CANNOT OPEN AND THEN FORCED MYSELF TO EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. MY MAJOR CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY REASON IN CASE IF INTO ACCIDENT OR ELSE. HONDA DEALER WANTS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE PARTS FOR BOTH FRONT DOORS. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT REAR DOORS BUT I LEARNED SOME CRV HAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL DOOR LOCKS. I WAS DEEPLY DISCOURAGED YOUR AGENCY DID NOT DO WITH THIS SITUATION WITH 2002-2006 CRV. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE. HE SAID DUE TO AN OLD CAR HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR. I TOLD HIM REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILEAGE BUT MY POINT IS MY SAFETY ISSUE. HE SUGGESTED ME TO JUNK MY VEHICLE AND BUY A NEW ONE WILL RESOLVE MY SITUATION. I AM RETIRED AND HAVE A FIXED INCOME FROM SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR. MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING VERY GOOD. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE.
