BOTH DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS WILL NOT STAY PROPPED OPEN. THEY ARE VERY HEAVY, AND WHEN PUSHED OPEN TO EITHER THE FIRST OR SECOND 'CATCH', THE DOORS INVARIABLY FALL BACK AND CRUSH THE LEGS OF THE PERSON TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. BOTH REAR DOORS STAY OPEN, CATCHING AND LOCKING PROPERLY ON EITHER OF THE TWO 'CATCH' POINTS. WHEN WE POINTED OUT TO HONDA DEALER WHILE THE CAR WAS IN FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL ISSUE, THEY OFFERED TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART FOR OVER $100 WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE LATCH MECHANISM. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FLAW WITH THE CAR THAT THEY SHOULD REPAIR FOR FREE. *TR
