“The driver side door latch failed in the locked position with the door closed. This presented a very real safety hazard as I would not be able to exit the vehicle from the driver's side in an emergency. The repair estimate from the dealership was $1,300 for a $100 part. I went to my Honda independent mechanic and paid $505.31. I am filing this complaint because of the safety hazard of this breakdown and price gouging by the dealership. It is my request that the repair work be covered under discretionary extended warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10234421, filed 2008-07, 79,000 miles“I'm having problems with both the ignition and my door locks. I took my vehicle back for the recall, but I am still having problems with stalling, but moreso with the car attempting to turn off. I get flickering of all the indicator lights, and if I do not hit the gas pedal, the car shuts off completely. I also have an ongoing problem with my doors not locking from the driver's side. When I hit the lock button, all doors lock except mine. My alarm system (viper) has an automatic door lock feature but all the doors except the driver's door locks. …”
