“The tailgate latch and handle is rusted and the latch and handle assembly needs to be replaced on my 2000 Honda CR-V. At the same time the hinges on the driver's and front passenger's doors were squealing. I used a little bit of wd-40 and it stopped the hinge squealing after a couple of sprays. I have kept all of the maintenance schedules to-date.”

NHTSA complaint #10342374, filed 2010-07, 120,000 miles

“1. Front passenger powered door lock does not work. Either with key or driver side lever, it makes an audible scratching/raking sound, but stays unlocked. It can be locked manually, and unlocks normally. 2. Rear glass door had problem unlocking with the mechanical key - but would unlock remotely from driver side - for several months. Now it has cured itself somehow, but could reappear.”

NHTSA complaint #10712033, filed 2015-04, 100,000 miles

“Generally, I have been satisfied with my 2000 Honda crv but, as of late, have encountered significant problems with the doors. To the point, the doors do not open, fail to latch  or both. In february, I could not get the hatch door to open. I took it to a local dealer (sunnyside Honda) and they fixed the problem and charged me $125. I was having the same problem with the passenger-side front door (it would not open) and the dealer ordered parts which were installed a few weeks later. The charge was $390.90. Now the driver-side front door is having the same problem with the latch. …”
