“My wife and I have a 2001 Honda CR-V. Within the span of a few months, the door locks on all four doors malfunctioned and broke. The lock on the front passenger-side door broke in a position that prevents the passenger from being able to open the door, which is a safety concern for us.

We have also not yet had the lock on either rear door replaced, also due to the cost.”
