Example complaints

“Front driver and trunk doors power locks stop working. It seemed to be very common issue for Honda cr-vs 2007 and younger. I was told by dealership to replace two latches would cost me staggering $500. It definitely seem to be the design problem. I am not sure why Honda does not act to recall the part, forcing customers to pay for its shortcomings.”
NHTSA complaint #10454743, filed 2012-04, 80,000 miles“I have been having issues with the door lock actuator for the last 2 years, I have had them replaced, and now they are being replaced again. I can not lock them on the inside, and leaves my car open to anyone. I don't feel it is a safe. The dealership knows it is an issue yet they charge an arm & a leg to fix them. Ridiculous!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10510121, filed 2013-04, 52,000 miles“I have a short in the electrical system when I stop and start the door locks unlocked and locks. Also my radio requires to enter a code when I shut it off, after I turn off the key. It works when I don't shut it off after I turn the key off.”
NHTSA complaint #11114318, filed 2018-07, 106,000 miles“My grandson went to get out of the passenger front side of car. It would not unlock. He had to climb over to the driver seat to get out. The next day I went to open the trunk and it was lock. I do a lot of picking up of my grandchildren and I'm afraid that they will get stuck in the event of an accident. What a shame to have to worry about this and the cost I will have to incur.”
NHTSA complaint #10549714, filed 2013-10, 83,000 miles“Center instrument panel malfunctioning; started as blinking in an out, now minimal information is displayed. Mileage amount shows and this is how I know when to fill my tank with gas. I have received estimates for repair at $800.00.”
