Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)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. *TR
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. *TR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR HATCH DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE REAR HATCH DOOR LATCH WAS INOPERATIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.*AKI
I AM 6'0". WHEN DRIVING MY HONDA S2000, MY LEFT TEMPLE IS LEVEL WITH AND ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF FRAME. THIS IS A STEEL ROD STRUCTURE, WITH SHARP EDGES. ON TURNING INTO AND OUT OF MY DRIVE, I FREQUENTLY IMPACT MY LEFT TEMPLE ON THIS NONPADDED STRUCTURE. I CONTACTED HONDA THROUGH CONSUMER LINE AND THROUGH THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP. WHILE I AM NOT AN ENGINEER, IT SEEMS THAT REPLACING THE SEATS WITH OTHERS THAT SIT THE DRIVER LOWER, OR SIMPLY LOWERING THE EXISTING SEAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NHTSA INTERCESSION IS NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR REPLY, AS THIS IS MY DAILY TRANSPORTTION. A SIDE IMPACT WOULD PROBABLY CAUSE FATALITY OR MAJOR BRAIN INJURY. I AM A NEUROLOGIST AND HAVE BEEN INJURED IN MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FLAW AND NEEDS CORRECTION ASAP. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY LEGISLATOR, BUT AM CERTAINLY WILLING IF THAT WOULD HELP.
