| Description of the problem | I purchased a used cr-v more than five years ago n and up until this summer have been exceptionally pleased with the vehicle. My complaint is regarding the rear door latch, which is now frozen and inoperable. Unfortunately, this situation occurred at the time the rear door was open, and took much time and muscling to even get the door latch to close. Now it is permanently frozen in the closed position, allowing me to travel, but not to use the rear door. My sister also purchased a cr-v, after riding in mine. Interestingly enough, the exact same situation has happened to her, with a complete latch failure on the rear door. Her son, an auto mechanic, has determined the latch is completely corroded, and must be replaced.*ak |
