| Description of the problem | I was at the cabin finishing up some chores. Went to put some tools in the back seat of the honda crv and the door would not open. The same thing happened to the back hatch. The door could not be opened with out great difficulty from the inside and not at all from the outside. The hatch could be opened also only from the inside after crawling over the seats and only after removing the latch panel and manually flipping the latch. After i got home i researched the problem and the internet is full of such problems. I understand that some models of crv 2006 and older had a recall. Of course mine is a 2007. Problems with the latch and actuator are a significant safety issue as if there was an accident or fire both of these egresses out of the vehicle would not be available either by the occupants or rescue personnel. The cost to get this repaired is significant leaving the potential for the problem not to be fixed immediately. |
