| Description of the problem | For a couple years, my back passenger side door has had a lock issue. In order to open the door, i must hit the "unlock" button at the exact moment someone goes to open the door - otherwise the lock slides back to locked position within seconds. Yesterday, my back driver side door locked itself, and i am unable to unlock it in any way, including manually. The lock is jammed and the door will not open. About an hour after noticing this issue, i tried to open my back hatch, and it too is permanently locked shut. I did some research and found that there was a 2014 class action lawsuit about these issues, which i was not informed of. I received no notification in the mail about this. The claim period has since ended, despite this being an ongoing and widespread defect, and honda refuses to cover the costs to fix this issue. Furthermore, this presents a safety issue, as a passenger could be locked in the car at any time - including an emergency situation in which the car may be on fire. I have even found on a forum a story of a woman whose entire car permanently locked itself with a child inside. |
