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
Generally, i have been satisfied with my 2000 honda crv but, as of late, have encountered significant problems with the doors. to the point, the doors do not open, fail to latch _x0013_ or both. in february, i could not get the hatch door to open. i took it to a local dealer (sunnyside honda) and they fixed the problem and charged me $125. i was having the same problem with the passenger-side front door (it would not open) and the dealer ordered parts which were installed a few weeks later. the charge was $390.90. now the driver-side front door is having the same problem with the latch. i can_x0019_t get the car to lock and opening it is also problematic unless i pull very hard on the handle. the evidence points to the obvious conclusion that this is not a matter of routine maintenance for this vehicle. there is something defective in the door latches and locking systems of this crv. how much more must i pay to simply open and shut the doors on my car? i have already had to pay $515.90 for the repair of 2 door handles/latches/locks. i can see another repair bill in my future as the front driver_x0019_s door is almost inoperable. this presents an obvious safety problem in that getting out of the car during an emergency is very difficult. is there some recall that i missed that addressed this problem? i hope you will agree that it is unreasonable to have 3 doors on the same 2000 car with the same mechanical problem. i request that you reimburse me for the costs so far and arrange to have the front drivers-side door repaired. all i want to do is get in/out of the vehicle. can you help? please contact me at: [email protected]; or (330) 528-0838. *ak
