    I wish to complain about my 2010 honda crv. I am having issues with my air conditioning unit. When it is hot, it blows hot air even when it is set on the lowest temperature. However, when it is nighttime it will blow cold air. Honda evacuated and recharged the system only for me to experience the same issues two months later. I was then told that i needed to replace the ac compressor, coil set, clutch set, etc. I…

Will only unlock manually, is not responsive whatsoever to the key fob, or the lock/unlock button inside of the vehicle. The tailgate also will not unlock by any means, which poses a serious safety hazard to the vehicle. I am asking for an extension of…

I was in the middle lane of a 5-lane freeway. After my car stopped, traffic backed up as far as the eye could see. I had no electrics and, as a result, i could not get out of my car, open a window, turn on emergency flashers, or use the manual door locks. If the…

Class action lawsuit was for the 2007 and 2008 model, however the company is still using the defect part in newer models. Waiting for the other door to malfunction and if it persist it might cause a fire in the door. Big safety concern, guess the government will wait until someone dies before recalling this…

    Vehicle was rear-ended by a faster vehicle. The impact forced the transmission into "park," which automatically locked the doors, trapping any occupants. Had there been a fire or water submergence situation, there could be unnecessary injury or even death. Vehicle door locks need to be re-designed to let occupants escape in an emergency. *js
