For the last couple of weeks the drivers side lock mechanism makes loud noise, is difficult and sometimes impossible to unlock with fob or manually. This is not consistent every time I drive, but has been increasing in frequency. I have been locked out of car twice. The Fob and manual key attempts failed. I replaced the Fob battery and was able to open the car, but the loud noises, lock engagement issues are continuing and increasing in frequency. I want to see if this is a recall issue that can be addressed by a dealership.

I am submitting this complaint in regards to the honda door actuator situation. It is evident that honda has negligently omitted a vast majority of affected vehicles in their recent liability lawsuit recall.

Based on my experience and numerous other comments from several social media outlets of 2009 crv owners, honda has negligently and purposefully omitted a vast majority of vehicles in their recall in an attempt to lessen the impact of their liability.
