1 Door Latch problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2001

When exiting vehicle and door lock is pushed down there would be a wierd noise. Vehicle's key would not lock or unlock door.

2 Door Latch problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2001

All four door latches were loose. The driver door latch was so loose, it almost fell off. I had to tighten all four latches with the supplied toolkit. This seemed like a very serious problem to me.

3 Door Latch problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2000

Since I bought my Honda Civic 2001 in oct 2000, the door power locks will intermittenly get stuck. We then are trapped in the car. I've taken it to 2 different Honda dealers and neither have a solution. It's dangerous, and since Honda seems not to care, I'm hoping you can help. I even have records showing that I've taken my car to the dealers.
