Every time the right front passenger door is unlocked either by the switch or manually, it immediately re-locks itself making it almost impossible to open the door. To open the door, you must know to be holding on the handle and pull it in the split second after you activate the un-lock button. This could be extremely dangerous in a situation where the passenger had to get out of the car immediately as in case of a fire, submersion in water or after a wreck. I am frightened to think what would happen in one of these cases and a child or unsuspecting adult were in the vehicle and could not get out. Of course, there are many other scenarios where the passenger would have to get out in a hurry and this defective locking mechanism would prevent their escape.
The contact owns a 2008 Honda Cr-v. Page 307 of the contact's vehicle owners manual, entitled "tire chain", states that in inclement weather conditions, the tire chains can be placed on the front driver's side tires to assist with driving. After the contact placed the chains on the vehicle, the electronic monitoring system activates braking and traction. The failure sporadically causes a loss of control that frequently results in 180 degree turns. The failure occurred during relatively low speeds and was noticed while driving 10 mph. The dealer stated that if something was wrong, a warning indicator should illuminate on the instrument control panel. The contact stated that there were no warning indicators illuminated prior to or during the failures. The manufacturer did not assist. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 26,000.
