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  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 canT 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 driverS 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.
