THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WE ALSO HAVE LOST ITEMS TO CRIMINALS THAT HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS GOTTEN INTO THE CAR THROUGH THE UN-LOCKABLE DOOR.

WE SEE ONLINE THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS BEEN IGNORING AND NOW HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO COMPLAIN TO YOU FINE GOVERNMENT PEOPLE TO MAKE THEM TAKE CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE US A SAFE VEHICLE THAT WE CAN LOCK. ALL WE WANT IS FOR HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON OUR CAR WITH DOOR ACTUATORS THAT DO NOT LEAVE US VULNERABLE TO CRIMINALS. PLEASE MAKE IT SO THAT WE CAN LOCK THE DOORS ON OUR CAR. *TR
