FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM FAILURE PREVENTS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE MANUAL LOCK CONTROL AND LOCKS PASSENGERS INTO THE VEHICLE. WITH THE FAILURE, THE MANUAL LOCK CONTROL HAS HIGH MECHANICAL RESISTANCE AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNS TO THE LOCK POSITION AFTER ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK. THIS POWER LOCK FAILURE IS NOT NOT FAIL SAFE, AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK AND THEN OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE THE DOOR LOCKS ITSELF. EXITING THE VEHICLE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS SUCH AS AN ACCIDENT IS COMPROMISED AS PASSENGERS ARE LOCKED INTO THE VEHICLE. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE INITIATION OF A SAFETY INQUIRY FOR THIS FAILURE TO SUPPORT A MANDATORY RECALL FOR POWER LOCK FAILURES IN 2007 AND OTHER AFFECTED YEARS OF THE HONDA CRV.
