2002 Honda Civic ex 4 door the indoor door handles are peeling very sharp metal that cuts your hand when you try to open the door. I have cut my hand several times. Once almost needing stitches. Honda informed me that there were recalls for other models for this problem, but not this year/make/model. This is surely a safety defect, though not life threatening.

On the morning of March 1, 2005 I attempted to fill my gas tank. I pushed the fuel access door release lever and nothing happened. I attempted this several times without success. I contacted a Honda dealer later in the day and explained the problem to him. He suggested I get another person to jiggle the door while I pressed the lever as Honda had a know fuel access door alignment problem. This did not solve the problem. I had to break the door open so that I could add fuel to the vehicle. After breaking open the door I noticed that pressing the release lever did not retract what was left of the post which would allow the fuel access door to open.

Electronic doors automatically locked by themselves within 5 to 10 seconds. This could cause a problem when getting out of the vehicle with the key still in the vehicle. Consumer contacted the dealer, who stated there was no solution for this problem. When the key was in the ignition, the doors locked by themselves.
