| 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. *jb | |||

| Trunk appeared to be closed, opened while traveling down the highway. i've researched the internet and there appears to be a defect with the trunk latches on 2002 civics. the trunk closes very hard. at times, it may appear as though it is latched but will come open when hitting a bump etc. *nm | |||
