    Trunk latch suddenly failed. There is no keyhole on the exterior trunk, and the fob and interior switch can't open it. The seat releases are also in the trunk, so there is no way to fix the problem without going to the dealer, and they want to charge for the repair even though there are multiple pages of complaints on the web about the problem that date back to 2008.

It occasionally will open, but more often than not, it will not engage. The service manager was present and able to see this problem. He was baffled. But they said i used too much force to unlock the trunk. This after having the car for over 6 months! This is my 2nd honda…

    My friend and i put our purses in the trunk of my honda civic 2010 at a busy restaurant parking lot.
