What owners report
Poor Design to Door handles that melt in heat and you cannot enter the car except through the hatch! This should be a voluntary recall where Honda pays for the repairs to door handles that melt on the 2015 Honda CRZ as a known issue. The known issue states extreme cold also causes the plastics to become brittle and break. Honda dealership wants in excess of $1000 to "diagnose" the known problem and repair. The replacement parts are after market and cost $23.00 per door plus shipping. Honda should cover this cost!
The airbag light started coming on somewhere (approx) around 100K miles. I noticed that MANY hondas had takata airbags and were recalled. My airbag is also sourced from takata and I'm concerned for my safety and wondered if my car was overlooked because CR-Z models had very low volume of production. I wanted to check. I cannot financially replace this as the cost exceeds the value of the car, but it runs great and I need it for commuting. PLEASE double-check as my hunch is that my car was overlooked when assessing the takata air bag disaster. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The problem has not been addressed by Honda, but many owners have reported it being a common problem. The door handle latch tends to break under hot or cold environments and under light to heavy stress when attempting to open the door
BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 I HAD AN ACCIDENT, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE CAR. RIGHT BEFORE LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED RAPIDLY ON THE DASH CAUSING MY CAR TO JOLT AND LOOSE TRACTION. I HAD SPUN AND HIT HEAD ON TO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. A FEW MORE FEET TO THE LEFT AND I WOULD'VE FLEW OFF THE MOUNTAIN. I THEN HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY READ ALL THE CODES ON MY CAR TO SEE IF IT REALLY WAS A CAR MALFUNCTION. THE 2 CODES THAT BROUGHT CONCERN TO ME WHERE THE ( 61-1 BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW & 25-1 YAW RATE SENSOR MALFUNCTION) BUT HONDA WAS UNSURE IF THESE CODES WHERE CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT, BUT I KNEW IT WAS WHAT HAD CAUSE
