Door locks are not working. They are broken. Front door locks for my honda accord have to be unlocked manually. The driver side with key. The passenger side by hand. The car has only 60,908 miles. I don't understand why the locks are going bad. I feel this is a safety issue. You cannot get into your car very quickly if you need to. To have them fixed will be very expense. I was told only the drivers side for the…

I could not open the unlocked driver's door from the inside using the internal door handle. Corrective action was replacement of the inner handle cable (part # 72171-sda-a01) which had severed. Such a failure could be life threatening in an accident, water submerged or fire. *tr

First, my cd player stops working out of nowhere, which i later come to find out that they had installed an internal defective cd player.

I got someone to change both so that one wouldn't be bright than the other, but after they were both…

Both driver and front passenger doors will not stay propped open. They are very heavy, and when pushed open to either the first or second 'catch', the doors invariably fall back and crush the legs of the person trying to exit the vehicle. Both rear doors stay open, catching and locking properly on either of the two 'catch' points. When we pointed out to honda dealer while the car was in for a different recall issue,…
