Tail lights stopped working, passenger and both back windows wont roll down...from forums i've read this is common. Honda needs to issue a recall and fix this for everyone!! Also anyone else have to replace wiper linkage due to the excessive windshield wipers when they slam down, they've done this since bought the car off the lot brand new!

This is the third door lock actuator on this car that has failed. I know there was a class action against honda for later model year actuators but it did not encompass 2006. The safety problem is that if a person wanted to get out of the locked car in a hurry the electrical lock and unlock button wouldn't unlock the car. The first failure occurred to the left rear door lock actuator replaced under warranty, then in…
