    Few months ago my car locks started to lock, unlock, lock, unlock, etc every time when my driving speed passed 10 mph. Then i noticed that my driver side rear door was unlocking in few seconds after i locked my car doors. Last night my car locked itself (except driver side read door). This is definitely a safety issue for a single woman. Very unsafe to park in public places when you cannot lock the car doors. Today…

    On thanksgiving night 2012, i went shopping and got back to my parents house around 11:00pm. I had gifts and food in the car and the power door locks locked on me automatically with me in it. I finally was able to open the passage door and got out. The car door locked again and i was not able to get into the car either by using the keyless entry nor by manually trying to unlock it with the key in the door lock. I…

    I have had 5 door actuators changed on my car - all doors and one door was twice. I have a 6th one out but i have not gotten it fixed. The dealership told me that "sometimes things happen". I tried to talk with honda, they did pay for most of them repairs but refused to admit it was a problem. The dealership never could tell me why it was happening, just kept replacing the actuators. I got tired of fighting with…

    Door · Latches/Locks/Linkages

    Both rear doors on my 2008 honda accord have defective doo handles on the inside. I can only open the doors from the outside. The first one quit working around mid august 2010, and the other about three weeks after that. I am concerned that if there were a fire after an accident that someone in the bsack seat would not be able to exit the vehicle. *tr

    Headliner had to be replaced on my 2008 accord lx because raw edges were showing at weather stripping on all doors. Original dealer had car all day for repair. Three days later, the driver side sun visor fell on my head while driving on the parkway at high speed (knocked off my glasses). This could have caused an accident since i swerved after visor hit me. Went to different dealer for repair and it took two tries…

    My 2008 accords consistently flash/dim every 30 seconds when the auto climate control mode is on. This is a safety issue when driving on a dark road at night as one's eyes naturally look away from the road for about a second-- enough time to be dangerous. I complained to the dealer and they said all vehicles do this. I have never heard of any vehicle doing this. I asked when the service bulletin would be coming out,…
