Four problems related to door have been reported for the 1997 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Both front and rear automatic door lock actuators do not operate. This makes it difficult to lock doors or, once locked, to unlock doors. Could present problem in an emergency. My independent mechanic has noticed high frequency of similar failures and said such problem should not exist on car so new with such low mileage.
Automatic locks does not lock when depressing automatic lock on driver's side door. The power door lock was inoperative due to control unit failure.
Noticed water accumilation on bottom part of all doors after rainstorms. Water also accumilate directly underneath the bottom of the doors, along the entire plastic molding. Also can hear water dripping slowly within the doors. Also noticed holes on the bottom of each doors, they seem to be there to let water escape. Wont allowing water to be inside the doors damage the speaker, power window motor, and other electrical componants?.
The power door lock activator is defective, when all doors are locked they will start activating intermittently without engagement.
