1 Latches/locks/linkage problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

I have a 2004 Honda Accord coupe. 3 weeks ago my passengers side door actuator went out on it. This prevents me from locking my car any way other than manually pushing the stick lock. It will not lock by pressing the key fob or pushing the lock button inside the car. I had the passenger's side replaced. Today (7/3/2010) my driver's side door actuator went out. After searching online, I see this is a very common problem with the 2003-2007 model Honda Accords. In order to replace one door actuator with the dealership it is over 200. 00. I cannot speak for the other owners of Hondas who have been having this problem, I feel it's so frequent, that Honda should be assisting their customers with this issue.

2 Latches/locks/linkage problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2009

I bought my car new from the dealer. It is a four door, within a month of owning the car the cable to open the door from the inside broke on the rear left door. Today the cable broke on the driver side door so it is impossible to open the door from the inside of the car. After looking at the cable it doesn't look strong enough to last for any length of time and being unable to get out in an emergency could be very dangerous. The car has also pulled to the right since the day I bought it but after taking to the dealer more then 4 times with no results I just learned to live with it.
