This was a lightly used honda given to me by my father who was original owner. Odometer reading when I was given care in 12/97 was 60,079. It could cost up to $650.00 according to honda to fix. Honda would not acknowledge that this was a defect, and said mileage on vehicle was high. These are highway miles, and being unable to exit the car in an emergency is a safety issue, I am sure. When I spoke with the local honda dealer to ask about repairs, the manager said he's done a few of them which could cost any where from 350 to $650, which LED me to believe that this is a common repair on this car. Now the passager door handle is breaking (basically on a thread). Again this car was very lightly used when it was given to me in 1997, and don't feel mileage has anything to do with door handle performance. Anything you can do to help with this safety issue is appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you.
