What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 honda accord. The contact stated that the front driver side interior door latch failed to open. The contact exited the vehicle from the front passenger side door. The dealer was notified and they informed him that the manufacturer was not responsible for the repair expense. An appointment was scheduled with an independent mechanic for the defective door latch repair where he was awaiting the arrival of the necessary parts to complete the repair. The failure mileage was 180,000.
1999 honda accord 4dr at with 77k miles. Without warning, car stalled when decelerating on freeway off ramp. "maint req" light came on. Power door locks clicked up and down. Able to safely come to a stop. Car restarted right away. A few days later, when leaving my workplace parking lot, the car stalled again after about 1 block, fortunately I was only driving about 20 MPH. Same symptoms -- maint req light came on and the power door locks clicked up and down. Restarted car right away. Local mechanic could not replicate issue, but suggested replacing ignition switch due to symptoms described. I had him perform the replacement, even through ignition switch was replaced under recall in sept 2005 when car had about 35k miles.
The driver side door latch failed in the locked position with the door closed. This presented a very real safety hazard as I would not be able to exit the vehicle from the driver's side in an emergency. The repair estimate from the dealership was $1,300 for a $100 part. I went to my honda independent mechanic and paid $505.31. I am filing this complaint because of the safety hazard of this breakdown and price gouging by the dealership. It is my request that the repair work be covered under discretionary extended warranty.
Dt*: the contact stated the horn worked intermittently and was hard to press in certain spots. The dealership re-fitted the horn wires and determined the horn was operating to factory specifications. The repairs did not repair the problem. The accelerator would always stick in the morning. The door locks worked intermittently. The right front window would squeak when going up. The valve cover gasket was replaced. Updated 05/16/06.
The lock will not release the driver's side door will not open
Driver's side door malfunctioned. When trying to exit vehicle, the consumer could not get the door to open. When taken vehicle to dealer for service it was determined that the door latch disconnected. *ak
The passenger door will not open inside or outside. Took it to the dealership they said its a known problem for honda cars to do this.
While driving, SRS air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer drove the vehicle to dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the air bags needed to be replaced. *ak all the vehicle's door locks stopped working after the dealer replaced the recalled ignition switch. The consumer requested that the manufacturer pay for the door lock repair. They agreed to pay for the part but wanted the consumer to pay for the labor. The consumer believes they should pay the total expense.
The consumer attempted to unlock the vehicle with car key on driver's side, which only unlocked that door and rear doors. Passenger side did not unlock. Passenger side door automatic door lock will lock all doors, but driver side automatic door lock will not unlock the doors. Consumer has to manually pull up lock latch at window to open and exit vehicle on driver's side. Door key used on passenger side of vehicle will unlock driver's side door and 1 rear door, inside automatic lock on passenger side locks driver's door. Driver's door automatic lock doesn't seem to work at all now.
Electric malfunction for honda accord ex 1999 , door remote key does not function properly and most of the time key less entry does not work for all the doors. I took car for regular service at honda dealer in richmond va, and I asked the service man to fix the door lock problem because the remote key door lock is not working properly and I have to press the door lock nob(s) to lock the door after investigation honda dealer service man not able to find or locate the problem and honda charge me $40 for just to investigate the problem I can understand he spend his time, this is alright for me. But later on honda service man called me that I need to investigate it more and that will cost $120 more and at that time he had no knowledge of what is worng with the door(s) lock problem. I asked him what is your finding about the door lock problem. He said it may be because mouse may have cut the electric wires for the door lock , by the way I notice this problem iowa and it was freezing cold in jan-feb how come a mouse go inside the door and servive and I had open parking in iowa. I think this is some faulty workman ship at honda or the equipment is faulty which control the door lock. Now pressing the door lock button does not close all the doors so I have to press the door nob to close the door. My family used to say they get static electric shock sometimes when the get out of the car and they close the door(s). I have one extra problem now earlier it was only door lock problem now security light on driver side door stop coming on.
The consumer attempted to exit the vehicle but the driver's side door would not open. The automatic door lock and car key failed to unlock the driver's side door. The driver had to climb over the console between the two seats to exit the vehicle. The dealer determined that the door lock assembly failed. *ak the failed part is available.
