What 2005 Honda Accord owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Rear door locks do not work when using driver door lock switch control. Rear door lock on driver side does not open from inside even when door lock switch is in up position. Can only be opened from the outside.
Door will not unlock on front passenger side. This is not a child safety lock issue. Seems like a common problem after a review of the internet. In a crash or fire passenger would have to crawl to the other side of the car or through a window to get out. Responders would have no way to open the door from the outside.
The door actuators are not working, its the 2 left side only work on cold days. Now, don't use the back doors and mostly use the drivers side.
Door lock remote fails to open locks. If I'm inside the car, sometimes the driver's door lock will be jammed down, and key will not open from outside. Nothing worked, I had to crawl over the console and exit by the passenger door. Definitely a safety issue, since it could happen in an emergency.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. While the vehicle was parked the contact noticed the chrome around the rear passengers side door handle was broken. A passenger was in the rear of the vehicle and sustained a deep cut to her right hand and was taken to the hospital where x-rays were taken and the doctor placed stitches in the child's wound. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
The inside door handle of my honda accord coupe 2005 stopped working all of a sudden. A passenger riding with me discovered that they could not exit the car because the inside door handle failed to open the door. This was a one time occurrence and the door handle never worked again after that point. The problem was the cable from the interior door handle to the exterior door handle has a defective plastic insert where it attaches to the door panel. Failure of this piece results in the passengers of the vehicle not being able to open the door from the inside. This creates a potential safety hazard in the event of an accident or roll-over. The cable holding the plastic insert had to be ordered and replaced after taking off the door panel.
Could not lock drivers door with remote key lock, other doors locked. Could only unlock or lock drivers door with non remote key. Replaced actuator and cable.
1. Passenger drive door while locked could be opened manually by hand. Dealer replaced lock actuator and lock.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that the trunk lock on his vehicle was defective. He had to slam the trunk at least three to four times before it locked.

Currently, three weeks later, the latch is not working again. There are no recalls regarding this failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 54,000.
