Repeatedly stopping. With no warnings. When driving, engine quit in january, would not move or even turn over. The manual transmission would not move. Door locks, electric as well as with the key could not be used at. Called aaa to be able to open the door. Jumped the battery to move the car. Still frozen in gear. Had it towed to two dealers. Said the clutch was destroyed. Prior to this issue, not one problem. I had to pay 250.00 for diagnostics to tell me clutch was burned out. I have driven over 34 years and always had a manual transmission. After clutch was replaced, it did it again and again. At this point, we bought a new battery. Once again, I called aaa and they jumped the battery. I am requesting an investigation into the constant electrical freeze. I would like a refund of the diagnostic. Charges and repairs. Clutch was installed for 1500.00. Battery was120.00. Please call [xxx]. As soon as possible. Alt number is [xxx].

Initially only the drivers door and right rear passenger door would lock or unlock, whether inside the car, using the key, or using the key fob. Beginning yesterday, all the door locks will neither lock nor unlock using any of the previously mentinoed methods, the lights at the bottom of the door will not turn off, and the dash symbol showing all doors ajar stays on constantly. I initally assumed it was the door actuators but after researching the problem, it seems to point towards an issue regarding three relays which are soldered on what's called a multiplex control unit located under the dash on the left. Safety issue is I can't lock or unlock the doors.

Started having trouble getting key in lock approx. 3/1/15. Progressed to not being able to get key in door at all around 5/1/15. Serviced at honda dealership on 5/7/15 with lock cylinder and arranged tumblers for original key. Worked okay until 6/20/15. At this time I inserted my key, but key would not turn to unlock my door. Entered the passenger door and tried to unlock door manually by pulling up door lock - would not budge. After I crawled across the center console I giggled door a few times and was able to pull up door lock. Drove home and tried opening door with key and it worked fine. Today, 6/22/15 when I returned home from the store I parked in my driveway and locked the door. When I realized that I had locked it I tried to unlock it with the key. Again, the key would go in, but it would not turn to unlock the door. Called honda dealership and was told that it sounded like the actuator. I know have an appointment to have my car serviced for this problem. It is my understanding after going on line that this is a long standing problem that honda has been aware of, but obviously was unwilling to recall and fix. I believe there was a class action suit filled, however I was unaware of it and my 2005 was not included in this suit. Since this is still an ongoing problem it is long past time for honda to accept responsibility for replacing these actuators at their expense not mine.

Exiting vehicle: chrome drivers-side door inside handle has flaked, causing sharp chrome to stick up from the plastic underneath. Applying your hand to door handle can cut, not unlike straight-edge razor, and may require medical assistance (stitches) if deep and long enough.

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.

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.

The passenger side door handle cable has a small plastic anchor that anchors the cable to to the inside of the door panel. The plastic piece was severed into two pieces by the metal grip that holds it in place. The end resullt is the passenger door can not be opened from the inside. If something was to happen and I needed to esacpe the vehicle from the passenger side, I would not have access to do so. I believe the plastic anchor breaking is a defect caused by inherently bad design of a plastic item locking into a metal item.

The chrome color paint/coating on the inner door handles of my 2005 honda accord is starting to separate/peel at the seams. While opening the door, the peeling seam on the inner door handle lacerated my finger. I have cut myself 3 times on both inner front door handles.

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.
