This is the third door lock actuator on this car that has failed. I know there was a class action against honda for later model year actuators but it did not encompass 2006. The safety problem is that if a person wanted to get out of the locked car in a hurry the electrical lock and unlock button wouldn't unlock the car. The first failure occurred to the left rear door lock actuator replaced under warranty, then in 2009 the right rear failed and now in 2015 the right front failed. I think because of the frequency of failure there is a design problem possibly an extension of the design problems that lead to the later model class action lawsuit for lock actuator failures.

My daughter was not able to open the driver side door from either the inside or outside door latch. This really scared her so that we she walked to our house doors she was shaking. This is a 2-door coupe and she was scared and almost panicking. She asked me what was wrong with the door because she could not open it. I investigated and the remote door opener was working. Even used the manual key to try to open the door but the latch would not engage to open the door. My biggest concern was the safety issue. What if my daughter was driving and had an accident and she had to get out of the car? What if the car was on fire? There is obviously a design flaw in the way the door was designed. I went to the dealer and I was told that there were other honda cars that have had the same issue. Again, this is a safety issue. I am not aware if the other honda owners who have had the same problems have actually reported this. I have seen several online post complaining about this problem...

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 honda accord. The contact stated that the chrome passenger door handles have caused the injuries to his hands. The driver side door handles have also caused injuries to his hands as well. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer to have the door handles replaced; however, the manufacturer would not cover the cost the handles were not replaced. The dealer will give the contact a written statement saying the the door handles are sharp and has caused injuries. The statement will be sent to the manufacturer to request that the handles be replaced with no cost to the contact. The contact feels the manufacturer should be responsible for the repairs since it' s a manufacturers defect. The failure mileage was 51,000.
