There was also a sharp edge on the chrome plate surface. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on two separate occasions for the identical failures with replacement of the front driver and front passenger side handle. The driver and passenger side occupant sustained minor injury to their finger from the defective door handle. The first occurrence was repaired under the service warranty. However, the second service repair cost was in the amount of $40. The failure mileage was 25,000. The current mileage was 53,000. The VIN was unavailable.

All four door lock actuators have failed. None of the vehicle doors lock or unlock when using a remote or using the power lock buttons on each door. The problem is now permanent on all four doors. The problem first started on the front two doors and eventually to the rear two doors. All four door actuators have failed. I am concerned a door will be left unlocked and my personal belongings will be stolen. In addition, there is no way for me to automatically lock all four doors while I am driving, such as if I feel unsafe in a location I am driving and want to immediately lock all the doors while in the drivers seat (for example, sitting at a stop light and someone approaches my car).

3 of 4 electronic door locks unresponsive one by one, almost simultaneously (within a month or two), each door lock became unresponsive to the master/driver's seat controls. Also do not work using key fob. Doors must be manually locked and unlocked and key does not work in front passenger door to lock or unlock. The only door left where the lock works properly is the driver door. The "broken" locks sound like they are working, but they do not move. Dealer wants $200 per door to fix.

The window regulators and power door locks on the honda's I own keep failing and cost more than 300 dollars to repair. This seems to be a systemic problem on the honda's. I have had this happen on all 4 doors of my 2000 honda accord and 2 doors on my 2004 honda pilot. Honda needs to do a recall and fix this issue. People shouldn't have to pay for a systemic issue in the car, which can be a safety issue as well as you can't put the windows down or up once this happens.
