problem #2

2006Sep 01

Accord EX Coupe 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

Driver's door wouldn't unlock when pressing keyless remote. Very inconvenient. Would have to use key to manually open door, then use unlock button to unlock other side. Dealer said it was a faulty door lock mechanism. Actual part cost $28 (looked it up online), but because they had to remove the top panel from the door, the total cost was $300 to repair. About year later, it happened to passenger door. Took it to area mechanic to save $100 bucks.

Accord DX 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission

About 3 months, ago I noticed that I was unable to unlock the driver's side front door. I have been entering my car from the passenger side since that time. Was told that it would cost about $125 to replace it, and I would then have to use 2 keys for the car - the original for the ignition and the new one for the doors. About 1 week ago, I began to have trouble getting the key to unlock the ignition switch. It takes a few tries to get it to engage so that I can start the car. I have not yet asked the dealer about this problem. Can't wait to hear their explanation and recommended fix.

I have owned and operated many cars in the past 50 years, and I have never had a problem starting any of them with the ignition key. Can it be that my Honda is a piece of crap? I bought the car because of the outstanding consumer rating in 2003. Has their quality gone to hell?

I am pissed. This is the first foreign car that I purchased, and it may be my last.
