| Description of the problem | Rear door lock mechanism on my car rusted to the point that locks/ doors became inoperable and they do not open from inside or outside. Problem occurred in both left and right rear door. Since children ride in the back seats i think this situation is dangerous in case of an accident, significantly limiting chance to quickly leave vehicle. Door locks became difficult to operate approximately in 2001 and failed completely in 2003. I contacted honda in fall 2003 about the problem, but honda rep did not show any concern about the problem and did not provide any advice. I documented the problem and i can provide photos of the rusted lock mechanism. Currently the door locks operate ok after regular heavy lubrication. Car is not exposed to a extreme corrosive environment, my residence is not by ocean and car is parked in a garage most of the time. *jb |
