To verify my defective actuator claims.. all of my repair history is located at boch Honda,279 providence highway, norwood MA. 02062 781-619-6776 I purchased new a 2003 Honda Civic ex (7/2003). Since I purchased it, I have had numerous documented issues with drivers side door lock. I had the door actuator replaced twice first 7/20/13 my milage being 44,129 and again now 8/19/19 with only 71,718 miles. On 1/25/14 I was unable to open drivers side door and I had to have tumblers replace and lock cylinder replaced. The past 3 years I have commented and had them check the drivers side door several times because of lock noise and alignment. I have all my repairs done at the dealership where I purchased the car so they can provide my complete vehicle repair history if needed. My car is in a garage so it is less exposed to the elements and I never wait to have any concerned checked and take great care to keep my car safe. My car has always been stationary when the problem arose in park or when I am opening and closing the door. I have a recorded video of the actual noise the lock made from 8/19/19 before the repair was made. I had my vehicle in 4 times in the last month for a airbag recall and a routine maintenance and a gas door issues that had been previously repaired am mented each time the noise of the lock was getting louder.

The failure is a software defect, which causes the engine to stop running at random, unpredictable times, under unpredictable conditions. It has occurred four times with my vehicle, and luckily, not in dangerous circumstances. The only way to restart the engine is to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, put it in park, turn off the key completely, wait a minute, then turn the ignition to start. If it were to occur in traffic, as on the interstate, this would be a very dangerous situation. I have taken the car to the dealer for this problem, who says he cannot address it because he cannot observe it occurring, he also says that the problem is the responsibility of Honda Corp, since it is a design issue.
