This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Honda dealer.
I bought a brand new Honda Accord in 2010. I am a stay at home mom and drive very little, maybe 10,000 miles a year. Within the first 3 years the first lock actuator went out on my front drivers side door. I only had about 30,000 miles on the car. The following year the front passenger side actuator went out. The following year the 3rd actuator went out, back passenger side. In 2017 the 4th and final lock actuator went out in May at about 65,000 miles, back drivers side. It is quite obvious that Honda purchased a bad batch of actuators. I have owned 5 Hondas and have never had this problem before. The first one they covered under the warranty but the last three, I have had to pay for even though I requested they change all three within the warranty period and they refused.
