Basically we don't know if it's the power lock motor, or simply the signal that controls it (wiring) but the front passenger door doesn't [un]lock with the rest of the doors; it has to be locked or unlocked manually. Sucks for the passenger when it's raining; they have to wait for someone else to get in the car first and unlock the door from the inside! Accords apparently only have 2 keyholes...one on the driver's door and one on the trunk. So you can't even get in that door with the key, you have to use the remote to unlock the back door, open it and give your car the reach around to let yourself in the front! It's beyond annoying, but since it's not a severe/drivability/safety concern I only rated it a 2. Haven't had it looked at yet. It never should have happened, car is only 5 years old.
