Door handles
Any new updates on the door handle issue.
Has anyone had the handles replaced and never had a problem again with the locking/unlocking?
Has anyone had the handles replaced and had the issue return?

I am on my second drivers door handle replacement. Although it worked fine for about a week, the problem as reappeared. It no longer locks via the dimple but does unlock via the handle. Not sure what the problem is. Wondering if static electricity knocks out the transmitter. In any event, the dealer is aware and a new handle has been ordered. Guess I'm gonna try it again. Hopefully, the third is a charm!

I had my drivers side handle was repalced once and it works great. Don't even have to touch the dimple , just somewhere near it. The rain and fog to not affect it any more. I am thrilled with the replacement. My pass side always worked fine.

I started the previous thread on this, and actually mine have been perfect since initial "teething" pains. Never had them replaced and they continue to work as advertised.

The gasket on the leading edge of the handle will not stay seated in the door when the handle is pulled to open the door, so will ask a dealer when in for the next service to put something on the gasket to keep it in place. Dealer has looked at the gasket once subsequent to the replacement, but it's still moving with the handle...maybe it'll eventually seat with warmer weather...I just don't know.

I never had the handle replaced and it fixed itself after a few rainy days and a few car wash events. I've had ZERO issues with my '05 - it has 27K miles and has performed flawlessly so far. Oh, I had the XM delay but I did not renew my XM subscription after the year service included in the price of the car. XM is not worth the money to me - I got tired of the different volume levels and blasting commercials on different stations.

I bought this car for all the gee gaws, and will be renewing every one of them even though I'm not currently in any city with nav traffic. You're really lucky you are not having any problems with your car, or can live without the options that Honda included with the car to make the RL so desirable.

I haven't had the time to think about if I really need it or not, but since they automatically charge my account anyway, I guess I'll keep it, but it's definetely not what they advertise it to be.
I don't listen to religious or political propagandic diatribe spouted by the talk channels, however. I know for sure in the states I've traveled through, that there is "no" variety on commercial radio...commercial radio is dying imho...it's a bleak wasteland controlled by too few. What you hear in WV is the same as what you get in Texas...same old, same old...ad naseum.
The satellite channels provide a wealth of variety, and I'm not about to forego satellite. I can only address XM satellite because I've never listened to Sirius.
On the FM dial, here in Mississippi we have a world class statewide public broadcasting system. I've been in states were you can't even find a public broadcasting station. I'd like to have the Mississippi broadcast on satellite when I'm on the road.
The only quibble I have with XM satellite, and the competition I'm sure, is that I can't eliminate those channels I have absolutely no interest in from my own menu of stations...

Sirius, which I have at home via Dish Network, appears to be better but I wouldn't know about the volume issue until I listen to it on the road. Commecial FM is no better, except the commercials come in at the same level as the rest of the programming so I don't have to adjust the volume constantly.
I virtually never listen to comercial FM because they are simply annoying without benefit.

WOW did this thread go off channel or what. Where's the moderator on this one?
thread was about door handles and turned into XM radio.
Anyway, I listen to XM and have yet to hear a commercial.

Hi there..
What kind of door handle issues do you have? my driver's side door handle gave me an attitude-when I try to unlock sometimes it's sticky and hard to pull as if it's still locked. On the 2nd try then it will open. Only happens when I leave the car parked for a while.

The car does seem to go into a "sleep" mode if left alone for awhile because if the door is unlocked within a relatively short period of time after being locked, the door always unlocks the first time the handle is pulled.
The passenger door handle that was replaced is still working, but has developed, at times, a catch when pulling on the handle to open the door...so I'm speculating whether it needs lubrication.
