The passage side door lock makes a scaring noise when locking. Diagnosed by a honda dealer as a defective door lock actuator. This is a known safety issue with a published honda tsb (#14-084). I had to pay for replacing the actuator (because i was told that my car had been out of warranty). It is not fair that i had to pay for the defective part used by the manufacturer.
