3 out of 4 doors have stopped opening from the outside. The locks still work properly and have no effect on the outside door handles. The doors still open just fine from the inside, except for the driver door. The driver door will not open at all, which is a major safety issue and should have been recalled, especially since the door handles are well known issue for Hondas. Although the car does have minor damages to the body, the door handles have not been affected at all by them. This seems to be an issue that lies inside the door panel itself.

MOUSE INFESTATION OF '99 HONDA COVIC. PURCHASED CAR IN JULY 1999, FOUND MOUSE EVIDENCE WITHIN TWO MONTHS, CAUGHT MOUSE WITH TRAP. FOUND MORE EVIDENCE SUMMER 2003, SET TRAPS AND CAUGHT 10-12 MICE. TOOK CAR INTO DEALER FOR 30,000 MAINTENANCE AND TO FIX HEATER (WHICH WAS PLUGGED WITH SOMETHING). DEALER SHOP REMOVED THREE MORE MICE FROM AIR INTAKE/HEATER MOTOR AREA. WITH HANTIVIRUS FROM MICE DROPPINGS A REAL THREAT IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, SAFETY IS AN ISSUE. THE CAR WAS NEVER LEFT OPEN WHEN PARKED. DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND GLASS IN CAR AND SUSPECTED US OF BREAKING GLASS AND LEAVING CAR EXPOSED TO OUTSIDE CRITTERS.NOT TRUE, THE MICE ARE ENTERING BY SOME ENTRANCE "NOT LOCATED BY HONDA DEALER". REPAIRMAN TOLD WIFE THAT HE HAD SEEN "LOT'S OF MICE INFESTATIONS", BUT CHANGED HIS STORY WHEN HIS BOSS CORRECTED HIM AND GAVE HIM A DIRTY LOOK. WE SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HONDA WILL ADMIT.*AK
