On my 2009 Accord, when you unlock the doors, you can pull the handle either inside or outside multiple times before it will open, if at all. There have been instances where I've had to lock and unlock the doors multiple times to get it to open.

Is this the same problem that the TSB for the 2008?

Does performing the steps on this TSB require removing the inside door panel? The steps really just say remove the door latch, I assume that's inside and outside?

Thanks for any help.

 

Not sure if that is the same issue or not.

Either way, yes to figure out what is going on the door panel has to come off.
