Mar 2011 101000 110 Car was diagnosed as needing new front drive axles -- for a total of $1600! The parts prices were insanely high, so we decided not to fix it until we did some internet research on other parts suppliers. right front power door lock failed -- actuator had been replaced 6 months ago for the same reason, so dealer replaced the actuator again (this time under warranty). 
Jun 2011 101000 800 Needed new axles but Honda's axles were on "indefinite backorder" for this model, so dealer installed new NAPA axles to try and correct the problem. They had the car 8 days and went through 4 Napa axles, but car still shook when accel. 2 sets of Napa axles replaced by dealer were faulty, so the dealer replaced the inner driveshaft joints on the ORIGINAL axles (rather than trying to replace the entire axle with aftermarket) and the problem is 100% fixed.
