THE AC JUST STOPPED WORKING PRIOR TO THE SUMMER OF 2015,. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING ABOUT THE SAME TIME AND NOW THE STARTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WAS GETTING ITS TIRES REPLACED WHEN THE TIRES WOULD NOT BALANCE AND THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK AFTER I LEFT AN APPOINTMENT IN THE PARKING LOT. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE CAR WAS MOVIG OR STATIONARY WHEN THE DOOR STOPPED WORKING.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 OUT OF 5 OF THE DOOR LOCKS. THE FIRST DOOR LOCK TO STICK WAS THE FRONT LOCK ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR. IT STUCK TIGHT AND WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE REMOTE OR MANUALLY. THE LOCK WAS STUCK SHUT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. IF WE HAD GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO GET OUT QUICKLY, MY PASSENGER WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHICH MAKES IT A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONE BY ONE, ALL THREE LOCKS EITHER LOCKED UP OR STARTED MAKING THE NOISE PROCEEDING THE LOCK UP ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I FELT LIKE THE ISSUE WAS SO DANGEROUS, AS I HAVE 2 DAUGHTERS WHO RIDE IN THE CAR DAILY, THAT I PAID TO HAVE THEM FIXED. NOW THE FRONT DRIVERSIDE DOOR AND BACK DOOR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AGAIN AND THE PROCESS IS BEGINNING AGAIN. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I MAY HAVE TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR A NEW CAR TO ESCAPE THIS PROBLEM! I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA! *TR
