THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOCKING MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE. THE DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED AND CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR INTERIOR HANDLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE OR OTHER MISHAP, THIS MAY PROVE FATAL. IN FACT, WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A STATE OF ILLINOIS EMISSIONS TEST, THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE TEST BECAUSE THEY SAID THE DOOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I WOULD NEED TO GET THE DOOR FIXED FIRST. HONDA MOTORS WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. I LEARNED FROM A WEBSITE POSTING VEHICLE PROBLEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMONLY OCCURING PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL CAR THAT HONDA REFUSES TO CORRECT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE CAR MAKES IT MY RESPONSIBILITY. I FEEL THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT GO WRONG WITH A CAR--SIMILAR TO A SEAT BELT OPERATING PROPERLY AT ALL TIMES.*AK
