I am unable to insert key into driver side door and as a result can not open the door to get in. I have to go through the passenger side, open the door to driver's side. Driver side front door lock does not turn and we are stranded as the door doesn't open. I am hoping to call honda and suggest they have a recall as this look like wide-spread issue based on the feedback on the web.

The air conditioner stopped working. I took it to a repair shop and they found a hole in the bottom of the compressor. They will have to replace the compressor, flush the system, repalce the dryer and then charge the system. The vehicle only had 62500 miles on it and the compressor should last alot longer than that. It will cost $756.24 to repair the system and that is if these are the only parts that need to be…
