“Driver door will no longer open from outside. Problem started when vehicle was parked in direct sunlight, then got worse so that the door will no longer open from the outside no matter what. Using passenger door now to get in, and it is now failing in direct sunlight, and I expect I will soon need to enter through the rear hatch. Online search indicates this is a common failure on 2011 Honda crz's.”
