The driver side door latch failed in the locked position with the door closed. This presented a very real safety hazard as I would not be able to exit the vehicle from the driver's side in an emergency. The repair estimate from the dealership was $1,300 for a $100 part. I went to my honda independent mechanic and paid $505.31. I am filing this complaint because of the safety hazard of this breakdown and price gouging by the dealership. It is my request that the repair work be covered under discretionary extended warranty.
