Driver door latch malfunction. No prior event. Driver door latch (diode/electronic controlled) failed -car door does not shut/stay latched. While driving car door opens on its own Accord. Dealer acknowledges that door latch will not operate/close when it malfunctions. Suggested I use tape to hold door shut-while waiting for replacement latch. Part # 3B1-837-015-ak lock
