by stops working, do you mean you feel the compressor shut off, or do you mean it starts blowing hot? If it's the compressor shutting off, that's completely normal - -just leave the AC on and it'll kick in again in a few seconds. Actually all cars do this, but on smaller engines it's a lot more noticible. > >2) Driver side door lock.

Totally normal. All hondas have this. It's an attempt to keep you from accidentally locking the door with the keys inside. > >3) very very tight steering.
