My key won’t open the driver’s side, but it can open the passenger side door, but when I press the button, it can lock and unlock all doors.

When you say key do you mean the remote or physical key in the lock? If you are using the remote it sounds like the BCM is going out which controls the door lock system. Here are the door lock wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Here is a guide on how to change out the BCM, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay:

Okay, this means the door lock tumbler is worn out or the key needs to be replaced, do you have another key you can try? Here is how to replace the tumbler in the door. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
