NHTSA Complaint #10266772 — 2002 HONDA CR-V

I HAD BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH GETTING MY KEY OUT OF MY IGNITION IN MY 2002 HONDA CRV. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GET STUCK AND NOT TURN ALL THE WAY OFF, I.E., THE POWER WOULD STILL BE ON BUT THE ENGINE WAS OFF. RECENTLY THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AT ALL. I HAD TO JIGGLE IT AND TRY TO FORCE TURN IT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO HAD A LOCKSMITH WORK ON THE "TUMBLERS". THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A WEEK. EVEN WITH THE WORK DONE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE IGNITION LOCK SYSTEM. THE LOCKSMITH INSTALLED IT AND DID NOT CHARGE LABOR FOR THE SECOND JOB. AFTER READING SOME OF THE REPORTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH HONDA CRV'S, I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE WITH THE GEAR SHIFT. *TR
