Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ELEMENT AND THE KEYS ARE NOT WORKING IN THE DOORS CORRECTLY. THEY WORK SOMETIMES AND NOW THE IGNITION WILL NOT WORK WITH THE KEYS. I HAVE BEEN READING FOR TWO HOURS ON COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WONDERING WHY THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS ON THIS MATTER. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THIS RESOLVED. MY ELEMENT WILL NOT CRANK NOW BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM STUCK. WHAT DO I DO NOW? I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY EITHER. *TR
