NHTSA Complaint #10502743 — 2003 HONDA PILOT

I WAS TRYING TO LEAVE FROM WORK AND WHEN I TRIED ENTERING THE KEY IT GOT STUCK HALF WAY. I REMOVED IT AND TRIED AGAIN AND THE KEY WENT IT BUT WOULD NOT TURN. I HAD TO TRY MANY TIMES AND THEN CALLED MY HUSBAND, HE SAID TO TAKE THE KEY OUT AND WAIT COUPLE MINUTES THEN TRY AGAIN. I DID WHAT HE SAID AND AFTER THE SECOND TRY IT FINALLY TURNED. SINCE THAT DATE I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER AND THOUGHT SINCE ITS A RECALL HONDA WOULD REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME. WELL TO MY SURPRISE I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO REPAIR. THE RECALL I RECEIVED SAID THE INTERLOCK LEVER IN THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY BECOME DEFORMED. :( *TR
