Consumer Description

THE KEY WAS DIFFICULT TO INSERT INTO THE IGNITION. ONCE IN, THE KEY WAS THEN VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE. FURTHERMORE WILL NOT TURN AS IT IS STUCK IN BETWEEN OFF AND ACCESSORY POSITIONS. HOURS WERE SPENT JIGGLING, BRINGING A LOCKSMITH TO MAKE ATTEMPTS AT REMOVING WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE HONDA PILOT HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 1 DAY OF A SERVICED RECALL FOR THE INTERLOCK LEVER WHICH INVOLVES THE IGNITION AND THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFTER. *TR
