Consumer Description

I WAS ABOUT TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BUT IT COULD NOT GET IN. THE KEY MEETS RESISTANCE AND GETS IN AFTER I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION, IT WONT BUDGE AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS LOCKED. SINCE THEN, I DO NOT TAKE THE KEY OFF THE IGNITION BECAUSE I AM AFRAID I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT IN. IT IS A REALLY SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT VOLUNTARILY. I WENT ON LINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OWNERS WHO ARE LEFT ALONE TO DEAL WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. WHY DO I HAVE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. HONDA SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR FLAGRANT IRRESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE HELP US. THANK YOU. *TR
