NHTSA Complaint #10525979 — 2003 HONDA ACCORD

ON JUNE 28, 2013 I GOT INTO MY CAR AND TRIED TO CRANK UP MY CAR. MY IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN OVER TO CRANK THE CAR. I FOUND THIS TO BE SURPRISING WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY SWITCH IN THE PAST. I CALLED HONDA, THEY INDICATED THAT IT MAYBE MY KEY, OR MY IGNITION SWITCH, AND TO BRING IT IN FOR AN INSPECTION. AFTER THE INSPECTION HONDA STATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH THAT WOULD COST $1000. AFTER I WAS TOLD WHAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, I ASKED WAS THERE ANY RECALLS ON THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE DEALER SAID "NO" I LATER CALLED AN ATTORNEY FOR THE MATTER HE ASK FOR MY VIN # AND HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT. AFTER LOOKING INTO THE MATTER HE INDICATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND TO CALL 18009991009 HONDA SERVICES. I CALLED HONDA THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD AN INSPECTION FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH IN 2010. I THINK HONDA IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH, I FEEL I WAS OVER CHARGED, FOR THE REPAIR. *TR
