Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2003 HONDA PILOT IN TO REPAIR THE IGNITION RECALL. EVER SINCE THE REPAIR I'VE BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT PRIOR TO THE SERVICE. I HAVE TO LITERALLY WIGGLE AND INSERT AND TAKE OUT THE KEY MANY TIMES FOR IT TO SIT RIGHT IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER PILOT OWNERS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. HONDA DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE JUST TO SEE IF MY PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE WORK THEY DID FOR THE RECALL. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE CHARGED JUST TO CHECK IF THEY CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. *TR
