Consumer Description

THE IGNITION SWITCH IN OUR 2003 PILOT HAS A TENDENCY OF GETTING STUCK. AT TIMES THE KEY WILL NOT TURN WHEN FULLY INSERTED. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING WITH SOME REGULARITY SINCE WE GOT THE CAR IN 2012. JUST YESTERDAY THE KEY PARTIALLY TURNED TO WHERE THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT ON, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN AND THE KEY GOT STUCK THERE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS SHARING, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SOMEWHAT COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODELS WHICH HONDA IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR.
