NHTSA Complaint #10981503 — 2004 HONDA CIVIC

MY KEY WOULD COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE NOT IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT FULLY GO INTO PARK UNLESS FORCEFULLY PULLED BACK INTO PARK SO SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T BE IN PARK ALL NIGHT OR WHILE IN PUBLIC PARKING LOTS. MY HONDA MADE KEY HAD TO GO INTO THE IGNITION FACING PERFECTLY ONE WAY TO START THE CAR THEN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY REFUSED THE KEY AND WOULDN'T TURN ONCE IT ACCEPTED IT. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION THE CAR, IN A PUBLIC GAS STATION PARKING LOT, WAS NOT EVEN IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I WAS COMPLETELY ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. MY IGNITION NO LONGER TURNS AT ALL, I'VE ALREADY CHECKED THAT THE CHIP IN MY KEY IS STILL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. POLICE OFFICERS TRIED TO HELP ME CORRECT THE ISSUE WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOW ALSO ACTING UP SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE RADIO FLASHES INSTEAD OF STAYING ON, I AM NOW UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TIME ON THE RADIO CLOCK AND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO SHUT OFF.
