My 2003 Honda Civic VIN #[xxx] purchased new in 2003. , now have 79,449 odometer reading. Since I got it, sometimes when I insert the ignition key to start the car the key would not turn to starting positiion it just stucked in the keyhole. I remove the key and try to shake and turn the steering wheel and/or step on the gas pedal, then reinsert the key to start the car. Somtimes it start , at times it takes 2-4 times then the key turns to start the car. This happens ocassionally but lately more frequently about 80% every time . I read in the October 2010 consumer reports magazine that there is a recall of 2003-04 Honda accord, Civic and element with the problem that the interlock lever of the ignition switch might deform interfering with the automatic transmission. I called dick hannah Honda where I bought my car and asked them about this recall. They informed me that they do not have the list of recalled 2003 Civics at this time.
