Problem 03 accord lx - 4 door/ auto transmission. i first noticed this when walking past the locked car, no keys in the ignition, the display would light up ever few minuets. the radio turns on spontaneously without the key in the ignition, draining battery, leaving me stranded. could hear a crackling loud sound coming from speakers off and on while taking left or right turns for about a year, radio working off and on, eventual the sound went out, radio appears to work but no longer has sound, display still lighting up and draining battery. no wrecks.

I purchased a honda accord ex about 30 days ago, used, of course. the ignition switch is locking. i can turn the car off but it takes me about 10 min to wiggle the key out. i have to turn car on or halfway on and off in hopes of getting the key out. the gear shift indicator on the dashboard reads as though the car is in park and drive at the same time. honda doesn't have a recall for this but per my research it happens to a lot of people and has to be more than a user error. i may have to pay allthis money to get something fixed that is faulty in the car and should be replaced as the key should be able to come out with no issue. *tr
