My 2003 Odyssey has eaten my key and won't unlock those jaws of death in the tumbler OR LET ME START MY OWN CAR! AAARGH!. Why you ask? Well, I wish I knew but I can tell you it has something to do with the fact that my Van, even though the shift indicator indicates that it is in P, it is not. If it were truly in P, it would lock my steering wheel (and it's not) and it would let me have my dang key back. Anyone know what is to blame here? Electrical? Mechanical? Electromechanical? Brake switch possibly as is common in the Accord from this gen? I wish I would have checked that when I was at my stranded car but did not think of testing my brake lights to see if they work (which would confirm functionality of brake switch which is connected to the process of putting the vehicle all the way in Park and releasing the key.
Or... it could be something completely different.
I've heard Honda really ate it hard with this generation and key cylinder issues and premature failure. Totally unacceptable as they charge between $7000 - $900 to fix it and take advantage of a customer in distress.
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!? Thanks in advance guys!
