I had been having some problems with getting my key out of my ignition in my 2002 Honda CRV. Sometimes it would get stuck and not turn all the way off, I.e., the power would still be on but the engine was off. Recently the key would not come out of the ignition at all. I had to jiggle it and try to force turn it. I took it to my mechanic who had a locksmith work on the "tumblers". this solved the problem for about a week. Even with the work done, it happened again. I took it back to my mechanic and we had to replace the entire ignition lock system. The locksmith installed it and did not charge labor for the second job. After reading some of the reports about this problem with Honda CRV's, I am now concerned that the problem may be with the gear shift.

The reason for this report is that while driving on the interstate at approximately 55 miles per hour in the right hand lane. My engine just died as if the key was turned off. I coasted over to the shoulder of the interstate. It was very fortunate that I was not in a faster lane of this four lane interstate, as this could have very well caused a major accident. After I was stopped on the shoulder my ignition was still in the on position. I tried to restart my engine and it started so I proceeded on. I took it to my Honda dealer and they stated that they had never heard of this happening before. They put it on the computer plus test drove it and said the could not find anything wrong. I am very concerned that this could happen again and possibly being involved in an accident. I checked an automotive website forum and noticed a few other people with this same vehicle had experienced the same problem. Their dealers could not find anything wrong, either. Has anyone reported this problem to the NHTSA before?
