Car won't start even with the key in it. Didn't have this problem before, along with the airbag light is now on. Prior to bringing the car to honda accord dealer for the other recalls none of this was a problem. Now my car makes a sound while I'm driving like a rattle sound along with the airbag light being on.

On june 28, 2013 I got into my car and tried to crank up my car. My ignition switch would not turn over to crank the car. I found this to be surprising when I didn't have problems with my switch in the past. I called honda, they indicated that it maybe my key, or my ignition switch, and to bring it in for an inspection. After the inspection honda stated that I needed a new ignition switch that would cost $1000. After I was told what I had to pay for the repair, I asked was there any recalls on the ignition switch, the dealer said "no" I later called an attorney for the matter he ask for my VIN # and he would look into it. After looking into the matter he indicated that my car was not under warranty and to call 18009991009 honda services. I called honda they informed me that I had an inspection for the ignition switch in 2010. I think honda is not telling the truth, I feel I was over charged, for the repair.
