After driving my Honda Accord for 135,000 miles, the ignition switch malfunctioned and I am unable to start the car, it seems like I need to replace the switch. After doing research I found out that many Hondas of the same model and years 2003-2009 experienced the same issues which leads me to believe their might be a manufacturing default.

Tail lights stopped working, passenger and both back windows wont roll down...from forums I've read this is common. Honda needs to issue a recall and fix this for everyone!! Also anyone else have to replace wiper linkage due to the excessive windshield wipers when they slam down, they've done this since bought the car off the lot brand new!
