Description of the problem	Several years ago on mycarstate. Com i found information that was helpful with my 1998 honda cr-v. But i haven't specifically seen information about this "next" issue. For the past year or so, on occasion, i can't get my car key out of the ignition switch. The car will not turn all the way off. I can't get the key to turn all the way to the left. If i restart the car, put it in any gear, move the car slightly (even an inch), turn the car off again, then i can remove the key. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to do all this, so there is no leaving the car immediately. Where this becomes a big issue is when i valet park the car. The valet's can't get the key out, therefore they either have to park my car near than and watch or park it elsewhere and i take my chances on the car not being entered by someone else. I'm 2 hours away from a honda dealer, i think. I'll try to find a dealer this week, as the problem seems to get worse in this colder weather. Any help would be appreciated.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
