    This morning I tried to start my 2003 Honda Accord EX and it didn't
    want to start. Seemed like a low battery although I don't think I left
    anything on overnight. I tried a few times without success so I took
    the key out and then it started. Yup, it started without the key. I
    decided to put the key in and I was able to turn it to the proper
    position without resistence. I drove it for my short errand and
    everything seems okay but I'm still concerned. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Elena

    Ignition switch. This is one area where Honda has had problems. I never
    had any problems but my 98 was recalled for a bad ignition switch.

  3. Do you have a remote starter or possibly an aftermarket alarm? It
    seems very strange that it would start the engine by itself.
