KEY STUCK IN GAP BETWEEN WHEEL AND COLUMN!

Ok, for those of you with a lot of keys on your keyring, watch out! I've got three sets of car keys, work keys, work truck keys, house keys, and other keys (3 key rings full of keys). Well, when I was driving I had to make a sharp right into a parking lot. Keys started flinging around and one got stuck in the gap between the steering wheel and the column. Needless to say it made the steering wheel get stuck in place, and I almost crashed into a row of parked cars. Thank god I panicked and got superman power. I cranked the steering wheel and actually snapped the key that was stuck in half. Dam, now I have to get a new key for my accord! Be careful!

Sunds like a good reason to separate your car keys from your other keys.

The only thing I have on the keyring with the key is the keyless entry fob. Nice-n-tidy.

Must be strange to have so many keys. I just have my civic key, house key, one of those super tiny super bright led flashlights for quick afterdark mod tuneups and my 2-way alarm control. but sorry to hear how your car has such a carnivorous appetite against your accord, must be jealous or just sibling rivalry perhaps?

Sibling rivalry may be it. I've also got a 72 challenger, and they seem to get tempermental around each other or when my g/f is in the car.

Also, watch sometimes when you put too many keys on your keychain....I have heard some stories from people who have actually "broken" the ignition keyhole from all the keys swinging around everytime you drive...not sure if it is true, but just what I heard...
