Owner Narrative

FAILURE OF THE IGNITION PARK-SHIFT INTERLOCK THAT ALLOWED THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING SHIFTED TO PARK. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AFTER I TURNED-OFF THE CAR WHILE IN D AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 05V025000 (WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER). THIS WAS ALSO ADDRESSED BY NHTSA ACTION RQ08006 (WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEGICLE'S VIN NUMBER). THE PROBLEM IS PERMANENT AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED THEM TO COVER THE FIX OF THIS ISSUE (CITING THE ABOVE NHTSA REPORTS) BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. MY REQUEST IF FOR NHTSA TO INSTRUCT HONDA TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE OF 05V02500 TO MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. MY ISSUE SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH HONDA ACCORD 1999-2002 AND MANY OTHER SIMILAR MODELS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER WAS OMITTED FROM PRIOR RECALLS (05V025000 AND 10V364000) BY AN ERROR. IT IS JUST OUT OF LUCK THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT HAPPEN EARLIER AND DIN NOT CAUSE A CRASH.
