Consumer Description

THE MECHANISM THAT LOCKS THE KEY IN THE IGNITION UNTIL THE VEHICLES IS SHIFTED INTO PARK FAILS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA.THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT SHIFTING INTO PARK. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLES TO ROLL OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND HURT AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER OR ROLL OFF INTO AN INTERSECTION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AND HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS KEY- IGNITION ISSUE. ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T SUFFERED ANY ACCIDENT I ALWAYS TRY TO REMEMBER TO KEEP MY CAR IN PARK BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY. I HAVE HEARD FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR FOR BOTH THE ODYSSEY AND THE PILOT. *TR
