Consumer Description

PARKED CAR. MOVED TRANSMISSION LEVER TO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS PARK (PUSH STRAIGHT UP). STARTED TO SWING OUT OF CAR PUTTING WEIGHT ON OUTSIDE FOOT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED - IT CAN BE REMOVED IN ANY GEAR POSITION JUST LIKE THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD RECALL SAYS. THE ACURA OF THE SAME YEAR NEVER HAD THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS USING THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART NUMBERS. CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND I WAS FORCED TO STOP CAR USING FOOT AND HAND PRESSURE RESULTING IN SLIGHT SPRAIN TO WRIST REQUIRING NO ADDITIONAL CARE. THIS IS A TROUBLING SAFETY ISSUE THAT WAS ACTUALLY RECALLED FOR HONDA BRAND VEHICLES ONLY IGNORING ACURA BRAND DEFECTS. *TR
