Consumer Description

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND TURN OFF THE SWITCH, THE CAR KEEPS ROLLING AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY HINDRANCE DUE TO ENGAGED GEAR FROM ROLLING IT. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM, AS MY OTHER CARS DON'T DO THIS. ON MY MAZDA CX-9, IF I PUT IT IN GEAR AND TRUN OFF THE SWITCH, THE GEAR STAYS ENGAGED AND PREVENTS THE CAR FROM ROLLING. I THINK MY ACURA HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT LETS THE CAR ROLL EVEN WHEN IT IS IN THE GEAR AND ENGINE IS OFF. I HAVE ASKED MY DEALER IN FREMONT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND HE SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS. BUT MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT. I WILL APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANT, AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I AM AFRAID THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS.
