INTERMITTENT IGNITION SWITCH FUNCTION. *KB

I AM ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM MY IGNITION WHEN MY CAR IS IN GEAR. I HAVE CHECKED THE NHTSA DATABASE AND THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE ON 2000 HONDA ACCORDS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V025000 ). I WENT TO HONDA AND SPOKE WITH THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR ME AS MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR'S VIN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST, AS IT IS EXHIBITING THE RECALL SYMPTOMS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

HONDA IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CLEARCOAT. *TR

I HAD LEFT THE CAR IN A PARKING STRUCTURE. APPARENTLY I HAD LEFT THE GEAR IN REVERSE RATHER THAN IN PARK. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR WITH MY IGNITION KEY IN HAND THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL, AND SUBSEQUENTLY CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH WAS PARKED. THE DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL, BUT COSTLY TO REPAIR ANYHOW. THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH A BABY IN A CARRIAGE WHICH WAS NARROWLY MISSED BY THE MOVING VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER NOT IN PARK. IN FACT, THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL 05V025000 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH ALMOST 500000 CARS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MINE WERE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, MY PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. HONDA DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE MY WARRANTY HAS LONG EXPIRED AND MY CAR IS NOT COVERED...

CAR KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT REQUIRING THE DRIVER TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED LAST MONTH AND AM NOT ACCUSTOMED TO DRIVING AN AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I HAVE LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE MOTOR, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR BEGIN ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CURIOUSLY, THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE NHTSA ISSUED RECALL NO. 05V025000. HOWEVER, DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. REFUSE TO REPAIR THE CAR BECAUSE ITS VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE RANGE THAT HONDA BELIEVES TO BE INCLUSIVE OF CARS WITH THIS DEFECT. UNBELIEVABLE. CAR IS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE INNER LOCK ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING WHICH ALLOWED THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK.

I DRIVE A 2000 ACCORD COUPE LX 4 CYC. AND SOME TIME MY CAR WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND DIE. ONCE MY CAR LOOSE POWER I CAN NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OF THE CAR. SEVERAL TIMES DURING A TURN AND WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BEFORE ANY ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES, BUT EACH TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON 2000 BUT ONLY 98-99 ACCORDS. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE BUT AT MY EXPENSIVE. I WAS OUTRAGED THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HONDA NEEDS TO FIX BEFORE I MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO MANY DEALERSHIPS BUT NONE OF THEM ARE WILLING...

I CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM MY 2000 ACCORD WHILE THE GEAR SHIFT IS STILL IN DRIVE. I DID THIS ONCE THINKING I HAD PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, AND AFTER EXITING THE CAR IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD.

HOWEVER, THEY DIDN'T PROMISE ME THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME AFTER THE INSPECTION.*AK

SINCE THE VEHICLE'S VIN WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHICH EXPERIENCED THE DEFECT OF THE RECALL. *PH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM.
