MDX

  • 145,000 miles
I have a 2003 Acura MDX which has a defective ignition switch interlock mechanism. When in drive I can turn the engine off and remove the key. I have had the car roll away momentarily. The problem is exactly the same as described in the Honda recall issued 8/9/10 for 2003 Accord, civic and element vehicles.
