problem #1

Aug 092003

Accord 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles
I removed ignition key, thinking transmission was in park, and exited from car. The car rolled away. I discovered it was in drive. Honda has a recall # 03V423000 for this identical problem. The problem on my car has been verified by the dealer. I am being told that the recall does not include 1997S, only 1998-1999. I am hereby informing you that the problem also exists on 1997S (demonstratable on my vehical with 59K miles.) 1997's should also be included in the recall. My case number with Honda is NO12003-12-1000057. I would like to get this resolved immediately so that I can get a fix to a potentially dangerous situation. Thank you.
