Honda 6 speed manual transmission reverse gear lock out safety mechanism failed to work until now. The problem is still existed on my vehicle. After my car was serviced at Honda dealer for engine block replacement (failed at 3400 miles), reverse gear lock out do not work. Having the reverse gear gate located at far right, there must be electronic lock out mechanism not allowing the shift selector pass the 5th and 6th gear column when car is moving forward at certain speed. Since such function has failed on my car, I can easily move the shifter to the column where reverse gear is at any speed. Problem is if I shift from 5th to 6th, shifter slide into reverse gear gate and grinds at high speed. It caused another shifting problem and it maybe potentially safety issue at highway speed. When I shift from 4th to 5th, again shifter slides pass the 5th gear gate, and ends up miss shift since there is no forward gear on top of reverse gear selecting column. I fear the grinds shifting to 6th. I have been driving without overdrive for more than 1 month.. it could cause potentially dangerous situation accelerating at ramp to motorway. There are significant time delay accelerating with higher gears on freeway. Have been to Honda dealers 3 times. Unfortunately all of service advisors and techs were aware of the gear shifting safety feature which is clearly published in owners manual page 490.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Accord. The contact emailed Honda of covington (100 holiday square blvd, covington, la 70433, (985) 892-0001) because the tire pressure monitoring system indicator illuminated. On September 11, 2019, while driving 35 mph, the auto brake system suddenly engaged and stopped the vehicle. There were no vehicles in front of the contact at the time of the failure. The dealer was emailed again regarding the failure. Later, the vehicle moved on its own in reverse from a parked position and struck a neighbor's mailbox. There were no injuries. The manufacturer was contacted and roadside service towed the vehicle to the same dealer. The dealer stated that there was $3,700 worth of damage, but no failure codes were located. The contact researched and found numerous complaints and a lawsuit filed against the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 700. The VIN was unknown.
