Honda Cr-v Power Train Automatic Transmission Park/neutral Start Switch Safety Report | Aug 08, 2002
Reported on Aug 08, 2002
| WHILE I WAS SHOPPING, MY PARKED CRV POPPED OUT OF GEAR, GOING FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL. IT THEN ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. I LEFT MY CRV IN PARK, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE REMOVED THE KEY UNLESS IT WAS IN PARK. HONDA READILY AGREES THIS TO BE THE CASE. HONDA HAS TORN MY CAR APART, SEARCHING FOR THE CAUSE, AND COME UP WITH NOTHING. SUBSEQUENTLY, I HAVE SEEN MANY NEWS REPORTS OF HONDA'S POPPING OUT OF GEAR, AND I AM AFRAID. I DRIVE A TREACHEROUS MOUNTAIN/CANYON ROAD TO AND FROM WORK EACH DAY; I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN ON THAT ROAD, FOR ALL REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENS. I AM THANKFUL THAT MY CRV WAS PARKED WHEN IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR. | |
