What owners wrote
On several occasions prior to august, 2010, I have parked the vehicle, exited the vehicle, locked the doors and returned from my errand, only to find that the vehicle had been left in gear. Nothing happened on the first several occasions but then in 2010, there was a recall on certain hondas for the same problem I had experienced. The keys are not supposed to come out of the vehicle if it is left in gear.
Transmission needs to be replaced. Car will not go into reverse. This is a honda recall and honda will not honor since the car is over the age for the warranty but still within the mileage. This vehicle was always serviced at the dealer where it was purchased and were never informed of the recall.
