What owners wrote
2008 honda accord. Consumer states the vehicle was parked, no keys in the ignition, and gear shift in park, when it rolled into another vehicle *tgw the consumer stated one month prior, the vehicle had been serviced for recall 11v395000. After the incident, the consumer contacted the dealer who performed the recall and they suggested she file a claim with her insurance company.
4-cyl engine shutdown at traffic light while idling. Car would not restart, windows and moonroof would open but not close, shift lever would not go out of "park". By some miracle driver and car survived rush hour traffic at dusk with assistance from police officer. Car towed to honda dealer who replaced 50 amp fuse (actually a multiple fuse) labeled "ig". Dealer advised by honda to giggle wires to try to duplicate problem. Problem did not reoccur and dealer returned car after 4 days. Old part not available.
