NHTSA complaint: 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY — POWER TRAIN
THE SHIFT INTERLOCK FAILED IN MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY AND IT ROLLED BACKWARDS IN A PARKING GARAGE AND HIT TWO PARKED CARS. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION IN ANY GEAR AND APPARENTLY THAT DAY I PULLED MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THE PARKING SPACE SEEMED LEVEL SO I DIDN'T APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE. IT MUST HAVE ROLLED WHEN OTHER CARS DROVE PAST. I CALLED HONDA THAT DAY TO REPORT IT AND ATTEMPTED TO GET THEM TO PAY FOR THE FAILURE. THEY WOULDN'T PAY SAYING THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR JUST OVER $500.00 THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS OVER $2500.00 AND I DID DAMAGE TO TWO OTHER CARS THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAD TO PAY FOR. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS AROUND AND NO ONE GOT HURT. THIS HAPPENED IN A HOSPITAL PARKING GARAGE. *TR
