Ignition switch should prevent the driver from retrieving the key while shift lever is in any position other than parking. This failure allows the driver to retrieve the key while the shift lever is in any position therefore allowing the car to roll down if parked in a slope and hit people or other cars.

Instrument panel lights completely out. Very obviously the same issue referenced in nhtsa recall #04v256000 for the lx version of the accord.

My ignition-park interlock is faulty but isn't under the current recall. It may be common sense to put the e-brake on when parking but not everyone is perfect, my vehicle has nearly rolled away multiple times now. Luckily i caught it in time to stop it from crashing. Also if i do leave the vehicle in d4 with the e-brake on, ignition key out of course, and i leave the vehicle parked, someone could break in and push…

Isolated the malfunction and found that the steering shaft is only intermittently grounded, and the horn requires that ground in order to function. The horn (and the steering shaft ground) operates perfectly when the key is removed from the ignition switch. It appears that something in the ignition switch is…

Took about 10 min to get the car to start. After the car started, went into reverse and backed out of the parking space. Put the car in drive and it "chugged" a couple of times. Then the car accelerated unexpectedly. She was unable to slow the car…
