    I can take my key out of the ignition while in drive. Because of the setup of the shifter, and the short space between gears, it's not apparent that the car's not in park, and fairly common for me to remove the key while in drive. I've not had this problem with other cars. Several times i've taken the key out and the car started rolling a little before i stepped on the brake and put the key back in and shifted to…

    Difficulty shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear... I called honda care services and i was told that my vehicle is out of warranty and they can't shoulder the cost which is unacceptible given that this van had been recalled for transimission issue and many owners had failed transmission. I like honda vehicles and recommended to my family and friends but after this incident i will never buy another honda product again. *tt

    Traveling at 65 mph the transmission failed without warning. No warning lights, no slippage... A complete failure. I managed to get into breakdown lane before transmission had completely seized. I was driving with my 72 yr old mother and 3 children, ages 4,6,8. I feel very lucky i was not involved or caused a vehicular fatality due to this failure. All recommended maintenance had been done at dealerships. A compete…
