The issue at hand involves a 2000 Honda Accord (coupe); I am able to turn the car off and remove the key from the ignition without putting the car into park. I am not sure of when this issue began. However, in mid-2008, I mistakenly left the car in drive and removed the key when parking my car in a parking lot, I left the parking lot and my car proceeded to roll backward and struck another vehicle at some point. This happened again this month. After this point, I researched recall information and saw that in 2005, NHTSA issued campaign 05v025000. I took my car into a dealer to have the issue investigated. My vehicle did indeed have the same issue (malfunctioning interlock) as the one in the recall, but my VIN was not a part of that recall.
