general problems of the 2019 Honda Accord - part 2

Purchased new 2019 Honda Accord sedan on 07/17/2019. While driving on vacation in September 2019 on interstate going around 75 mph reached over to put cup in holder and lightly bumped gear shift. This moved gear shift back from drive to neutral. Did not touch button on front of stick to change gears! pushed back on stick to put back into drive and it moved back into drive without braking or using button on stick to change from neutral to drive. This happened again later in September on interstate while going 60 mph by hitting gear stick with my knee while repositioning legs in seat driving. Also once again in December on interstate while driving around 60 mph also bumping back of gear stick. I have had no repairs. Did ask service department at patty peck Honda why this was occuring and they denied that it was even possible.

Honda 6 speed manual transmission reverse gear lock out safety mechanism failed to work until now. The problem is still existed on my vehicle. After my car was serviced at Honda dealer for engine block replacement (failed at 3400 miles), reverse gear lock out do not work. Having the reverse gear gate located at far right, there must be electronic lock out mechanism not allowing the shift selector pass the 5th and 6th gear column when car is moving forward at certain speed. Since such function has failed on my car, I can easily move the shifter to the column where reverse gear is at any speed. Problem is if I shift from 5th to 6th, shifter slide into reverse gear gate and grinds at high speed. It caused another shifting problem and it maybe potentially safety issue at highway speed. When I shift from 4th to 5th, again shifter slides pass the 5th gear gate, and ends up miss shift since there is no forward gear on top of reverse gear selecting column. I fear the grinds shifting to 6th. I have been driving without overdrive for more than 1 month. . It could cause potentially dangerous situation accelerating at ramp to motorway. There are significant time delay accelerating with higher gears on freeway. Have been to Honda dealers 3 times. Unfortunately all of service advisors and techs were aware of the gear shifting safety feature which is clearly published in owners manual page 490.
