Car was in park, hand brake was up-limit, air conditioner and engine on, in a driveway with an incline. I was unloading three pet birds from car in over 90 degree weather, therefore left air conditioner on. When I was done unloading, I knelt on my knees on the front passenger seat and reached over to ignition, turned key and removed it. Car jumped gears to neutral and slid back down hill, into street, causing close to $2,000 damage to my car as well as damage to the car I was parked next to in driveway. I could easily have been severly hurt or killed had a car been coming up or down the street. I reported problem to american Honda. Sent numerous letters. Was initially just laughed at.
