Vehicle was driven and parked on sloped driveway in 1st gear with parking brake engaged fully and engine off. Driver walked into house came back 5-10 minutes later. Vehicle had rolled down hill and hit transformer. When vehicle was opened parking brake was fully engaged but was not in 1st gear but neutral. We tried to recreate this event. There was no way driver could have left the vehicle if brake was not fully engaged due to steepness of the driveway. If brake was not fully engaged, vehicle would roll very fast down driveway. Note same failure reported on a 1999 Civic at your oid id #720978.

Car jumps out of 2nd gear for no reason at all. I can be just driving along, and all of the sudden I'm in neutral with cars bearing down on me in all directions. Honda knows of the problem, according to the dealer, but the part supposedly required to fix it is on national back order. In the mean time, I'm stuck in a car that is liable to make me a sitting duck while I try to get it back into gear. Honda shows no interest in getting me out of the car until it can be repaired.
