Automatic Transmission Park/neutral Start Switch Problems of Honda CR-V

My car had been parked for several hours at a relatively flat area at the top of a hill. When I got in to start the car, the light came on that the tail gate was open. I went to the back of the vehicle to slam the gate and the window. When I got around to the front door of the car and opened it, I heard a pop and the car started rolling. I stuck my foot in to get my foot on the brake, but the open door knocked me down and the car continued rolling till it hit a stone wall. I am sure that I had the car in park. That day I got a rental car which has the gear shift on the floor. My car has the gear shift on the dash board. For days, every time I stopped, my hand would automatically go up to the dash board to move it into park. I am sure I had the car in park. It was not rolling when I was standing behind it to slam the tail gate and window. It was not rolling when I went back to the front door. I don't know what the "pop" was, but that was when the car started rolling. Fortunately, my injury was slight. When the door knocked me down, I rolled away from the car. The bottom of the open door bruised and gouged the front of my right leg. I did not go to the hospital.

The gear shifter became hard to shift at times, the consumer was told to make sure the brake was pressed hard enough when the gear was placed into park or being taken out of park. Three weeks later the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle rolled while still in park, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the consumer was told the part was exposed to elements which caused it to rust.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Cr-v. After parking the vehicle, it was impossible to shift the gear lever out of park. The contact had to continuously depress the brake pedal and force the gear out of park multiple times. The dealer stated that the brake switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

While I was shopping, my parked crv popped out of gear, going from park to neutral. It then rolled backwards into another parked vehicle. I left my crv in park, and it is impossible to have removed the key unless it was in park. Honda readily agrees this to be the case. Honda has torn my car apart, searching for the cause, and come up with nothing. Subsequently, I have seen many news reports of Honda's "popping" out of gear, and I am afraid. I drive a treacherous mountain/canyon road to and from work each day; I cannot afford to have this happen on that road, for all reports indicate that the driver loses control of the vehicle when it happens. I am thankful that my crv was parked when it popped out of gear.

The crv tends to pop out of gear--2nd gear and reverse.
