| The key for my 2001 acura cl can be removed regardless the position of the car's automatic transmission shift lever. in other words, the lock-out that should prevent this from happening in any position other than park is not functioning. this has occurred all the time over a period of several months and i understand this is a problem on other honda manufactured vehicles. as a result of this issue, my car rolled into my garage door after i had shut it off and gotten out of the vehicle, having mistakenly left in drive. damage minor. i have an appointment with the dealer for repairs (he doesn't believe me). since this is a potentially dangerous situation, a recall, or at least an owner alert, should be considered. *tr | |||
