| My key can be pulled from the ignition without first putting the shifter in park. if the emergency brake isn't applied the car can roll but cannot be steered. it is dangerous. acura and honda have a number of recalls for this issue, including some 2000 tl vins but apparently doesn't include my vin under the recall. the description of the recall exactly matches my symptoms and it is a serious safety issue and a very expensive repair. onset date and mileage are approximate. i've been living with this problem for years hoping that acura would eventually recognize that they are responsible for this and pay for the repair. *tr | |||

| When turning car off ignition transmission interlock failed and the car was left in neutral and after exiting car it rolled backward (on a hillside) & hit parked truck. very risky! i didn't know that acura tl had prior years (thru 99) that were recalled. also honda had other models in later years with the same problem. called national honda 800 and they verified not covered. i had fixed, but honda is putting public at risk! *tr | |||
