| 2003 honda odyssey ignition switch: we can remove the key without putting the vehicle in park problem has existed for at least 1 year. vehicle does not appear to be covered by a recall for this problem (per honda recall lookup by vin), but npr reports that honda has recalled some 1.4 million vehicles for this problem, including minivans (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyid=129085652 ) it seems likely that our vehicle model & year should be included in the recall, but is not. | |||
