Honda Accord Ignition Systems Investigated
From Associated Press
Federal regulators are investigating whether certain models of the Honda Accord have a faulty ignition system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.
NHTSA is investigating Accords from the 1999-2001 model years. There are about 1.2 million Accords on the road from those years.
Federal regulators have received complaints that the ignition system allows the driver to remove the key when the vehicle is in positions other than “park.” If the vehicle is stopped but not in “park,” it could roll and get into a crash, the agency said.
Honda spokeswoman Sara Pines said the company was cooperating with the investigation.
