My 1999 honda accord ex rolled backwards after I left it parked on a level surface. I was able to remove the keys from the ignition and lock the car even though the car was left in neutral. The car rolled back 15-20 feet and was stopped by some large bushes and small trees. I presented the vehicle to my honda dealer to inspect the car after the federal safety agency recall was announced. The dealer declined to inspect the ignition interlock because honda would not authorize an inspection since car was not included in recall. I have spent roughly $100 to fix the punctured tail light cover (because trunk would flood when it rained). There was damage to the trunk, rear bumper, and side panels around the trunk. I would estimate the body damage repair costs between $1-2k. The ignition interlock has not been modified since the rollback incident. Please note that incident mileage and incident date are estimated as I didn't think anything of the incident until I heard about the recall and learned of the federal safety standard.*ak see also odi 10094192.
