    The ignition is keyless. I pressed to turn off the engine and it shut off. But i forgot to shift into park. I exited the car. The car started rolling backward. I ran back to it, jumped in and shifted to park, stopping the car. If i hadn't noticed and stopped the car, someone might have been hurt. When you stop the engine, there should be an automatic shift to park or an automatic activation of the emergency brake.

    Low beam headlight switch failed and lost both low beam headlights at exactly same moment. Clearly a safety risk for night driving. I see honda has recalled this switch in past models. Failure occurred while driving at night.
