    2003 Honda - Difficulty changing gear from park to drive
    I have a 2003 Honda Accord. Every other time I turn on my car I have difficulty getting the car out of park. It takes several attempts to get the car into gear (Reverse , Drive, etc.) and sometimes I have to turn the wheel in order for it to work. What do you think is the problem?

    I had a 2000 accord and I had the same problem! Come to find out it was a switch that needed replacing. The switch tells the car that the break lamp is on and therefore allowing the car to go out of part and into drive, reverse or whatever... I now have a 2003 accord v6 coupe and the tcs light has been coming on when I'm driving (sometimes) and then yesterday I noticed that when I first started the car the light immediately came on and I couldn't get my car out of park the first couple of tries... so I looked it up on the internet and I read that someone replaced the switch and it fixedt he problem. The person (and me) didn't quite understand what it had to do with the TCS... but it fixed their problem... so I'm going to try and take mine to the mechanic and see if that is the problem!
