Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall of more than 384,000 cars because of problems with the automatic transmission.

2003 Honda Accords, Civic two and four door models and 2003-2004 Honda Element vehicles are all being recalled. The company says the problem may develop over time and force the car to roll when you think the car is shifted into park.

According to USA Today, "Honda recalled more than 560,000 minivans and sedans, including the 1998-99 Accord, to correct the ignition park-shift interlock defect in October 2003."

Dealers will replace the interlock pin and lever within the ignition switch in these cars starting in late September.

If you have questions you can call Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
