Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS VEHICLE ALLOWS YOU TO TURN IT OFF BEING STILL IN "D" (WITHOUT EVEN SHIFTING IT TO "P"). IT DOESN'T WARN YOU AT ALL IF YOU FORGET TO SHIFT TO "P". IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, GOT OFF OF IT AND VEHICLE REMAINS IN "D", WITHOUT GIVING YOU ANY BEEP OF WARNING. THE OTHER DAY, I STOPPED/PARKED MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING SLOT AND TURNED IT OFF AND I FORGOT TO SHIFTED TO "P". IT PASSED A COUPLE OF MINUTES, WHILE I WAS DOING MY MAKEUP AND HAIR THAT THE CAR STARTED MOVING. WHEN I REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, VEHICLE HAD ALREADY MOVED ABOUT 3 YARDS (ALMOST OUT OF THE PARKING SLOT) LUCKILY I WAS STILL INSIDE THE CAR AND COULD BRAKE. SHOULD I HAVE LEFT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING IT OFF, IT HAS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HITTING PEOPLE/CARS BYPASSING.
