Consumer Description

RANDOMLY, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER TO REVERSE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE INDEPENDENTLY SETS SUCH THAT PARK IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AS WELL AS REVERSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE VEHICLE IS IN BOTH REVERSE AND PARK SIMULTANEOUSLY AS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. HOWEVER, I AM TOLD BY GM THAT THE PARK DISPLAYED ON THE DASH IS REALLY INDICATING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS SET AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK. IF THE VEHICLE CAN INDEPENDTLY SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN MOVING THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF PARK, CAN THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION? IF SO, A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
