Consumer Description

WHEN SHIFTING INTO "PARK" THERE IS A WARNING THAT APPEARS ON THE DASH AS "SHIFT TO PARK". THE "P" INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE AND DOES NOT ENGAGE SAFETY FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH PLACING THE VEHICLE IN "PARK". THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DISPLAY TO STAY ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY IF NOT CORRECTED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ADDRESSED ON TSB 15-0047 BUT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT COULD LEAD TO A STRANDED MOTORIST.
