Consumer Description

I WAS DROPPING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. I WAS IN LINE OF DROP OFF. I STOPPED MY CAR PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND REMOVED MY FOOT FROM BRAKE. SUDDENLY I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS MOVING JUST LIKE IN THE SPEED OF NEUTAL. I PUSHED THE BRAKES HARD BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. I CHECKED THE THE SHIFT WAS STILL IN THE PARK. SO IN SHORT, CAR WAS STILL MOVING WHEN IN PARK. SCARRY!!!!
