Consumer Description

AFTER SHIFTING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IN A PARKING LOT, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. AFTER TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK, THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BECAME UNATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND BECAME UNUSABLE. THE CAR ROLLED BACK AFTER THE SHIFTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS IN PARK, BUT LUCKILY THERE WAS ANOTHER PERSON TO ASSIST IN MOVING THE SHIFTER LINKAGE BACK ONTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO ALLOW THE CAR TO BE PUT INTO PARK.
