Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN TURNING OFF VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY IN PARK. WE HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHCIE AND SHIFT THE VEHICLE. AS DESIGNED, THE KEYS MUST STAY WITH THE VEHICLE, SO THE OCCUPANT EITHER HAS TO LEAVE THE KEYS UNSECURED OR STAY WITH THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE ELECTRONICS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN IN THIS STATE. WE HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE SOMEONE HAS TO STAY WITH THE VEHICLE FOR PERIODS OF TIME. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NO DEFINITIVE FIX.
