Consumer Description

1 MONTH AGO RECEIVED "SHIFT TO PARK" NOTICES THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE POWERED OFF. WOULD RESTART ENGINE, MOVE SHIFTING LEVER MULTIPLE TIMES, AND EVENTUALLY WOULD ALLOW VEHICLE TO BE POWERED OFF (ELECTRICALLY). TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTING LEVER, REPORTING THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN PARKING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, BUT AGAIN RECEIVED THE SHIFT TO PARK NOTICE, WITH ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL ON. THIS TIME, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. COULD NOT RESTART ENGINE, AND SHIFTING LEVER WAS STUCK IN PLACE. HAD TO SET THE PARKING BREAK AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME. FORTUNATELY THIS OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT SOMEWHERE WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEE STRANDED.
