VEHICLE WILL NOT CRANK WITH TRANSMISSION IN PARK, MUST BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE UNINTENTIONALLY WHILE STARTING IN NEUTRAL. WHEN THE SHIFTER IS PLACED IN PARK, THE TRANSMISSION IS MECHANICALLY IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ROLL. THE DASHBOARD SHIFTER POSITION INDICATOR DOES NOT HIGHLIGHT "P" THOUGH WHEN IN PARK, AND THUS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CRANK. TO START THE VEHICLE, I HAVE TO HAVE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, PRESS START/STOP, MOVE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL, THEN PRESS START/STOP BUTTON TO CRANK ENGINE. UNINTENDED ROLL AWAY RISK SINCE VEHICLE IS STARTED IN NEUTRAL.
