| Description of the problem | I pulled into a parking space and put the car in park. As i did so, the engine revved and the car lurched forward striking a tree. The air bags deployed and the car was written off by the insurance company. I had noticed a couple of times before that the engine would rev as i was slowing to a stop, but had never had any issues with the transmission. |
