| Description of the problem | Parked in parking lot on slight uphill incline. Took phone call as i stopped and forgot to put in park. After call ended, hit "off" button which is hidden behind steering wheel. Thought motor was "off" but really only on "acc". Opened door & started to get out. Car started to roll backwards. Able to get back in and put foot on brake. Car rolled about 10 yards before i stopped it. Happily, nothing was behind the car. The open door could have hit me and swept me under car but i was able to avoid it as i got back in. No harm to me or car but dangerous situation. Reported to hyundai & they said there was no fix other than to be sure car is in park before turning it off. With older cars with a key, could not take key out of ignition unless car was in park. But with key fob and push button ignition, that "fail safe" is no longer available. |
