Description of the problem | This car has an automatic transmission and it pulls out of park very easily with no key in the ignition or foot on the brake. This led to my car rolling down a hill and hitting a tree with no one in the drivers seat. When i went to the dealer they tried this on another car in the lot and it did the same thing. I was told by hyundai corporate offices that this is a "campaign" item. I can not find this problem listed and i think it should be addressed before it leads to injury or death. |
