| Description of the problem | I purchase the vehicle new on march 30. On sunday, april 1 the car automatically went into park assist mode without the button being pushed. This happened while driving 50 mph down the highway causing the transmission to shift into neutral. It would not shift back to drive. We had to pull over and turn the engine off and restart the vehicle to get the car to go in drive again. Luckily we were in an outside lane and could pull over to the edge of the highway. It is scary to think what could have happened had we been in the middle of rush hour traffic on the interstate. *tt |
