| Description of the problem | Regarding recall 16v-240. I am writing to encourage nhtsa to require fca to replace the electronic shift selector with one that stays in the position corresponding to the transmission gear selection. More display warnings and printed cards will not solve the user interface problem created by the shifter moving back to center regardless of the transmission gear selection. On numerous occasions, i have moved the shift selector forward from drive toward park, thinking that i had heard/felt 3 clicks and that i was in park, only to find that the vehicle is in reverse. |
