Description of the problem	Engine on and vehicle parked for 10 minutes with parking brake applied. Leaving from a parked position with engine running, parking brake released, i shifted from park into drive but the vehicle showed i was still in park. Could hear transmission shifting from p to d and to r but no information feedback. Eventually i found that i could engage in reverse, neutral, park, and drive but only park was showing on display. I tried restarting the van but it didn't change. Received errors for turning car off while in drive even though i was in park. I ended up driving with the car in "park" for about 100 miles to my destination. During the drive, there were lots of errors mainly the speedometer would not work ( had power but only said 0 mph). The tachometer remained at ~800rpm regardless of actual rpm. The gas gauge wouldn't work. Numerous errors occurred with the active braking system (alarm only). The srs defective indicator remained on the entire drive. When i reached my destination (gas station), shifted to park. I turned the car off again and completely disconnected everything electrical and let the van sit for ~5 minutes. The errors cleared when i restarted and the speedometer/tachometer/gas/srs all worked but i had a new check engine light activated. The only message was still related to srs but the cel stayed on even after acknowledging the service message. After about ~200 miles and 3-4 restarts the cel cleared and everything worked properly for the remainder of our trip (about 1000 miles round trip). Later, i was able to recreate a similar system malfunction when applying the parking brake. I've since been able to conjur random errors all related with safety systems and the park/drive/reverse scenario 50% of the time after applying and releasing the parking brake. The errors only happen after activation and release of the parking brake (so far to this day).
