| Description of the problem | Electronic shifter stays in neutral after turning off the vehicle and taking foot off the brake while parking. This is a serious design flaw and often causes a dangerous rolling condition after parking until the driver is aware the vehicle is not stopped and in park. No audible alerts or safety warnings are trigged if you do not press park. In one case our vehicle rolled across a parking lot causing serious damage totaling $4,213. 95 and could have easily killed someone. |
