Description of the problem	My car requires me to wait after pushing the start button before i can shift into drive or reverse. If i do not wait, then the car skips d or r and shifts into the neutral even when i select the gear shifter to r or d. I have explained this situation to my local austin nissan dealer on 5/28/15. It was explained to me that this is normal. I consider this a serious safety issue when i start my car on an incline or hill and attempt to shift to d or r. If i do not wait, then the car rolls downhill in neutral, regardless if i shift to d or r. The car is then able to lurch for several feet down and free roll downhill before i reapply my foot to the brake pedal. I could easily hit another car or pedestrian. It seems unsafe for the driver to have to remember to wait for > 0. 5 second (estimate) before shifting out of park. The electronics shifter should default to remain in park if it is not ready to go into d or r. Going into n seems like a poor electronic default position when shifting from p to d or r at the start of car. I found multiple complaints of this online when i searched "nissan leaf shift to neutral". Thanks for your consideration.
