| Description of the problem | I was out of the country and didn't start my car few about ten days. When i come back the battery was dead. I had it jump started. As i was leaving the lot and going up a slight incline the car stalled while in drive - the battery was dead again. I could not move the transmission from drive to park with a dead battery. Fortunately i was able to get the car restarted with another jump. In the meantime the car rolled backwards until i applied the emergency brake.. So there were two issues, you cant move the transmission from drive to park if the battery is dead and the car rolls backward in drive (which i have experienced on other occasions). |
