Description of the problem	Two previous avalons (97&98) and the one identified here, did and does allow the key to be removed from the ignition with the car being in park. The danger is that the car will roll and could run over someone or into traffic and cause serious injury. My husband and i always reminded each other to put the car in park, but he is no longer with me and recently i started to get out of the car and it was on a slight incline and it started rolling while i was getting out. I have complained in the past to toyota, but they didn't believe me. A recent complaint brought the answer that the 36000 mile warranty doesn't apply to the repair. I understand that, but this is evidently a serious issue with avalons that toyota has refused to address, or my 2006 wouldn't have the same problem. We have almost always bought used cars and trucks and have never had a vehicle that would allow the key to be removed without being in park. You ask for a specific date at the end of this "step". It is ongoing so i have just put yesterdays date. The car was a gift in september of 2014.
