Description of the problem | The gear shift can be easily and accidentally knocked into reverse park or neutral while driving and wjrhout needing to apply brake. I was driving and my cellphone slid out of the cellphone mount and hit the knob and threw my into park while driving on the freeway at high 60 mph i was fast enough to move it back over to drive but it could have caused an accident or damage to the vehicle. This type of thing has happened on more than one occasion i accidentally put it in reverse while driving thinking i was moving the fan knob down at night while driving. Also my friends son put my car into park while adjusting the temperature as well. You should never be able to move the gears so easily or in reverse or park without brake or pushing the knob down or something terribly unsafe!! All of the times this has occurred i was driving also there gave been times i thought my car was in park but was not was actually in reverse very dangerous |
