Description of the problem | The shifter does not always go into park. I have to sometimes make multiple attempts pushing up on the shifter for it to go to park. This has happened more than a dozen times. For example, once i was going into park i pushed the lever up all the way until it stopped. I believed i was in park because the lever would not go up anymore, but i was in reverse. When i would push it up again it went to neutral and stopped. Then i would repeat to go into park. The last incident i was actually in reverse and did not know and the kids were attempting to get out of the car and the vehicle began moving backwards. Although i was not physically looking at the gear i was in... I felt as though i should have been in park. I am 36 years old and have owned over 15 brand new vehicles (chevy, subaru, ford, toyota etc.) i have never had this happen to me before as i am a very good driver with a clean record and never have been involved in any type of accident. This tells me that beyond the shifter being totally different than what people are used to... It sometimes does not even go into park when you are trying and sometimes needs multiple attempts. |
