Defect Description:

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

From a stop, the car will refuse to stay in either Drive or Reverse and jumps back into Park as soon as you take your foot off the brake pedal. Message center says the car is rolling, but it is NOT! My wife has been stuck twice in a situation where she could not drive the car. She tried the parking brake, but since it is not rolling, it does not help. The actual reason is that a door is ajar. Even the sales people did not know this. It took the service manager to explain it. I have sold the car at a loss because my wife will not drive it.
