“I pulled into my driveway, came to a complete stop, and put the vehicle in park. After releasing the break the vehicle lurched forward. I looked down to make sure the shifter was in park, and it was. I then looked under the odometer/speedometer to check if it was also showing in park, but it wasn't. The vehicle was still in drive. Next I put the gear shifter back in drive and returned again to park with the same result. I then tried to put the vehicle in neutral and back to park but the vehicle stayed in drive. …”
