What NHTSA recorded

When the automatic transmission shift lever is placed in the park position, the park pawl does not always abut or engage the park gear.

Possible consequence

Driver may believe the vehicle is safely engaged in parkwhen the gear is not truly engaged. This can lead to the vehicle jumping out ofgear unintentionally, vehicle rollaway when parked on a sloped surface, andinadvertent motion when the vehicle is started. All of these conditions canresult in a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Repair the transmission with a new park pawl.
