Driver immediately put foot on brake pedal and noted the car was not in park and moved gear selector which resulted in no further motion of vehicle, checking it again this morning for confirmation, I found the problem remains. No matter what gear it is shut down in ,other than park, the vehicle rolls freely. I had thought it happened only if shut down in neutral, but it is all other than park. …”

This does not happen all the time, no lights or warnings come on and nothing shows up when the repair people hook it up to a computer. This is a huge safety factor as it usually happens when turning left (does not happen when turning to the right. Usually, when turning left, a person has traffic coming at them from the right. …”
