Details

What's wrong: The park rod assembly contains a park cam with inadequate surface hardness, which could lead to park disengagement or no park engagement when the lever is placed in park.

Why it matters: If park is not engaged and the parking brake is off, avehicle roll-away could result.

The fix: Replace park rod assembly on automatic transmissions.
