Car won't go into park. Has to be started in neutral. Car has tendency to roll. Wheel(s) has to be blocked. Stationary.
The car was driven into the driveway and put the car in park. He got of the car and opened the gate. At that time, the vehicle slipped out of park and began rolling down the driveway. It hit the curb, then a small tree on the front lawn of the house across the street and finally came to rest on the front stoop of the said house.
Car was running great, without any indication of problems. Car died and would not start. Resulting in engine failure.
I was driving home from having body work done, the engine light came on, then 3 seconds later the motor stalled. I put transmission in neutral and started the engine and drove for 50 feet before it happened again. This time engine would not restart. I pulled off the road and called the company that did the body work. They retrieved the car soon after. Subsequently, was told my engine failed due to lack of maintenance, ie; oil change.
The shifter cable broke, which caused the transmission to lock up.
