While backing out from a driveway into a city street, I shifted the vehicle from reverse to drive. The gear shift indicated that the car was in drive, but the vehicle continued to roll backward as if it was in neutral. The engine then stopped, and the vehicle needed to be pushed from the street out of the travel lanes.
