On 9/10/17 my wife was driving the above mentioned car. She tried to park the car in the parking lot, the car will not shift in park, the shifter was free and then car started rolling. The car was about to go over the ravine, she pressed the emergency brakes. And stopped the car, otherwise she would have gone through the ravine and hit the main road traffic. She called me and I got her home and then went back to try to turn the car on, it will not run and gears shifter was stuck. I got the car towed to my mechanic at eoc homewood store #0102.
The dash start cracking up for no apparent reason and the car is mostly park inside a garage day and night. I have called dealers and nothing has been done so far and I have been told that's a manufacturer defect and it should be corrected by dealer. The transmission some times does not change the gears and others stop to work and I could cause a rear end collision.
