Parking break failure

Troyz

I assumed most newer vehicles with Automatic Transmissions won't allow you to turn off the car in any gear other than N or P?

Unless my car is sitting in my garage I always put my M6 in gear with the emergency brake engaged. And if I am on a hill I angle my front tires to go into the curve in case the above fails.

Can you reproduce this?

I think the dealership could be liable for selling you an unsafe car. At the very least they should fix your transmission for no charge for something overlooked during a safety inspection.

People have been killed by vehicles jumping out of park. If you had even a sip of beer and your Z ran over a pedestrian I bet you would be sitting in jail right now eating green eggs and ham.
