SHIFT CAR INTO "PARK" AND THE CAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK BUT ON THE DASH THE "P" DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHICH CAUSES AN ERROR MESSAGE OF "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF WHILE THE ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWING, ALL AUXILIARY COMPONENTS (HEAT, RADIO, ETC) STAY ON AND YOUR BATTERY GOES DEAD. OCCURS NEARLY EVERY DAY, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO "PARK".
"ENGINE RECALL" ONCE I TRY TO STICK IT IN PARK, IT TELLS ME TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK! DOES THIS EVERY TIME I TRY TO PUT IT IN PARK! MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 2 YEARS OLD YET AND JUST HIT 30,000 MILES! VERY FRUSTRATING!
