Arthur Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I almost did it, I was going down a steep hill, and used the "L" low transmission position, at about 20 mph, at the bottom I pushed the shifter back in to D, I thought, and it went all the way to "P" park position, nothing happened until I slowed down, and the parking gear started to grind... ouch... I still had my hand on the shift and imediately pulled it back in to drive... NO problems, yet, sure learned a lesson. I went through reverse, and to park with out any sound or feel on the shifter.

plus 3 golfer Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 You must have continued to hold the shift button in. I don't think you can shift into park from L without pushing in the button. I'll have to try next time I'm in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus-A-CMax Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Could be worse, in my ole Camry - I would roll in neutral down a steep hill and then accidentally push it to R instead of drive. Now it killed the engine but it started fine - did that twice. In the CMax, accidentally pushed it to R...nothing happened, cool. Ole bad habits die hard I guess :runaway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
