Many complaints about shift-to-park difficulties concern drivers who are obliged to repeatedly wriggle and move the electronic shifter in order for it to detect that the shifter is in the ‘Park’ position. This has resulted in drivers becoming stuck in their automobiles when the vehicles fail to change to the ‘Park’ position, preventing them from exiting.
