So I was going to work yesterday about 7 miles into my journey, when I came to a stop, the engine stopped as usual then a message appeared on the instrument cluster "engage gear before manuevering" and then the engine would not start after lifting my foot off the brake.
The DS started rolling back (slight incline) where I braked again and then let go thinking the engine would restart.
No dice - message flashed again and the car rolled back as if it was in neutral.
I then noticed the transmission selector had the "D" flashing.
I switched to park and then restarted the engine.
The engine restarted and started working normally.
Has anyone had this happen ?
This may be a major complaint as it is a safety issue. Imagine if I was in the middle of an intersection waiting to turn and the engine cuts out - I am stuck in the middle of cross traffic like a sitting duck!~
