What is wrong
On certain vehicles, the automatic transaxle shift lever appears to be in PARK, but can easily be moved from the PARK position without the use of the key, transaxle lever detent button, or depressing the brake. If the shift lever were to come out of PARK while the vehicle is parked on a non-level surface, a roll away could occur with the possibility of a crash without prior warning. Correction: Shifter assembly will be replaced.
