## What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have a malfunctioning brake switch. This could allow the shifter lever to be shifted out of the PARK \(P\) position while the ignition is in the RUN mode without depressing the brake pedal, resulting in unintended vehicle movement. As a result, the rear lights could also remain illuminated, causing the following road users to be unaware of the driver’s intention. These situations could increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the defective brake switch.
