I HAVE A '05 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION (ONE TURN WITH THE VEHICLE OFF), THE VEHICLE WILL BE ABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARKED POSITION WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER THEY SAY THAT IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. NOT ONLY MY TRUCK DID IT, MY FRIENDS '03 FORD F-350 ALSO DOES IT TOO! I AM NOT SURE IF ALL VEHICLES ARE DESIGNED LIKE THAT OR NOT. WHEN THE VEHICLES KEY IS IN THE RUN POSITION WITH THE VEHICLE OFF, YOU HAVE TO PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE YOU CAN SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE WHOLE IDEA I THOUGHT WAS TO PREVENT A YOUNG CHILD FROM SHIFTING A VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND ROLL INTO TRAFFIC! THE WAY MY TRUCK, AND POSSIBILITY A WHOLE LOT MORE WAS DESIGNED, A CHILD WOULD HAVE A 50-50 CHANCE OF TURNING THE KEY JUST ONE TIME, AND THAT COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHE. *JB
