Hazard

In the powertrain system, the spring retaining position on the rod that locks the parking mechanism gear of the automatic transmission is inappropriate. Even when shifting to park position, the parking mechanism may rarely fail to engage, and in the worst case, the vehicle may move. However, if the parking brake is used in conjunction, the vehicle will not move.
