Hello -
Here is the video Old Mech is talking about :
Ross Video Helped Save My Life - ABC News
He knew to put it into Neutral from a previous ABC video. He did Neutral/drive switching to get to the dealer.
I also blame the software. I am a programmer, so I totally believe that this could happen. What I can't believe is that this wasn't caught in testing.
Speculation: Maybe the parts used in testing (sensors, throttle body, accelerator pedal) were downgraded in the factory.
