Mine did. I was stranded at school with no one to call. With no other choice I read the manual (2005 Chevy Aveo) and it told me to turn off the car, put on the parking brake, stick my key into this little hole next to the gear shift stick (automatic), hold it in there and move the gear out of park. I had to be gentle because it felt like I would break it if I tried to hard to force it.
It worked!! But every time I parked for the rest of the day I had to do the same process over again. The manual said to have it fixed as soon as possible but then the next day it was just fine. No problems since.
Do I still need to get it fixed? Does this same thing happen with other new model cars?
It never happened with any of my other cars ever. I have never even heard of this problem.

i own a repair shop,and i have a customer who has one ,and hers keeps doing it,not all the time ,but enough to make her late for appointments, its covered under warranty and Chevy will repair it free of charge,i finally talked her in to taking it in ,and having it fixed,and now it hasn't done it,in over a month,they said something about the lock out feature or switch being bad on it,or not being adjusted right,but they put a new one on hers,and it seems to be fine now,i know how you feel it can make you late for everything,id call and have them set up a date when you can take it in,and they can repair it in about an hour,good luck with it,,i hope this help,s.

If it is a new car (or one without many miles) it needs to be driven in. When a car is new the engines get much worse fuel economy, as you drive them it will increase. The EPA estimates are also said to be way off, as hey are windows up, AC off, not stop-and-go, and at slower speeds than people usually drive. In magizines and other reviews they always rate the fuel economy low simply because the short time they have it its engine is not running up to full potential.

Buy an American built car, like a Hyundai Sonata (built in Alabama) or a Honda Accord (built in Ohio).

Next time it does this, check to see if your brake lights work.
