I was driving on the freeway with my hand on the ****; I think I accidently push to “N” my car start going crazy with the engine running at like 6-7k rpm. I quickly shifted back to "D" and it drops back to 2k rpm. Doesn't this damn car lock our shift if brake doesn’t apply?

 

no car locks out the shift from D to N. and vice versa

 

Yep, they all do that. Learned that driving with the gf one time... She uh... bumped it with her shoulder

 

10 char limit

 

Um.. does it lock or not cause both of you are saying different thing.

I feel very unsafe :P... cause I always put my hand on the **** and sometime I hold my girl's hand close to the ****... damn it

 

Are you shifting? No? Then get your hand off the ****! It doesn't belong there at all unless you are shifting. And NO, there is no lock in D or N. It is designed that way so if you need to shift out of gear for any reason (like a stuck throttle) all you have to do is push forward.

The **** isn't a hand rest.

 

Yea i do that too cuz i need a gf

 

hmmm ... lol.. ya same thing happened to me..

 

oh ok, at least I know I am not the only one lol...

 

You must not be adjusting your seat properly.

 

no cars that I drove before locked D<->N

 

No car I've ever driven has locked from D to N.

 

How is this even possible? I can see a hand or knee hitting the shifter, but a shoulder??

 

someone doesn't get the obvious hint!

 

I never even look at the shift indicator. for instance, when i back up and stop to change to drive, i just pull the shifter down 2 clicks (without pushing the button), the shifter wont move lower than drive without pushing the button. Those of you with gated shifters though, just have a break pedal lock out, so I guess it has a diff feel.
