Has anyone else experienced this issue? You pull into a parking spot or a driveway or otherwise stop your Leaf. You quickly press the "P" button. The car does not go into park but instead remains in D/ECO. This happened to me this morning and it's probably the 2nd or 3rd time it's happened to me in the last year. Fortunately I was in a parking space so when I got out of the car it only rolled forward a little bit until the curb stopped my car.
Yes, I should look at the instrument cluster to see the "P." But wouldn't it be slightly better if the car provided me with positive audio feedback that it went into park as well? Like a confirmation beep or something? Or does this problem not happen to anyone else? All of my other cars had a more traditional shifter, which provided tactile feedback that it was in the gear I wanted it to be in. I don't mind the button push but if it isn't going to register "Park" 100% of the time that I push the "P" button, no matter how long or forcefully I push the button, isn't that a problem? This isn't a light tap either, I'm pushing the "P" button all the way until it stops. It's just that every once in a while it doesn't go into Park.
