I am amazed how many think the invention of the parking pawl was to make the parking brake obsolete. Most seem to think it is just a Federal mandated 'emergency brake' that no-one actually needs to use.
"Why does the transmission make that 'bang' when I pull it out of park on my sloped driveway"
X2!! :S
Using Just the transmission parking pawl, to hold a motor home on any surface is just crazy!
I have a manual TV and two automatic cars, I set the parking brake on all three every time!
I think at one time or another all the car makers have issues recalls for automatic transmission not fully engaging and popping out of park and rolling and causing damage, injury or even death.
