Agree, Hmmm!  Car stopped, foot on the brake or handbrake on?

Also, does it jump to park from D or R  when the engine is switched off?

Can't help any more I'm sorry to say.

Get the fault codes read. Sounds like it could be the gear selector control box going by your other posts too.

I have seen this a few times at work it is normally a gear selector switch, I would agree with getting the faults checked to be safe. Hope this helps

Thanks

Suspected gear selector
Although looking at realoem and Indy flagging up it would be a replacement gear selector
Is there a replaceable switch?

If my understanding is correct the 'switch' is in the control box attached to the bottom of the gear selector so you end up with a whole new unit.
