Is this automatic or manual? If you keep your foot on the brake, there should be no rolling. I've seen automatics do this, different makes and models. I don't know the fix? One of the tranny guys should have better info than I.

I figured it was an automatic. I don't know the fix? You might call a tranny shop see if they will give an estimate to fix.

The last time I had anything to do with a tranny shop, They didn't fix anything, they pulled the old tranny out and stuck in a reman. Cost me 7 or 8 hundred dollars and that was years ago. I don't work on trannies.
